Hello 2020

Happy New Year & welcome to my first blog post of 2020!


After taking an extended break from the blog, I’m ready to get back to it!

Blogging is one of those things I’m always thinking about & wishing I could do more of & I think I’ll make it happen in 2020…at least on a semi-consistent basis!  I really want to post every day, but that seems unrealistic, so I’ll try to post as often as I can!

Toward the end of 2019, I had a little bit of a social media crisis & almost quit blogging altogether.  The comparison game I was playing in my head was getting to be too much & I almost completely walked away from social media, blogging included.  I scaled my blog posts way back & went into hibernation mode.  I’m just now slowly crawling out of my hibernation & I’m ready to start contributing online again.

I wish I pinpoint exactly what made me stop comparing myself to others online, but I don’t have the answer.  Just as the comparison feelings showed up in full force one day, they subsided one day without making a huge deal.  Comparison can be a dark place & I’m glad I’m out of there for now.  I’m sure the feelings will come back, but I’m trying my best to keep them away!

I’m excited for the things to come & can’t wait to document them! 

 

 I received the awesome Currently Workbook for Christmas & I’m super excited to get started on it!  I think this workbook is such a cool idea!  A long time ago, I did journaling for about a year & loved it so I’m sure I’m going to love this as well!  I think it will be fun to look back on someday!  I’m also a huge fan of the author, Tracy Benjamin & have followed her for years, so it’s neat to have something she created!  Although I have my blog, I think the workbook will give me another level to look back on!

So I guess that’s it for now!  To sum it up, I’m back & excited!  Haha!  I can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store!

As always, if you have any post ideas for me, please let me know!  I’m planning on a lot of furniture makeover posts right now & I’ll eventually dive into the foster care posts as well!
