Interesting factoid.... my family always prounced my name as 'Car - a - Lee', but with my Mum's Canadian accent is was a little more like 'Care - a - Lee', and then when I was 15 my best friend took a hard look at the spelling and announced it's 'Car - a - Lee - a', and I liked that, so it was... And now my Mum has, after 29 years, has changed the way she pronounces my name, and it sounds odd coming from her... but the correct pronounciation is as above: 'Car-a-Lee-a'. I like the rhythm. Incidentally, my Mum (Mary Lou - how's that for North American...) made up my name. She liked 'Kara', but thought it sounded too hard... so she added Leah (from the Bible story of Rachel and Leah) to soften it... and I think she was bang on. I HATE being called Kara. It's just all wrong. K-L is cool. It still has that combination of strength and softness... Which is why I love these word of the days, because you look at the way words sound too... rhythm is everything. Ah… my name.

Don't hesitate to share! Kara-Leah, I may have to see if I can change the color my brain associates with you from green to purple... I've never <i>tried</i> to change someone's color before... By the way -- how <strong>DO</strong> you pronounce your name? Does "Leah" have one syllable or two? And is "Kara"'s stressed syllable like "car" or "care"?

But one of the things I'm most enjoying about being a subscriber to your Word of the Day is watching the synchronicities that unfold between words that are on my mind on a given day and those you choose to address. There is a prophetic synergy here. Very exciting. How intersting that this was the word that stuck out for me so much in the meditation we discussed.
