I know many of you follow me on Facebook & Instagram - so this is kind of old news . . . but for those of you who don't, I wanted to officially share that I have changed my last name!
Nishi was my married name, and given that I haven't been married for quite some time, I was ready to choose something new. Why West? Well . . . Nishi means West in Japanese - so I feel like this will keep me connected to my kids on a certain level, and now I really CAN be West of Whimsy! It also has all kinds of visions of New Frontiers for me and as I move toward getting certified as a Life Coach next year - it feels good and right, and a little bit badass.
So how about we celebrate with some Village People?
(Go west) Life is peaceful there
(Go west) Lots of open air
(Go west) To begin life new
(Go west) This is what we'll do
Hilarious . . . and I do kind of like those lyrics - perfect way to start off the New Year!
Eileen West <---- That's ME!
Congratulations! And I must confess I was kind of confused when I first saw your photo and you did not look Japanese. Ha!
