It’s actually my nickname @Shaz51. It relates to my real name but you have to be older than me to get it. The 24 is my birthday

Mine is based on my burlesque alter ego which plays on the word "Vendetta" - but not because I have a grudge!

Good morning @tyme
What a lovely question. Thanks for asking.
Personally, I didn't give it too much thought. I knew I was at risk of overthinking it (sometimes I do that 😋) so, I chose one of the first things that came in my mind. I'm not French but I believe the French say Bon Courage to people when they embark on a journey. I guess I take it to mean "may you be courageous."

@tyme my username is pretty self explanatory 😀 but there's a reason I love penguins!
I fell in love with penguins when I was learning about them in grade 1. They couldn't fly like the other birds and I related, I couldn't soar high above like the other kids. Penguins are still just as awesome as the other birds though, just in other ways! And so am I 😁

Beautiful metaphor for Life @Ilovepenguins
Thanks for sharing.
Penguins are wonderful birds. They thrive in a very difficult climate. They are aware of the power of connection, and they are great swimmers too 😊😋.
Great choice!
