I have to confess something to you all. I’m tired. Like, really tired. There’s just so much going on and on top of all that, we have some life decisions to make. I just can’t stay on top of it all. I don’t even want to write. Which is odd as blogging is something I love to do.
There is so much more involved with blogging than just writing. I spend a lot of time on social media, promoting, etc. I just don’t want to do it anymore. It’s a lot of work for very little return and I’m worn out. I’m starting to consider closing my Etsy shop because I just don’t have the energy for that either. Both the shop and the blog have become a chore I don’t want to do instead of a fun job like they used to be. I feel like I’m spending so much time working, I’m missing out on life and my daughter.
I’m hoping a couple weeks to a month off will help me rest, reassess, and come back fresh and ready to go. But the answer might be to stop blogging all together or to back it down a bit. I will be spending a lot of time in thought and prayer as decisions need to be made. If you would like to pray for me during this time, I would really appreciate it.

Julie, I hope you are able to get the rest that you need! Blogging is no fun when it becomes a chore. My husband and I had a conversation about it recently because I was stressing about it. He simply replied, “Blog when you want to. Don’t blog when you don’t want to. Your job right now is being a mommy.” It was like a burden was lifted! Enjoy your time off, saying a prayer for you now!

Thanks. I’m hoping taking the next few, very busy, weeks off will help me think clearly again.
