After a whirlwind season of exciting client work and creative projects, I’m finally returning to My Life Journal—with a fresh focus on wellness, cats, beauty, and travel.
Have you ever been so wrapped up in life, work, and endless to-do lists that weeks—or even months—fly by before you realise how long it’s been since you checked in with yourself? That’s exactly what happened to me. One moment, I was diving into exciting new client work and passion projects, and the next, I found myself staring at my blog, wondering where the time had gone.
Life got busy, my own brand took a back seat, and here I am now—reconnecting with this creative space and recommitting to the journey that started it all.
There’s a certain irony in helping other people build their brands and share their stories while unintentionally putting your own on hold. That’s where I’ve been—deep in the trenches of creativity, strategy, and brand building for clients who I absolutely adore. I’ve been blessed with new opportunities, collaborations, and projects that have kept me buzzing with energy (and often working late into the night). But somewhere along the way, My Life Journal, this little space that means so much to me, got a little quiet.
To be honest, I didn’t even notice how much time had passed at first. Days turned into weeks, and before I knew it, my personal content calendar was gathering dust. It wasn’t intentional—it never is. I kept telling myself I’d get back to writing, that I’d post “tomorrow” or “next week,” but those days never came. And I started to wonder… does anyone else do this? When life gets busy, do your personal passions take a back seat too?
This isn’t a guilt trip. It’s simply real life.
In this season of busyness, I’ve learned so much about myself, my workflow, and the importance of maintaining creative outlets for me. As fulfilling as client work is, there’s something uniquely grounding about returning to your own space—your words, your thoughts, your voice.
So I’m back. And this time, I’m making a conscious effort to show up here regularly. Not just when inspiration strikes or when I have “time,” but because this blog is a part of me. It’s where I share the moments, the musings, and the little things that make life beautifully imperfect.
Going forward, you can expect more of what I truly love: lifestyle inspiration with a strong focus on wellness (both mental and physical), a healthy dose of feline charm from my beloved cats (because let’s be real—they run the house), beauty discoveries that make me feel like my best self, and a sprinkle of travel when the wanderlust kicks in.
I want My Life Journal to reflect the rhythm of my life—slow and soulful when needed, energetic and playful when inspired. This blog isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. It’s about honouring the ebbs and flows, the quiet spells, and the full-speed-ahead weeks.
So here’s to new beginnings and renewed intentions.
If you’ve found yourself in a similar place—overwhelmed, overcommitted, or just swept up in the everyday—know that you’re not alone. It’s okay to pause. It’s okay to start again. And it’s definitely okay to shift your focus back to the things that light you up.
I’d love to hear from you—what are you refocusing on right now? Have you had a similar experience where life took over, and your creative pursuits had to wait? Let’s share the real stuff—the messy, beautiful balance of living life while still holding space for ourselves.
Thanks for being here and for sticking around, even during the quieter moments. I can’t wait to take you along with me on this next chapter—cats, candles, carry-ons, and all.
Until next time.
