      Welcome! The meaning behind the name

      Tweet

      The Boomerang travels around the world. The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you. It goes out with kindness and inspiration around in a circle coming back to you. What will you be throwing out into the world today?

      The name "Hummie's World" has a meaning of kindness and you can read more about it on the About Me pages. I wanted the store to have a unique name of it's own.

      One of my favorite quotes I keep on the sidebar of my blog:

      I expect to pass through this world but once.
      Any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow-being, let me do it now; let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. - Drummond

      Please remember the meaning of The Boomerang each time you visit. I want to encourage the designers to have a heart of kindness.

      In The Boomerang threads, you may find "random acts of kindness" from designers (RAK) or "pay it forwards" (PIF).

      Be sure to bounce back and visit us often as you travel around the digiworld!

      Watch for new products to be swiiiiishhhhhing into the store!

      I happened upon this video on youtube today that speaks the same message.

      Thank you Nanny! I was worried how the name would be accepted without knowing the meaning. So glad you read it and liked it.

      Boomerang - love your explanation of the name. RAK - I practice this as often as possible when I'm out & about and then explain it and tell them (if it's a person-to-person encounter) to PIF.....

      Hummie I probably deserve to be spanked for my lack of attendance, communication, and effort applied to my lessons. Please do not think I have forgotten my friends and all the other students, but life, as it does sometimes, has taken me in a few directions at the same time (My Moms book was very time consuming as is the hours spent on advertising same). Just hold back on the spanking while you bear with me for a little and things will get back to normal.
      Hummmmmmmmmmmm, some say a good spanking now and then is very good for ones health and relaxation. Maybe I should reconsider, I'll get back to you on this.
      Smile, it makes people wonder what you have been up too!
