This Blog

 This blog has been a lot of things over the years. 

• A place for religious reflection
• A travel Blog
• Wedding planning
• More travel
• Processing of grief 
• A space to heal 
• A place where I could put everything out there 
• More travel
• A place to look back on the good
• A place to grow. 

The the last 12 months the blog has had over 6400 views. Compared to 4000 in the 7+ years prior combined.  Knowing people were "with me" thought was helping me through some of the pain, but what I've started to realize, is that people didn't check in on me that many times- not even remotely close to that.  Reading my blog gave people a way to feel connected to me without having to actually connect with me. And in 2025, I'd rather connect with people, face to face, over the phone or at the bare minimum the texts and memes my besties and I send to each other daily. 

I'm not saying I'll stop blogging all together. I think it is a great spot to talk about travel, recipes or favorite things, but the sharing so much of my life, I'm going to pull back on what goes out to the world.  If you want to know what's going on in my life ask. Go out for a drink or a coffee with me. Call me. Do more than just click a link or like a post. 

Signing off for now
