Inspiration

When I restarted this blog back in July, and began to revamp its look and content, I was convinced that there would not be enough time to update it more than 1-3 times a month until 2014 when I left my job.  I ended up getting in at least 3 posts a week every month past July, which really surprised me!

It turns out that this blog has become one of the main focuses that keeps me going.  After an epically long stressful day at work, I can come here and remind myself that there is so much more to life than the soul-eating grind.

Focusing on the future, and journaling about all the amazing things in life (or that will be in it soon), has really helped keep me steady over the last few months, and I know I can lean on it to help get me through the next few months until freedom.  Once I've "retired," finding new topics to share will keep me energized about my new role as an aspiring domestic goddess.

Here is a photo of some other things that make me feel inspired:

Ryan, Stormy, and Nature.

In the first 2.5 months, this blog ended up getting far more traffic than the other two blogs combined (which contained over a year of posts), probably because I combined all the concepts into one.  It certainly seems that all the aspects of life... gardening, real-life stuff and family, saving money, and teaching myself domestic goddessry... well, they are too interconnected to keep in separate blogs.

Despite the lack of people posting on the blog (which you are more than welcome to do!), I am getting a lot of personal contact and discussion about the topics here, and you guys are also a huge source of inspiration.

There is not much to this post, but I just wanted to say thank you for reading.
