Hi there. Been a while, huh?
Apparently I haven’t posted anything since July, 2019. I’m not sure what made me stop writing on this blog…I think it had a lot to do with my mental health and the job I had when I started this. I was in a job field I absolutely loved, but was stuck. I couldn’t advance or move up. I couldn’t get hired. I felt really hopeless. Finally, in late summer/early fall last year I decided to make the decision to leave the non-profit world, and enter the corporate world. Like non-profits, everyone has a different experience with the corporate world, and I can happily say mine so far has been amazing. I haven’t loved a job since I worked at my university’s archives in college. And I really loved that job. I’m really happy I made the change when I did. It’s been a busy first year to say the least, but I have grown a lot in my professional life.
However, with a new, busier, job, I quickly noticed my reading habits had changed and I wasn’t reading as much. Where I used to read six or seven books a month I was now reading maybe three or four if it was a good month. I wanted to come back to this space to start writing again, but felt like I didn’t have enough content to make it worth wile. There was no way I’d have bandwidth to post every day or every other day, so instead of adapting…I just stopped.
I want to ease back into this space again because I have missed this. I miss talking about books, reading your reviews, and finding new books to read. But more importantly I miss writing and having a creative outlet. I miss having a hobby. 😉
I can’t promise I will post on a regular schedule; probably mainly later in the week and on the weekends. I will definitely be posting more food content because I have done a lot of cooking this year. It’s been my one outlet to help the pandemic anxiety.
I’ll share what I’ve read in 2020 soon. Heads up, it’s not great.
Welcome back! Happy to hear you’re enjoying your job and your life in general. That’s really the important thing in the end.
Yes for sure! I’m so happy to be back and to catch up on what everyone has been reading and writing about. 🙂
Welcome back! 😀 It’s good to see you around! I wondered where you went but figured you might be on a hiatus. XD It’s really nice to hear you have a great job that you love and I’m looking forward to your blog posts.
It’s so nice to be back 🙂 Life got in the way, but I can’t way to start posting again and catching up on what everyone else has been reading!
Welcome back Kacey. So glad to hear you are enjoying your new job. When I was working, I only read a book a week. Nothing wrong with that. Hope you are able to do what you want to do with your blog.
Thank you, Carla! I’m excited to be back 🙂 I’m hoping 2021 will be a better reading year for me!
Glad to have you back! I can’t wait to see what books you have read! Happy 2021!
2020 was definitely an off year for me, but I’m hoping this year will be MUCH better for me. 🙂
