Hello Friends!
It’s Been a While… But I’m Back! Here’s What’s Been Going On.
Hello, friends!
First things first, I owe all of you an apology. I know it’s been a while since my last post, and for those of you who’ve been waiting patiently (or perhaps wondering what happened to me), I just want to say: thank you. It means so much to me that you’ve stuck around.
The truth is, I needed some time to step away and recharge. Life can get overwhelming, and sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves is to take a pause—whether that’s from work, creative projects, or even our passions. So, that’s what I did. I took a break from blogging to focus on a few personal things, reflect on where I want this blog to go, and rediscover the joy of writing.
But now, I’m excited to say that I’m back, and I’ve got a fresh perspective and a whole new approach to share with you. 🙌
Why I Took a Break
I’ve always believed that creativity thrives when you give yourself permission to step away and let your mind breathe. For a while, I felt like I was going through the motions—writing posts because I felt like I had to, not because I was genuinely inspired. I didn’t want to just churn out content for the sake of it, so I decided to hit pause, take stock of my life, and spend time doing things that refueled me.
During that time, I read books, took long walks, traveled (a little), and spent time with friends and family. It was a period of rediscovery for me, not only as a writer but as a person.
I also spent time reflecting on what this blog means to me and what I want it to offer you. I want this space to be more than just a collection of posts—I want it to be a place of connection, inspiration, and meaningful conversation.
What You Can Expect Moving Forward
So, what’s next? Well, I’m so glad you asked! As I dive back into writing, here’s what you can look forward to:
Fresh Topics: While I’ll still be covering: personal growth, travel, lifestyle, expect some new areas of exploration as well. I’m excited to share more and dive deeper into subjects that have been on my mind.
A New Focus: One of the things I realized during my break was that I want this blog to feel more intimate, more reflective. Expect longer, more thoughtful posts where I share not just tips and advice, but personal stories, struggles, and victories. I think we can all use a little more vulnerability in our lives.
Consistency, But Flexibility: I won’t be posting every day or week—life happens, and I want to make sure the content I share is meaningful. But I will be here regularly, sharing stories, ideas, and insights that I hope will spark something in you, too.
What I’ve Learned in the Time Away
Taking a break isn’t easy, especially when you feel like you’re leaving something unfinished. But sometimes, letting go for a while helps you come back stronger. I’ve learned that:
- It’s okay to take a step back: You don’t always have to be “on.” It’s okay to pause, regroup, and refocus.
- Creativity requires space: Pushing yourself to create when you’re not inspired only leads to burnout. Space allows inspiration to breathe and flow naturally.
- Community matters: I’ve missed hearing from all of you. This community means so much to me, and I’m so grateful for your patience during my time away.
What’s Coming Next?
In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing posts, new and old, and I can’t wait to dive into it with you. I’m looking forward to getting back to what I love and having more conversations with you, whether it’s in the comments, on social media, or through email.
Thank you for being here, for your support, and for sticking with me during this break. It’s good to be back. And as always, I’d love to hear from you—what would you like to see more of on the blog? Let me know in the comments below!
Here’s to a new chapter of inspiration, growth, and creativity. Let’s make it a great one. ✨
With love,
Jess
