Hello Faithful Readership,

Writing is in my blood and is integral to my personality and identity. With that said, I am feel the need to take a step back from blogging for the remainder of the year for several reasons.

I have some hurt I need to work through; some flourishing friendships I want to cultivate more; an abundance of visitors coming; an eagerly anticipated visit from my mom that I want to savor; and of course, the treasured holiday season to prepare for and enjoy. I wish to be present for all of this in order to glean and hear and grow in all the ways God wants me to.

I have a feeling that I will have more words and thoughts to exchange with you in the new year and I may hop on here (for sure for the next birthday child) a time or two before then. In the meantime, please know I care about all who read this and I want to be back but I also need to pause for a season.

Thank you for understanding and for your prayers.
