On a Personal Note

Today’s post is one that I never thought I would write, and it’s hard to know where to begin in sharing such a personal life update but to just say it: in the last year, I got a divorce. I’ve contemplated whether or not to share this here for quite a while- it’s something I’ve really wrestled with. I am a very private person, but so many things about my life are different now, most notably in regards to the blog, my home. The home I spent 8 years working on, that I loved very much and shared with you all, is no longer my home. I miss it a lot. I am very proud of what I accomplished, and that I took something and made it beautiful.

The reason I decided to share this update with everyone is that everything in my life is different now, and the the blog will continue to be a reflection of my life. Now that I have made it through the first year and started to put my life back together, I feel like I finally have the energy and focus to bring this blog into the next season of it’s life too.

The last year has been heartbreaking to say the least, and it was preceded by several deeply and irrevocably painful years before that. This blog has always brought me so much joy- it’s something I genuinely love doing- so I’m thrilled to be able to focus on it again.

My message to everyone on here is: you never know what somebody is really going through. Reach out to your friends - check on them, ask them how they really are. I wouldn’t have made it through the last year without my close friends and my family.
