We are halfway through the week, my lovely readers. How has it been going for you? It’s been a rough one for me — but I’m managing as best I can. I’ve gotten behind on my blog comments and social media posting this week — sorry. In the spirit of self-preservation, I am allowing myself a long weekend, starting today. I have never deviated from my regular posting schedule since I started blogging more than two years ago. But this week has taken a lot out of me, and rather than write half-hearted posts (which, let’s be honest, are no fun to read), I’ve decided to stay true to myself, this blog, and you — my readers.
I’ll be catching up over the next couple of days on some “blog-keeping” (a blogger’s version of housekeeping), and making time for rest and relaxation. I will be back to my regular daily posting schedule on Monday, May 9th!
Hope you all have a great rest of the week and weekend!
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had a rough week! Taking time for yourself is definitely important!!

Sometimes, we need to step back and take a little break, especially in the world of professional blogging, it can get SO overwhelming! Enjoy your time of rest and I hope you feel relaxed and refreshed come Monday, beautiful!

Thanks, Jalisa! I think I forgot how important taking time for myself is. I’m always on the run, and it feels nice to take it at a slower pace for a few days. I’ll definitely be on my game come Monday!
I completely understand you, its so important to take time for yourself to relax and recharge your batteries. I hope you feel better. xo, Emily

Thanks, Emily! This spring has been a busy one for me. So it feels good to just take a break.
You totally deserve a break. Don’t be too hard on yourself, rest up, and I hope you enjoy a relaxing ‘me time’ weekend.

Keeping up with blogging can be so hard, I am so amazed you have kept to a schedule for 2 years!! I am constantly struggling with getting everything done I want done – good for you to take some ‘me’ time!!

Thanks, Colleen! I love creating content — and I think that love has definitely helped me stick to my blogging schedule. But I’m learning that it’s okay to take a break and have some “me” time every now and then.
It’s always fine to take a break! I hope you feel better after it 🙂
