After a 9 month blogging break, I think it’s time… to come back.

I miss the sense of sharing just as much as I miss the act of writing. I miss photographing my life and the hours of editing that follow. I miss Pinterest and Tumblr and Polyvore and blogs. I miss finding my favorite things and that feeling of wanting, needing to show you, all, right now.

My reasons for taking a personal hiatus were well intended. Every ounce of my being was aching for more time. Time that already existed, but had simply been misused. I needed time back in my life – time for me, my relationships, my job. I needed back the time that I, for years, had chosen to dedicate to sharing (and more likely over sharing) online.

So I pushed paused and stepped away. Stepped back in to the components of my life that felt like they were just about, almost of reach. My own life felt like it was out of reach. Relationships were wearing down, thinning on all sides, pieces were falling apart and drifting away. Some for the better, others desperately needed to be tended.

I gave myself back time, and learned that time is life changer. Literally. In 9 months relationships can end, new ones can begin. Friendships can be forgotten while others are restored. Positions on life that for years held strong can change, and even your most grounded beliefs can be questioned.

I can’t wait to share this all, people.
