I Walk In This World

Healthy eats, often with a side of snark

The New Season

Hi peeps.

I’m here. 

DSC_1279

The hiatus was good for me.  I’m refreshed and focused more on life and where I want it to go and what I want from it.

So.

I’m going to make a few adjustments to IWITW.  Just a few things.  I plan to continue my focus on Ethical Eating and promoting those companies and products that fit in my world view of an ethical eating lifestyle. 

I am not going to journal every meal from here on out. 

I am a full time professional. 

I am a wife. 

I am a dog-momma. 

I am a MOH in my only sister’s wedding next month. 

I am a BM in my BFF’s wedding next spring. 

I have family I need to spend more time with and friends I need to pay more attention to. 

And I need more time for me.  Honestly, that means that I would rather read y’all’s food blogs than spend 30 minutes typing out my daily food journal each day.

I plan to continue at MY pace.  This space if for me, my blog, my thoughts, my perspectives.  This blog is not my career nor is it my life.  It is my hobby and source of creative outlet.  I’ve simply fallen trap to the blog obsession and pressure (self-inflicted) to post each meal, each day.  And I.Burned.Out.

Consider this post the New Season of I Walk In This World. 

Still Food. 

Healthy Eats. 

Lots of snark.

I hope y’all are cool with that.  And if not, eh….you’ll adjust.

;)

xoxo

    Good for you for making that decision. Sometimes you need to step back and take time for the things that really matter. Good luck with everything coming up for you in the next year! Enjoy the new found free time :)

    I am so happy to see your beautiful smiling face once again.

    I think that is such a great and justified decision. Always do whatever is best for you and makes you ultimately happy. :)

    So glad you’re back! I’m happy to hear that you’re in a good place and the changes sound wise. I imagine that blogging must be a lot of pressure, particularly if you have any perfectionist tendencies ( as I do). Do what makes you happy-sometimes it’s hard to get the balance right isn’t it? Anyway, I look forward to seeing the changes and will continue to read along. I’m glad that there will still be snark–very important to vent :)

    Yay! You’re back! Your new approach sounds like a much more balanced type of blog for you. It will focus on the things that matter most to you vs. forcing yourself to take pictures of everything you eat. Have fun with your new approach!

    Congrats on finding your focus Erin! I’m sure that you will find much more fulfillment int he blog as you participate on your own terms. I kind of do the same thing. I can’t imagine documenting and posting every. single. thing. Ugh! So glad you are back though! xoxo

    I can totally understand you… when we get obsessed about something, it’s just not fun anymore! :)

    I am so glad you are back and am excited about the new format! I confess, I am not a fan of seeing people’s daily eats, but I do love topics on healthy eats and how can I live without your snark? Plus, blogs are always better when you do them for yourself rather than others :)

    i’ve been making some of the same changes (just sneakily, and gradually) so i say GOOD FOR YOU! if the blog was my main source of income or provided any substantial income, i might adhere more but you are right - it is a hobby and supposed to be fun and enjoyable!

    can’t wait to read/see more! lotsa love, holly

    i agree 100%…my camera has been broken the last two weeks so i havent been able to blog and it’s been somewhat of a relief. i still want to continue but will definitely not be detailing every morsel of food that goes into my mouth :)

    Sierra says:

    Glad that you’re back! I’ve missed your blog posts.

    I can barely keep up with my once a week blog posts, I could never do it for every meal every day on top of a full time job and life, etc. Take care of you first, blog second. :)

    Although I’m sure we’ll miss your daily eats, you gotta do what’s right for you. It’s just nice to have you back :)

    Hi Erin! I haven’t checked in since you have been back! I agree that more time for you is NECESSARY! Since I have stopped blogging every bite it’s been hugely freeing. I hope it’s the same for you :)
