We are one month into the year and so much has happened in the past couple of weeks that it feels like a lifetime.

But before I jump into all of that I should explain where I have been the past year. Back in January of last year I had written a post about how I was refocusing on my website and would be taking a two month break to create content and come back better than ever in April. Then April came and I posted one post about the direction I was headed with my content and then.. nothing. To be honest with you I just wasn’t feeling inspired. My environment was not motivating and I had started to feel a lot of stress. The content just didn’t come to me and so I took an unannounced hiatus.

So what brings me back to my website after a year of radio silence? A few things. Am I still stressed? Yes. But these past couple of months I have found a new love of Self Care and Mindfulness that I am excited to talk to you about. I am moving into a new apartment with my boyfriend that I absolutely love, and I am excited to be in a new environment. I am starting a new job where I get to take my ownership of my work and continue to grow. There is a lot happening.

With that being said, I am not here to over-commit to you. One post a week that is thoroughly thought out is what I am striving for. And if I miss a week? That’s okay. I am jumping back into this slowly so that I can share with you things that are actually inspire me.

Topics like Food & Beverage and Entertaining will continue to be focal points of my website along with Home Decor and Creating a Welcoming Environment. But I will also be incorporating a ton more Self Care related content that I hope will enjoy.

I can not promise this will be the last time I say this, but Welcome Back to My Nine Lives. I hope my content brings you as much joy as it brings me.
