As I've said countless times this past year, I've been thinking about this blog and where I'd like it to go. After trying new things, added new segments, and reflecting on what's working and what's not, I've decided to take some time to completely revamp this space and rebuild it so that it's tailored to the new direction I'd like to see it head in.

I started this blog as strictly a personal photography blog, and now I feel as though I'm trying to shove a design blog, a style blog, a health blog, and a college blog into that small space that I created, and obviously, it just isn't working. And I truly believe that stepping away to really think about what I need this space to be is the only way for it to get closer to becoming it.

So here's a general guideline as to what to expect when I return from this indefinite break:

• A new name that better reflects what I want this space to convey
•  A better, more organized design that allows all those different categories I listed above to fit in organically to the space
• A clear, streamlined manifesto that can be found in every post I create

Friends and family who happen to check in on me via my blog to see how I'm doing and what my world looks like currently, do not fret. I intend to maintain personal posts in this new space. I love making personal posts, it's something that I've always needed a space for. However, I've grown over the past couple of years and my goals are different and I feel as though I have more to offer than simply photography and writing. I pride myself on being a multifaceted woman; someone whose heart is filled to the brim with interests and skills and hobbies, and I feel as though at this point in my life I could really use a space where all those things fit in.

I've had a hard week. Like a really, really hard week. Like a "Can this week just be over already?" week.
I honestly can't even recall a more challenging week in my recent past. But today is Friday and I survived. Cheers to that. Here's a little extra inspiration to push me in the right direction because I know that I for one could use it.

October, you are awesome.
