• I learned that taking a break from blogging made me happier (so I’m just back to share what I learned), for now.
• Time away enriched other areas of my life in ways that evened everything out, so I will do this more often, potentially by making my blog private again.
• I love the WP community and have missed each and everyone who’s company I have enjoyed throughout the years. Looking forward to visiting you soon!
• The process and dynamic of change is something that I consider fun. I’m curious how I will reinvent this new blog that I will create.
• The rest of my life does not take a break, and I have been deliciously enjoying what has shown up. Somedays have been better than others, but overall, it’s been the best time.
• Visiting with family has been so lovely – and it was so nice to focus on my visits with them without maintaining an “online” energy, and being this digital persona.
• Blogging can be whatever I make it. I’ve been blogging for over 8 years; “Fiestaestrellas.com” will be changing form and format in a year or two from now.
• This blog space will gain new life by 2021, potentially by the end of 2020.
• Reading for pleasure is more pleasurable when I am more-so “offline,” and not creating and sharing content. I have so many other reasons that I use my computer, so it means more time away from my computer.
• There are times in life when I want to widen my community and increase my outreach, and other times when I want to focus on enriching the foundation in my life and nurture that foundation, making new discoveries here. I’m still in the place of enriching my foundation: my “why?”
