Embracing Vulnerability: My Blog Comeback Story

Well, look who finally showed up.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might have assumed I packed my bags, changed my name, and moved to a remote island with no Wi-Fi. It has been so long since my last post that I’m pretty sure my blogging platform required a fingerprint scan, a blood sample, and a three-factor authentication code just to let me back into my own dashboard.

I’d love to give you a glamorous, thrilling excuse for my disappearing act. I’d love to tell you I was busy training for a marathon, writing a New York Times bestseller, or learning how to sourdough like a professional baker.

But the truth? Life just happened. The kind of life that pulls you away from your laptop, sweeps you up in the daily grind, and leaves you looking at a blank screen thinking, “I don’t even know what day it is, let alone what I should write.”

For a while, my draft folder became a digital graveyard of half-baked ideas. Every time I thought about blogging, guilt would tap me on the shoulder: “You’ve been gone too long. It’s going to be awkward when you go back. What if everyone forgot you exist?” (Standard overthinker logic, right?)

But here’s the thing about a true calling: it doesn’t just evaporate because you took a massive intermission.

Lately, God has been stirring things in my heart that I just can’t keep to myself anymore. This space has never been about hitting weekly algorithms or getting clicks and likes. It’s about connection. It’s about sitting across the virtual kitchen table from you, messy hair and all, and saying, “Me too. You are not alone in this.” It’s about being obedient.

Stepping back into this digital living room feels a little scary. I missed the vulnerability of sharing real-life stories. I missed the encouragement that flows back and forth in the comments, and I realized that keeping the lessons I am learning cooped up in my head wasn’t doing anyone any good. But on the other hand, do I really want to open up and be vulnerable again? It was kinda nice for a while, hiding in the shadows! But God has said my break and my season of isolation are over, and I need to write again.

So, I am officially brushing off the cobwebs, vacuuming the dust bunnies out of this corner of the internet, and making a comeback. No promises of a perfect schedule—let’s be real, life is still messy—but I promise to be here and to be real.

Thank you for still being here, for your patience, and for remembering who I am……Well, I hope you do anyway!
So, grab your favourite mug, get cozy, and let’s catch up. I have a lot of stories to tell….
