A few months ago, I was struggling to find anything to write about. This week, I wrote five blog posts. So, what changed?
I finally found a few topics I actually enjoy writing and posting about and the subject-matter of which is pretty top of mind for us: recipes and zero-waste. While I never, in my wildest dreams, thought I would be someone who would be posting recipes regularly (especially not ones I’ve actually tried), I actually really enoy sharing what we’ve tried in our kitchen. It helps that I have a wonderful cooking partner in my husband (who, let’s be honest, does most of the work). We’re also of the same mind in regards to minimizing our waste and possessions which not only helps us be successful, but also provides for writing inspiration.
I’ll certainly continue to explore other topics for my blog but, currently, I’m satisifed with the direction and how it’s not only providing a writing outlet but is truly reflecting my trajectory of life.
