Quick update on my life

This is the longest I’ve gone without blogging. And as much as I don’t want to start each new post with, “sorry I haven’t blogged in a long time, but…” I do feel like I owe my readers some explanation. I’ve found myself really busy lately, lacking not only the time for blogging, but also the time for the actual activities that I like to blog about (cooking, thrifting, crafting, and even mindfulness practice/reflection.) There are a few reasons for this. One is that work has been busy lately, and I have had to work late at night at least one day a week – sometimes two. I have also started running a part-time consulting business. For the last year or more I have had at least one little side-project running, but lately it’s kind of blossomed. This has happened organically, as I have had numerous requests from friends and former colleagues, which has culminated in having as many as four clients as once.  I also spend one night a week doing yoga, and the better part of my Sundays or Saturdays climbing. And then there is that little secret I’ve been keeping from my readers… that I have a boyfriend, who I’ve been seeing for the last 7 months. He is busy too, lives in a different city than I, and so we like to spend a good part of our weekends together, since most weeknights we don’t get a chance.

I’ve had this weekend free though (the boyfriend is in Europe) and I’ve been making time to do some of the things that I quietly enjoy, including blogging. So if you don’t subscribe to the blog, please check back regularly as I have more posts scheduled. Thanks for continuing to read!
