Name Change

Mar 22, 2011 15:40

First Name: Sahra

Middle Name: Honey Badger

Last Name: Santosha.

I've already posted it as a nickname on Facebook and will be using it from here on in. The Santosha I'm pretty serious about. The Honey Badger I'm really enthusiastic about *right now*, but I'm waiting to see if I still feel that way in a month.

Santosha is the second of the five Yogic niyamas, and I strongly identify with it. It translates loosely as "contentment." It's about experiencing balance, peace, and equanimity with whatever you are experiencing in that moment - and that this is the foundation of happiness. Plus I think it sounds cool after my first name.

The honey badger is just awesome. Thick-skinned, immune to poison, highly adaptable, and self-reliant. Just awesome. :o)
