Nope, your eyes are definitely not playing tricks on you; I
have indeed updated my blog. I don’t normally like to give excuses, but I do
feel as though I owe you my readers an explanation. Sometime last year, I realized I was not
enjoying life, and I do mean not at all. I was overwhelmed with
responsibilities, between work, school and my blog I was struggling to find a
happy medium. It all seemed like busy work. I was pressed to find time to do
anything, you know like sleep. I wanted to be free of everything, so I took
some advice and stopped doing anything extra other than going to work and
coming home. I read books, shopped, traveled and slept. Sleep was very elusive
to me until this summer, and all of my doctors told me that my diabetes would
get worse if I didn’t do better.
After months of doing nothing, I started to get the nagging
feeling that I was missing something, that something was blogging. I missed
sharing my outfits, journeys and feelings. I missed the camaraderie that I
built with my fellow bloggers, I missed sharing the perfect outfit… I simply
missed blogging. Deep down inside I wanted to be a more committed blogger, who
was less tempted to throw in the towel when it got too hard. So I did something
I didn’t do before I started blogging, I studied the art of blogging. I began
to observe and study other bloggers, the ones I admired, the ones who seem to
shine and express themselves without fail. In the next weeks my blog will
resurface. More outfit post, a bit less writing, fun pieces and projects that I
want to share. For anyone who is still around to read, Thank you for reading!
For anyone who is new to the blog welcome and thank you for reading!!! I promise
this time no extreme breaks!

YAY!!! :) Dun dun dun!!! Welcome back. I haven't been any better, I blog maybe once or twice a month. I was just thinking this morning how I need to do better. I've missed blogging and I've missed my lovelies such as yourself that I met while blogging. <3 I'm glad your back! Maybe we will keep each other in line!
ReplyDelete@Nikstar yes indeed!!! We must keep up!!!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed! We have to keep up with each other!!! I need to come visit soon!
ReplyDeleteI actually just started reading your blog so I'm looking forward to the "come back" and I'm excited to see your future posts.
ReplyDeleteAs far as being overwhelmed and needing a break, I know that feeling all too well so you're not alone on that. I recently reinvented my blog after a lengthy hiatus and I think it was the push I needed to get back into it. I went from a nail polish/nail art blog to mostly a fashion blog. Sometimes a little change and a little break are all we need to feel invigorated and ready to take on the world! Good luck and welcome back!
Welcome back hun!!! I did miss you and can not wait to see what you have in store. I am thinking about doing an extreme break myself because I have been doing some some studying on the art of blogging. I have lost some friends in the mist of this ordeal but I see that God does all things for the better. I have been doing some change of things over at my sit too but I still feel like something is missing...
ReplyDeleteBut anywho, welcome back and don't leave the other southern chick over here hanging alone. I do want to extend this to you, do take care of yourself first!!!!
omg your back! so happy to see you back on my blog roll! i understand how things such as life get in the way but its good that you took the time to refocus and prioritise! Looking forward to the new stuff u have in store! stay blessed! xoxo
