Hello beautiful being!!!
First things first, Happy Harvest Moon 🌕 A little context: today is this month’s full moon and by the ancient calendar, the full moon that falls closest to the autumnal equinox (when the Sun illuminates the northern and southern hemispheres of the Earth equally in autumn/fall) is called a Harvest Moon. Occasionally, depending on how the lunar cycle lines up, the Harvest Moon will be in October, taking over the Hunter’s Moon (October full moon’s name). The September full moon is called Corn Moon but since the autumnal equinox mainly falls in September, it rarely gets called that. The reason it’s called Harvest Moon is because it used to aid farmers in harvesting their summer crops with its brightness…
Okay without getting into too much too fast (says the person who already went on a tangent about the Harvest Moon) I thought I’d do a quick little intro so you can get to know me a little bit.
What's in a name?
Though before we get in
to that, I want to explain the name of the blog:
I think the best way to go about this is to define the words first (huge shoutout to Merriam Webster dictionary)
betterment noun
bet·ter·ment | \ ˈbe-tər-mənt \
Definition of betterment
1: a making or becoming better
2: an improvement that adds to the value of a property or facility
cusp noun
\ ˈkəsp \
Definition of cusp
: POINT, APEX: such as
a: a point of transition (as from one historical period to the next): TURNING POINT
also : EDGE, VERGE
So in other words, the betterment cusp is the point at which one can make something better.
I love writing and starting a blog has always been a “why not” moment for me but I never knew what I wanted to write about, right? I mean what was it that I wanted to say? What’s interesting enough to take up space in the blogsphere? Then recently things started aligning – I became obsessed with bettering myself in all senses - mentally, physically, emotionally (I think realising I was turning 27 had a lot to do with that you know?) and I got to thinking that we can all be on the verge of bettering ourselves every single day. I got this quote the other day from the Motivation App and it said “you only have one job: to be better today than you were yesterday”. Sounds like a doable task right?
So my intention for this blog is to encourage people (and myself) to better ourselves with small, inexpensive and super attainable tweaks to make life easier and… well, better, while focusing on both the inside and out of ourselves. I really want to share and provide content that can potentially better your life day-to-day as well as on a large scale, which I’ve and I hope to build a community with you so we can all support each other on our own cusp of betterment.
