I know it's been about a month since I've written a blog post, and closer to two months since I have written consistently. But, I wanted to hop on and give some updates about what I've been up to and why I've been a little MIA.
I officially started the Wayfaring Jessica brand early this year and it has gone through a lot of growth and changes, just as I have. I have meandered my way through and around different ideas trying to find the most fitting pieces of myself for this brand. I also was severely overworking myself, and after 7 months of hardcore work I was extremely burnt out. Hence the blogging drop off. I have a history or working too hard on something until I am burned out, instead of taking things at a slower albeit more sustainable pace for myself. I also tend to think I have to 'do it all' or else I'm failing. I took some time away and am now sifting through every action I take and making sure it fills me up just as much as I hope it does to those I am serving. This is probably one of my biggest lessons from this past year. Not looking at everyone else and what they are doing, how they are doing it, but instead following my own energy. I've gone around the sun 29 times and I am coming more fully into my own. Knowing more of what does and does not work for me. Making lists and following my energy of when I can get them done. But I also need to remember to focus on what is most important. My mental and physical health, my writing and creativity, my rest, and my adventurous spirit. With this in mind I will be bringing my blog back at a pace that I can keep up with. With me keeping my priorities straight and not letting them become unbalanced. I will be making time for rest, giving myself grace on busy days when what I wanted to get done simply couldn't, and putting my creativity at the forefront of my responsibilities. I am hoping to finish the first draft of my current novel by the end of the year. I also would like to finish the first draft of my short story (the first of many in that series) by the end of the year. I am also making sure to give myself space and time to hike and explore the nature that surrounds me. I thank you for your patience and I hope you take this as a sign to follow your energy. To put yourself and your own dreams above the ones that others expect you to have. To follow the flow of your life and honor your unique life path. Much Love, Jessica Marie
