a fresh new year

Hello my friends! If you’re a regular visitor to this space, you may notice something different today… I have changed the look of my blog! Yay!

I’ve been really feeling a change coming on for a while but finally I’ve done it and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. It was almost a year ago, when I wrote this post with a new vision for this space and where I’m going for 2010. It was a great year (despite my ranting here), but I am still thrilled with the direction my life and my blog took. So this is goodbye to the old!

Well, now it’s the future and I’m taking another leap into the blogosphere and I’m re-tweaking my style and creating a new vision for this space. What I love most about blogging is the connection that people from all over the globe are making. Strangers can find similar interests, share the same points of view, leave suggestions, share ideas, be inspired and provide inspiration for others to take into their own little piece of the world.

My outlook for a rebranded Lifeologia blog is to create a bigger space for the connections that can be made here through more of the same but with a fresher spin. I want this to be a space that offers a wide variety of information, tips and ideas on family living, creative projects, healthy meals and photography – all with a bit of a magazine feel. Wait, there’s now a word for it – I want Lifeologia to be a bit of a blog and a bit of a magazine – so today, a blogazine theme is born. (Here’s a little secret, I always wanted to have my own magazine probably since I was twelve and I spent my lunch money on Martha Stewart magazines).

Times have changed and luckily so did the magazine trends and this is the next best thing for me to cross this dream off my list ;) Did I not say I’m a big dreamer? ;) lol  This isn’t really about doing some grand big thing – it’s really about following my heart and doing what I love which is combining my graphic design and photography skills and bringing together inspirational and interesting posts for someone out there to read. With that, I love making new friends and connecting with people all over the globe. I love YOU for coming to read my words. It’s an honour and I feel so blessed to have you here ;)

I still have a few things to tweak so please don’t mind some of the glitches you’ll see over the next few days. Hopefully I will finish off the design of it soon so it has the feel I want – before I change my whole mind again and want to rebrand again ;)  With that said, I hope you like this new look. I would love to hear some suggestions from you as to what you enjoy most about blogs or your favourite magazine. I’m all ears and would love to hear some ideas you have.

Best wishes again for the New Year!
with love, Ella
