Did you guys hear that blogging is back? I feel like this is something the ‘OGs’ {dinosaurs?} like me will share because it sounds exciting. For me, it never really went away, so the entire concept feels a little strange. I’ve been here, trudging along in the background all these years while running our business locally, but what I shared definitely shifted. I lost a little of that original spark in the nuances of everyday life.
Just as interiors are seeing a return to a love of vintage finds with meaning, I think people are generally A.I.- and social media-fatigued by falsely inflated vanity numbers and are searching for authenticity. Honestly? I long for the days of simple connection, when I didn’t feel like I had to dance in front of a screen, and I know I’m not the only one.
Personally, I’m in a weird place in life: happily embracing the season while adjusting to the nuances of being an almost-empty nester, finding a shift in what I enjoy… and I’m ready to write again. I crave it. We’ve had quite a few pivots in the past year, and between a few mild health struggles and some big life changes, I’ve spent a lot of time mourning the nostalgia of a beautiful life season for us. I’m crawling out of the other side to find a new version of my life I actually kind of like, and embrace the present. It feels like dusting off the cobwebs and settling in next to an old friend.
I think it starts with sharing the little things. I’m here with this new little occasional series. I’ve found what’s always true: life is in the happy little sparks along the way. A few life updates and some of my current faves: here are a few things I’m loving, from the silly to the important. Happy Little Sparks.
