Life is unpredictable and its demands come in ebbs and flows…
My life is incredibly demanding right now. I’m working 4 jobs and the 5th one, this blog, whilst my favorite, is the least profitable….making it now more of a hobby/therapy and less of a “job”. And then there’s my roles as a mother and a wife and a human being; and those roles are no less demanding than the 4 I clock-in for.
I started this blog a year and a half ago and promised myself I’d keep it going for at least a year. And for a year and a half, I have posted every week. Last week, I missed my first post. And this week, I’ve again got nothing prepared.
I adore being able to write freely, of my own subject matter and to share my thoughts with you my followers…and the world. To date, lifelibertyandlibations.com has had 4,957 views and has been read by people in 43 different countries. How cool is that?!
But in order to remain insightful and therapeutic in my approach, I can’t just start cranking out crap just to get a post up. Nor can I extend myself beyond my limits.
So, please be patient with me…weekly posts are likely not to happen right now. But as I have time and am inspired, I will continue to post. The Sunday edition is on a bit of a hold…But writing is still my greatest therapeutic outlet and a talent and passion I intend to continue to pursue, as life and time allows.
Thanks for following, for reading, for connecting…as a fellow human just trying to keep my head above the water and navigate this crazy thing we call Life.

I’m grateful for this post especially as I look forward to seeing your posts and in the absence of knowing, may have worried if you stopped w “seemingly “ no reason.
Of course any forced prose would seem seem insufficient to a dedicated writer and I understand that too.
Moreover, as nurses we’ve all been lectured about “care for the caretaker “ but still find it harder advice to heed ourselves than direct our patients. Good to see you are reflecting on that one too.
Best wishes in your juggling and balancing. I’ll look forward to reading your next act whenever it’s available
Hugs
and that is ok. Write when you can not because you must.
