    I confess, sometimes I’ve watched fashion make-overs on TV or seen them in magazines and I’ve secretly wished I could be one of those people.The problem is, I worry that would mean giving up my comfy yoga pants and t-shirts. I usually console my disheveled self by saying looks shouldn’t matter anyway. It’s what’s on the inside that counts, right? I mean, what was it that our moms always told us? “You can’t judge a book by its cover.”  Read more >

    I'm vegan now so I no  longer eat them, but I still have this preoccupation with M&Ms. I wrote a post on Namely Marly that suggested there may be a little self infatuation involved. You see, M&Ms share my initials. Come to find out, there may be more to names than we previously knew. This news is thanks to four recent studies on names linking the relationship people have with their names.  Read more >

    I’m vegan. So is my husband and my daughter. I realize this makes us a little different than the average person. I don’t know what the exact numbers are, but I assume vegans make up a fairly small percentage of the overall population. Sometimes when you’re part of a small demographic, you have a tendency to look at things differently. This is the case for me and old sayings.  Read more >

About Me: 

I use my blog, Namely Marly to talk about life, my vegan journey, motherhood, and of course, names. Names of people, names of recipes (Snickerdoodles?), famous people who’ve changed their names (Jon Stewart), place names, band names, and more (yes, there’s more).

 

Professionally, I have an MBA and my experience is in the healthcare field. I work with primary care medical practices - helping them to modernize their practices and find ways to become more patient-centered in their work. It's very fulfilling to work with people in primary care medical practices!
