Taking A Break



I didn't know I was going to do this until yesterday. Yesterday was a really bad day after a string of really bad days and I've finally been forced to admit that I need a break. There is a lot on my plate right now, a lot. I have been ignoring a good chunk of it and putting energy into other things so that I can continue to ignore it. But I'm putting my hands up and refusing to continue down this road. It is time for me to simplify life as much as possible. I find a lot of joy and fulfillment from running this site, but the truth is that it's not the most important thing and it shouldn't be at the top of my list. So I'm taking a break. It might be for a few weeks or it might be for a few months. I just need to get in a better place and keep the things that matter most closest to me. If you would like to get in touch with me, you can always email. Thank you all for your kind words. I'll be back later.

I hope you do come back, at your own pace of course. Blogging can be draining and it really shouldn't if it's not a career thing. You, your pictures and your thoughts are always beautiful. If I'm ever in Texas I know who I would like to do my family portraits. :)

It takes a lot for us women to admit we need a break. Kudos to you for stepping up :) However long it is, I hope it provides you some time to enjoy other things more.

It's always good to keep priorities in order. I hope you find your perfect balance (If that's even possible haha) and enjoy your summer weeks off from blogging. You will be missed. :)
