Welcome to Blogtober … And Back to Blogging

For the past year, blogging has taken a backseat to everything. Sometimes that happens. Life gets crazy and you forget the things you love, whether it’s a hobby or something else. Blame it on the overtime, the therapy, and health issues. We can even blame it on life. But the amount of posts that I produce every single month has made me feel depressed. This is partially because I am so overwhelmed, so tired that I can’t have my creative juices flow because my energy is used elsewhere.

Blogging has been my love and passion since 2010. The fact that it’s 2026 and I’m still going — and won a few awards on the way is amazing. But I miss it. I miss writing posts that people love. I love writing posts.

So here we are on October 1. Blogtober 2026. I’ve decided to participate as much as possible. I don’t know what that looks like. All I know is that I need to write and want to write more then a few posts per month.

Hopefully you’ll be along for the ride, too.
