Momma Needed A Minute
I thought this would be tough…
“There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth… not going all the way, and not starting.”
Remembering what it was like to run back to my laptop anytime he did something “post-worthy.” Simply allowing my fingers to rest across the keys; each fingertip prancing across the keyboard as the memories flowed. Would it come as natural to me as it once did? There was only one way to find out…
I think what was paramount to me in making my return, was ensure that I resumed with the same intent that I started the blog. My “why” has always been to share my journey. I have always intended to capture the journey in my absolute favorite medium. I wanted it to be personal … but not too personal. I wanted to share without oversharing. Ultimately, I wanted to establish a sense of community with the blog. I think I had done that. Through blogging and using instagram as a means of staying connected to moms who were and weren't reading, yet engaging with me, that was it. That was my way of establishing and maintaining community. I loved it when I wrote a post that resonated with another mom or three. I loved the encouragement that I received to keep going. It gradually stopped as the frequency of the posts slowed down. The defining moment that forced me to halt completely was necessary. I always knew I’d make a comeback because writing really is my thing. So much has been happening with my not so little baby that I love capturing in photo form, yet, nothing compares to the written form. This is the all consuming point of reflection that I will be able to look back on and relive the moments through my words. If you’re still here and still reading, thank you and welcome back!
