The Title

It occurs to me that not everyone understands why I have changed my last name. Think of it as a pen name. A sensible alter ego for my "work." Solo being used for a habitual writing purpose only, and with the very high potential in being my future published/social name. There is one other option which will remain undisclosed at this time.

The name Golightly originates from the classic film Breakfast at Tiffany's. I most recently did a photo shoot with a dear friend of mine humbly attempting to reenact Audrey Hepburn's, character Holly Golightly, infatuation with diamonds. Not that I have an infatuation with diamonds. I do not. However, having one on with such great value was completely tantalizing. Teasing, poking my inner princess. Striking a chord to run out the door with the necklace still on! (ha ha) Also, and lastly the most important reason to the Golightly referendum is my middle name. Rae, given by my mother with the meaning as I being her "sunshine rae of light." You know! Like the song, "you are my sunshine- my only sunshine- you make me happy- when skies are gray..." That's what, so Golightly well... it just fits the whole "Sunshine Rae of light," just more profound and serious! The non-disclosed name mentioned above, which is the back up depending on publishers preference, is even more mischievous on the serious scale : O EEK!!

My dear friend Larry Peterson a FANTASTIC photographer!!

As for the name "Redemption Climb," I could not think of any other word to describe the climb better as to what it will do for me. I kept leaning towards the direction of naming it "Climb for a Cause," but just felt weak.


I was thinking strong at the moment, and in all honesty heard a choir singing Bob Marley's "Redemption Song." Going along with all the times I felt strong dancing in the front row at a Unity the Band show (http://www.unitytheband.com/), or any other live music performance for that matter, seeing how it affects a crowd genuinely freeing my spirit! So far, this whole thing has been doing just that. Broadening freedom. Feeling closer to the infinite world containing all possibility. I will be going into more detail on this involving family, and the actual focus of the benefit I am choosing.





Reminder to self:

Get out of this late night blogging habit. It is day three, and I am whooped!
