I’ve been thinking about this for a while now—about writing again, sharing again. It feels a little strange, like picking up a book I’ve left open for too long, the pages still waiting for me to return. But here I am, ready to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and let the words flow.
Life has a way of pulling you in so many directions, doesn’t it? Sometimes you’re caught up in the whirlwind of it all—work, family, growth, healing. Other times, it’s quieter, like a still morning after a storm, and you realize you’ve been holding your breath. That’s where I’ve been for a while now, in that quiet space, just breathing, reflecting, living.
But something has been stirring inside me. A need to connect again, to share pieces of this journey, not just for others but for myself. Writing has always been a way for me to make sense of things, to unpack the chaos and find the beauty in it all. And there has been so much beauty, even in the hard moments. Especially in the hard moments.
I’ve learned that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth sharing. It’s the messy, imperfect bits that often resonate the most. And goodness, has it been messy. But in the mess, there’s been growth. There’s been love and laughter and tears and a lot of figuring things out as I go. And I think that’s what I want to share—not a polished highlight reel but the real, raw, honest bits of this life I’m living.
So, here I am, starting again. No grand promises or lofty goals, just a commitment to show up. To write when the words come and to be okay with silence when they don’t. To share my heart, my thoughts, and my stories, however small or big they might seem.
Thank you for being here, for reading, for being a part of this journey with me. I hope you’ll stick around as I find my way back to sharing, to connecting, to being open.
Starting Again
Love always, Monica
