Why I Had Taken a Break from Blogging
I feel like I owe you all an explanation. I said in my Blue Moon Cinnamon Horchata Ale Bread Pudding recipe post that I would inform y’all on what’s been going on and why I stepped away from blogging for several months. I thought after I wrote that post I was going to type up this post and publish it the next week, but it wasn’t that simple for me.
I’m still learning just how to be transparent to all of y’all while also keeping some things private and close to my heart. What sense does it make for me to try to build a personal brand to authentically connect with readers and then feel like I can’t really share my life with them?

My mind is a lot stronger than my body and I can’t lie and say that it doesn’t bother my state of mind on most days. I have to fight against the pain that I feel everyday and try not to complain about it unless it’s completely unbearable at that moment. It can take a good thirty minutes to an hour to get out of bed when I wake up because my limbs might be temporarily paralyzed or my heart is tachycardic and there’s nothing I can do about it. But once I get myself together after I wake up, I say a prayer, think positive thoughts and go on about my day!
Because my days are so unpredictable, I literally have to take one day at a time. Planning upcoming days can seem like an impossible feat because I never know how my body will respond. Most bloggers are great at planning their blog schedules ahead of time and sticking to it. To be honest, I started to develop blogger envy because I would read posts about how well other bloggers could stick to their schedule and because of their consistency, their following grew exponentially. I was struggling with growing my following on social networks because I couldn’t be as consistent as them. That destroyed my inner peace and I never should of let that happen because most of those bloggers don’t face the same challenges as me and I shouldn’t have been comparing my grass to anyone else’s, to begin with!
