It’s been 10 years since I last wrote a blog post, I have over 150 drafts in my draft folder, never finishing a thought, never posting again. The reason why I stopped was simple, hosting a blog cost too much, what was once free now required a payment, Im old school, the internet should be free but I get it, everyone gotta make buck.

With my recent birthday passing, I realized the last time I wrote a blog was when I turned 30. Here I am now 40, and I decided I would gift myself a blog to write again.

With life changing dramatically for me in my 30s. I am no longer bored, wondering the earth, or searching for purpose, my current purpose is simple, keep my children alive, and feeding my family. As I make everyone a peanut butter sandwich, my heart screams, “I must create, I must inspire others!”

I have no real strategy, I just know its time for me to write again, its calling me. So here I am, digging up the weeds of this blog, and preparing the soil. Here is my seed, let’s see what grows.

    Hi Monica,
    I started my blog at around the same year as you. Mine has been deleted after some (long) absence. So, I’m quite surprised and glad of your return! Reading a blog is quite different from other social media platforms. It brings me back a lot of memories too!
    Thanks Monica and have fun keeping your blog. That’s important to enjoy what you do!

    -TheLastSwallow- My old blog name that doesn’t exist anymore!;-)

    1. Wow really interesting to hear from another blogger and reader! Yes for some reason blogging has died, I hope to rekindle some magic that blogging use to give, I really miss it. So true about social media, it lacks what blogging does so well, allows you to really focus in.
