Where do I start…. 🙈

I think I’ll start with the words I posted in a Donna Ashworth journalling group this morning.

*********************************************

I feel the need to put “pen to paper” this morning to get something out of me. It’s a long one 🙈

For nearly 6 years now I have been The Rambling Sloth and shared my daily struggles with life with anxiety (and the deep depression that hit as a result).

It morphed into my love of photography and travels…. But still I was driven to share my story every single day.

Ooooh tears are forming here so I know I’m getting to the truth…. Since the end of the year of the snake I no longer feel like that person. I have changed. Writing the blog feels like a chore, a stressor to add to my already busy life.

I don’t think I’m ready to stop it completely…. I feel like I owe it to the lovely women who supported me all the way through. I know I’m answering my own question as the tears are blurring my eyes. The sloth helped me get to where I am today. When I had 3 days off every weekend to do nothing else but think about what I was writing that night. Joyfully gathering content I was keen to share.

Now Her Travel Circle is growing faster than I could ever imagine. I’ve had 3 successful hostings in my home and made lifelong friends. My phone is buzzing all day every day with people asking questions and wanting to join. This doesn’t feel like work, it’s my “thing” finally happening.

I feel alive. Maybe the sloth isn’t over but just needs a rest for now until I find its way….

Something big is shifting……. Wow.

*********************************************

So there it is…..

I feel a sense of relief that I’ve finally voiced that to myself.

I’m working 4 days a week and I come home and work on Her Travel Circle all night.

It doesn’t feel like work, it makes me feel alive with excitement although, you know me…. Honestly shattered at the same time but it is what it is just now.

This is not goodbye.

I don’t really know what it is for now but it’s the pressure off and that’s the main thing.

I still remember the day The Windsor Waffle announce her last blog and I was so shocked. I still miss her blog.

Thank you all for your support and kind words over these last 6 years. Writing this blog has helped heal me, bit by bit every day.

So what please bear with me just now… follow my socials on Her Travel Circle if you’re interested.

Let’s see where The Rambling Sloth finds herself next….

It’s also fitting that I hit 20k followers on Instagram today! Such an amazing achievement. I owe a lot of that to a post that Kendall did when she was her but I’ve got one of my own going crazy just how. It’s up at 155K views. 🔥🔥

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
