If you've read reLYME.com before, it should come as no surprise to you that I, yet again, have claimed that I would relaunch my blog, only to let this fervor die just shy of a week. I have also written posts in penance for my failure to post. So, I will do neither right now. All I will say is that my reLYME.com domain is finally mine and I will offer what I have been up to lately:
1. Work and grad school--my schedule is busier now so finding time in between grading papers or writing them for class, is tricky. Sometimes, when I have free time, the last thing I want to do is anything that feels like work. And for a while there, that's exactly what blogging felt like to me. I lost the fun of it, but now, I miss it...
2. Traveling to Africa--I spent part of my summer in Africa, Malawi to be exact, working in villages, offering professional development to teachers at a school, and even teaching a high school class. Needless to say, there are no words for what I saw, what I lived. Nothing else could quite compare. But, it was wonderful, and I can't wait to go back.
3. General business--sewing, reading, writing, farmers' market visiting, trying to enjoy life and enjoy people as much as possible. Forming and forging new relationships and building new opportunities.
I have made a lot of decisions in the last 3.5 years since I started this blog. Some were good, some were terribly bad, and some were horrendously ugly. I want to enjoy blogging again. Not for the purpose of raising my fashion street cred (because you would not believe the looks of shock I get when someone hears I used to run "a little fashion blog"), nor for the feeling of gravitas that comes with saying, "I have to blog about this later...oh yes, I run a blog." If nobody ever reads this, it's fine. I am going to post about whatever I post about whenever I feel like it. And that's pretty much where this stands.
