...And we're back to our regular programming! Wow, did I need that break. It may not look like much has changed, but I spent hours on the back-end of my sites last week, cleaning things up and getting organized...
It was weird not blogging, though. It's been so long since I took an entire week off (have I ever?) that I kept forgetting--something would happen and I would think, "Oh, I should blog about that tomorrow!," or, I would make a note to include something in SJOTW before remembering that I wouldn't be posting it on Friday--I had no idea what a BIG part of my life this blog has become until I didn't post for a week! Thanks for making this space so special. Also, while working on making changes to the blog, I realized that a lot of the tweaks that I made to my site(s) are symbolic on a bigger level--they're changes that I've made/have been hoping to make in real life, that are bubbling over to my blog, as well. Here are a few examples:
See what I mean? Just a few ways my site mirrors my life ;) Do you have a site that doesn't reflect your current state of being? If so, I would think about changing it...it feels good to have things in harmony. Also, here are a few changes that I'm making to the blog in order to make my life a little less insane:
What do you think? Feel free to post your feedback re: these changes to comments, if you have any. And what are your thoughts on the new (well, slightly tweaked) look? I hope you like it! Thanks for your patience while I worked last week, everyone. You're the bestest! 8/11/2014 02:54:57 am
Congratulations! The new site is great!! I love it and it's easy to navigate. I'm still in the midst of designing my blog and so I totally understand what your past week has been like. The hard work was completely worth it. I love that it is clearly still you and your brand but just more straightforward, connected and simple. Great job!

Thanks, Elizabeth! That means so much coming from someone who is in the middle of the same process! Good luck with your redesign...

I hadn't noticed how out of place your old photos were (still love them, by the way!), but now that you replaced them with the new beachy ones, I totally get what you are saying. They are so much more telling of your life now. Nice work with the blog re-vamp. Love!
