Hi Lani,just when I think I might quit blogging something hanppens like your comment. The internet can be a fun and encouraging thing. I like you're blog. It is refreshing and creative. I can't wait to read more. And I LOVE the flower analogy. I love flowers and I'm a born country girl and now transplanted to the almost city. It sounds like you have a gift for seeing God in the everyday and I can always use more of that.

Anyway, you asked about Taneah's name. It was the name her b-mom gave her but we changed the spelling. The original spelling was Taniea and derived from Tatianna and it means "queen". We call her Neah for short. It fits her and I love it.

If you write the book. Please share it with me. That would be such a neat thing for her. Bye for now.
