I started this blog five years ago! I know! Since then, I’ve moved three more times, changed industries, fallen in love with who I am, been in and out of relationships — whew — it’s been a journey.
And it’s been so much fun. But more and more, I’m finding blogging a chore more than a joy.
So I’ve made a decision. Instead of promising a blog weekly, I’m going to cut back. I might blog every other week, I might blog once a month — I’m going to blog when it feels right and when I truly want to say something.
I’m finally back in my dream city, working on buying my first condo, working at a company I genuinely enjoy, I’m in love with who I am and where I’m going, I’m spending less time online and more time living.
I’m also chasing dreams that I’ve put to the side for years. Like writing a book. And traveling the world more and more. And connecting on a deeper level with the people that are important to me. I’m cooking more — and genuinely enjoying a healthy relationship with food. I’m working out because I love how it makes me feel — not because I want it to change my body. I’m stepping away from work as my primary focus, and I’m detaching from the idea that my work makes me any more valuable as a person.
I’m living my best life and it feels incredible.
I’m not sure what my journey has in store. But I do know, if it’s not bringing me joy, I’m going to let it go. My whole focus is building a life that makes me happy.
So I thank those of you who have been reading for the last five years. I hope you’ll stick with me as I develop a new relationship with blogging.
Writing is deeply healing for me, and this blog has proven I’ll never be able to give it up. Who knows, maybe published author is in my future…
Until then…sparkle on sequins!
