This May is will be the one year anniversary of this blog. It is amazing how much can change in a year! I had just graduated with my MA and for the first time in years, I would not be attending classes or writing papers! I so enjoyed reading certain blogs about other mama's, women living life, being creative...it had always been a daydream, but I had hoped that maybe I could experience some of that success myself by starting a blog of my own.
Ok, here it is, I had suffered from a case of "soulemama envy". That's right, I'll admitt it. What mama would not like to be able to stay home, crafting, writing and raising her family? I am so proud of the work that I managed to put together for this blog...but toward the end, that was kind of what life became, crafting for the blog. I can only shake my head and laugh as I remember yelling to the kids "stop what you're doing...hold it, hold it...", so that I could run inside to get my camera! Not only was this way of living unsustainable, but it was fictitious.
I mentioned before that the universe always manages to give me signs that will point me where I need to be. Three months ago when I all but abandoned the blog and the posters that I had come to love, I did not write a goodbye note. That was not the time...
Last week when I finally posted {after many attempts at writing, then pressing the delete button}, I was happy with my post, but things had changed. I now had three children and life was different...I was different. Perhaps it was coincidence, or the universe showing me the way yet again, but another fellow blogger was simultaneously posting very similar words to what I had been feeling. I too felt kind of stuck and sensed that it was time to move on.
I am beginging a new blog. http://monkednfifed.blogspot.com Unlike My Sweet Babu, there is no daydream of a book being published, an Etsy shop where I hope I might strike it rich, or any other big plans for that matter. This blog will be non fiction. It will be optimistic, but also realistic. It will be fun and creative...and I am so looking foward to embarking on this new journey! I wholeheartedly hope that I will have the pleasure of hearing from you in this new space.
