New Goals

I’ve been mulling over restarting my blog with a new theme. It’s funny, there have been times in my life over the last five years where I have felt way too drained to write. Generally speaking those times corresponded to jobs that sucked all my energy, made me feel creatively tapped out, and kind of drained me of my will to do something independently creative.

You can actually see that a lot in my bullet journals. When I was in jobs that I liked that gave me a lot of freedom and made me happy, it’s full of bright and colorful drawings. In those jobs that made me feel tapped out, everything is way more muted and utilitarian.

Anyway…the point is that that I am restarting and rebranding this blog. The content is all good, but I think it needs a new look. And if I am being totally honest, it bothers me that my Twitter and Instagram handles are coordinated and this blog has just been sitting here languishing and seeming weirdly out of place.

So, that’s why we’re going with Abby from CLE.

I had been thinking about restarting this for about 6 months now, but I just couldn’t find the energy to do it. Now I have found that and writing like this again makes me feel so much more me.

Let’s also be honest, I think I have a lot more to talk about now. Especially after the whole plan a wedding, get married, take a honeymoon, find a new job, and move to a new city thing. Content for the win.

In light of that, I am going to make a promise to myself that I am going to write at least twice a week in 2019. It helps me stay tethered to my life a little bit and honestly, writing helps me clear space out in my head.

I’m excited that I am excited about writing like this again. It’s been a minute and it will be good to get back to it.

Anyway, stay tuned. More to come. :)
