I started this blog as a way to express myself. I also wanted to reach out to people about real life stuff who might be struggling with similar issues so they know they're not alone. From day one, it was my intention to be real and raw. I think I've done a pretty good job at that - sharing the hardest things with vulnerability and honesty. I also think that at times I've shared things that a lot of people wouldn't because they are so personal, but again, I write because it is how I express myself. It is how I celebrate and explore and process life.
This blogging experience is such a journey. I have had so many people tell me how much they enjoy reading it, how much they appreciate the realness, and how it helps knowing they aren't the only ones going through hard stuff. I have never looked for validation with my blog, but it brings me so much joy knowing that I have accomplished one of the things I wanted to do - to help people. And not only that, the love and support I've received along the way has been humbling and made my heart full.
I am, however, at a point in this journey where I am starting to receive the opposite feedback. That the material I'm posting is too much, both about myself and my husband, and that certain information can be harmful. My husband has always supported this creative outlet of mine. He still does. But there are other factors now that influence this.
It is with a heavy heart that I must say my writing will no longer contain personal information, the stuff that I felt was the backbone of this blog. I will still post things about food, fitness and books - other things I love writing about and sharing. But I have removed all personal posts and information.
My passion for helping people will never go away. Please DM me on Instagram if you're going through something and need to reach out to someone and talk. You can find me at @peachanero
Thank you for following me along this journey.
