Name and blog concept copied
-
Thank you everyone for helping me to gain a different perspective. Sometimes I can so easily get wrapped up in my own little percentage of a fraction here on earth that I forget about the whole rest. I suppose that it is possible that people many miles away could have come up with the same name as mine and had similar thoughts about that name. Afterall, I thought of it, so, why should I be the only one, right? WHATEVER….as my 10 year old would say. Just gotta love that blasse attitude. Your all right in your own ways. I think it boils down to giving up the control and letting life be what it will. Aint always easy! Still, I will wait for the powers that be to make their decisions and whatever will be, will be, que serra, serra. Thanks everyone for your feedback. I have not much left to say but WHATEVER….lol.

hello,
Well, this is the people from the InnerPrints blog – kind of blown away a bit about the words being bandied around here – like stealing etc. Although we have only been blogging for a couple of months, our name and concepts ( we own the .com and have done for almost 3 years.) have been around a lot longer than October 2008. I believe our concept of finding the uniqueness and gifts within each of us is absolutely not unique to us – or to you Brenda. I’m afraid you can’t really take credit for it. Martha Graham, the iconic American modern dancer was talking about it many years ago. But I do believe that these concepts are incredibly uplifting and worthwhile because of it. They always add to the world, rather than take away, and they can never really ‘belong’ to you or us. They are universal. I know it doesn’t solve the name thing and really the bottom line is that we did have our own ‘aha’ moment with it and registered the dot com two years before you and were working with clients with these concepts at that time. As I said in my email to you, isn’t there a way to think about working with this rather than all the ‘fear’ energy floating around. It just doesn’t have to be like that. imo.
Anyway…
Prue InnerPrints
PS. We have never even looked at your website til today. :( -

Prue,
Yes you have had the domain .com since 2007. I tried to buy that domain in 10/08 and found that the website under that domain was in chinese. There were obscenities that I noted among the Chinese so I do not think that it was a creative arts blog. You have denied that this was your site. Either way, there was no creative arts blog until 2 months ago despite the fact that you have had the domain since 2007. This has given me further cause for question. You cannot blame me for wondering about this.Either way, we are where we are. I do apologize for bringing this out in this forum. I jumped to conclusions that I should not have without doing further investigation. As I mentioned in my email to you, I appreciate your positive approach and I hope that we can turn this around and make this work for both of us. This has been a real learning experience for me. Hopefully there will not be a next time for this but if there is, I sure will handle the situation differently.

I’ve seen people swear on their grandmother’s graves that they don’t know each other and have never seen each other’s blogs and they both came up with the same name with similar content. Think of it as great minds think alike!
Before starting my blog, I first checked to see if the name of the blog was taken and also if the name I use as “my identity” was also taken. Run the names through Google and any domain registrant like Godaddy. See if anyone else has taken it. On Google, put all multiple words together without spaces.
