Happy April,

Here is the first blog of the month and the last for this month (no, this is not an April Fool’s joke).

This is me being transparent with you as to why I am taking a month off of posting to this blog space, so that you are not wondering why no additional posts (if you are wondering) will be making the rounds this month (and perhaps thinking that I ghosted this space).

I don’t actually think anyone will mind, but I remember reading that people would read blogs, see how often the blogger posted and would keep reading if the content was consistent (makes sense), but would stop reading if the blog posts suddenly stopped because they thought the blogger ghosted (which is not the case here).

I am not going to lie, the blogs are not stopping, but for this month THEY ARE and the reason is because (even with content ready to go),it’s been about six months on the blog of Bella Kate 22…… and I have a lot to look at and a lot to learn from.

Other reasons include; that I live in America and have been living through news, news and more news for the past five years and for the first time, I haven’t had to find things out via “BREAKING NEWS” and via TWITTER rants that made the news and let me tell you……..EXHAUSTING as it was, that chapter is finally over. Praise God.

The other reason, is that we are living in the second year of a global pandemic and I have had a lot to process in terms of like, everything……. like everyone else also living through this time; while my normal response to chaos was (past tense) to keep going and to plow ahead (while I still do this, there is a time and a place for that kind of get up and rally behavior and this is not it)……I did that in 2014, and kept going until about 2018, and in 2018, I finally allowed things to come up………and now, even though I am in a good place mentally and emotionally I find that this is the absolute PERFECT time to take a break from publicly posting to my blog, so that I can just be and be without expectation for a month.

Timing just feels right and truth be told…… if I were to post my blogs that I do have ready, it would still not feel appropriate or right……… because (points to everything in the world going on right now).

I struggled with this decision, but when I made the decision it felt AMAZING and that is how I know I need a break so that I can THINK, RELAX (hopefully) and BE all that my life is asking me to be and do (what I need to do) right now and live in this moment; for this moment will not come again.

I hope you all have a great Easter Weekend and an AMAZING month of April and I will be back to posting the first Thursday in MAY.

Lots of love and take care.
