Hello!
Recently, (as in, the last several months) I have been thinking about how much I love writing and how much I miss blogging. A few things have held me back... my fear of sharing parts of my life, the opinion of others and (this is the big one) having a newborn that didn't allow a lot of time to do anything other than take care of her, clean, take care of me and sleep. Fortunately, I don't have the capacity to care too much about other people's opinions at this point in my life and we are finally finding a place of normalcy in the Buckus household with an (almost) 5-month-old! So... write, I shall!
I finally dusted off the old blog and did some reminiscing and I was surprised to see that I have had this space for 10 years. I haven't written much in the last 3 of them, but still! Here is a blog from just over 10 years ago and while it's short and sweet it was nice to look back on. Not much has changed either which is, in a sense, comforting.
Here are some of my all-time favorite blog posts in case you want to reminisce too, or just to browse around.
I'm excited to be back at this and I hope I can stay motivated to continue writing. It is so good for me, and I have always felt a push to write and share. I even have a few ideas for upcoming posts including a 2023 recap that I'm eager to send off into the world.
For now, though I leave with this re-introduction to my corner of the internet. Talk soon!
