Hi friends! Wow, it has been a while! I didn’t mean to take a summer vacation from blogging, but alas. I hope you all have been doing well! 😁
I’m good, there’s just been some… stuff happening in my orbit. I don’t mean to sound like a vague Facebook status circa 2009—this “stuff” is not happening to me directly, so it’s just not my story to tell. But it did contribute to the need to take a break from… anything I could take a break from over the summer, haha. I don’t know what sort of schedule my blogging is going to have in the immediate future, but I do hope to be a bit less erratic with posting in the fall!
All of that notwithstanding… there were definitely some sparkly, wonderful, expansive moments over the summer. Not to mention that I am just SO HAPPY that I’m not where I was in September 2022 (recovering from covid and the nightmarish anxiety portal it opened). To be feeling pretty consistently fine-to-good, even in the face of overwhelm, is a huge relief and a testament to med adjustments + continued therapy. 🙌
Despite my absence from this space, I did post a bit more than usual over on my Instagram, about such summer happenings as:
A magical solo trip to NYC for a taping of the Almost 30 podcast!
A visit to the botanical garden with Kristin’s sister!
One year with Pudge!!
Getting a ball at a minor league baseball game! (😂🤷🏼♀️)
How have you guys been? I have missed you, friends, and I’m really sorry that I just disappeared. I know that I’ve felt alarmed when people I follow vanish. For some reason, I feel like I need to write, like, an obsessively-edited manifesto if I’m going to blog? I think that’s why short-form content, like reels and photo dumps on IG, became an appealing (and playful!) alternative over the summer. It would probably help to approach blogging with a similar sense of play and not feel like my options are: 1.) write a novella or 2.) not blog at all. Love me some black and white thinking! 😂🤦🏼♀️
ANYWAY, what’s put the sparkle in your summer? Fill me in! ✨
Happy Friday! xoxo
