What's in a name...

Where did you find the name for your blog? (If you don't have one, where will you find the name?).  I have been reading a great book Primal Leader by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzix and Annie McKee.  In this book there is a small section called "Inspiration and the Hour of the Rat", whilst the authors are talking about leaders being inspired, their words also inspired me to get going on this blog idea. 

"Often deep wisdom comes in the middle of the night, during... ... the hour of the rat - that dark, quiet time of the night when no one is around and things start to [inspire] you."

The name of the hour comes from the Chinese zodiac which applies to earth as well as the heavens, the day was broken down in to 12 parts, "double hours".  The hour of the rat falls between 11.00 p.m. and 1.oo a.m..  The perfect time for quiet work, don't you think?  Realistically that is the time when most of planned work on this blog is going to be done.  For a more detailed explanation of the Chinese Zodiac you can of course google it or have a read of this.
