Have you ever suddenly found yourself feeling like you’ve maybe bit off a wee bit more than you can chew? It isn’t exactly easy to break down a giant mouthful of food and to be perfectly honest, I’m ready just to spit it all out.
What the crap am I talking about?
The Good: I’ve found the most AMAZING place to live and I’m so excited! It’s a one bedroom plus den with a stellar BBQ friendly balcony, gorgeous kitchen with granite counter-tops and recessed lighting, super plush white carpets (those will be dangerous), 9’ ceilings and doors, walk in closets, lots of green outside the windows, a fireplace, in suite laundry and a whopping 650 sq ft all within walking distance to Granville Island Market, boutique shops, cafes and restaurants and Kits beach. It’s awesome. Vancouver, prepare yourselves. June 1, I’m comin’ for ya.
The Bad(?): ALL that being said…. I’m taking a month off to unpack from my trip (yes there are still articles of clothing that haven’t made it into the laundry yet), pack the apartment, answer email (note to self: do NOT leave your email for a full week), sleep, drink the last of my BC wine and evaluate what I’m doing on the blog. Again. haahaha… And in life.
In all candid honesty, between work, the blog, the podcast, the work blog, the newsletters, the social media, planning and organizing a new online blogging conference, moving across the country, operating client’s blogs and social media accounts and all the real life stuff that happens offline (which evidently still exists despite the 70 hours a week I spend in my computer)….. I’m hitting a wall. I may or may not have had a bit of a meltdown this past week after sleeping all day…. So I’m taking one month off She Eats until the move is complete just to get life under control. And to reassess what the hell I’m doing. I may need to simplify. Both for my sanity and for you so you get the kind of posts and social love and content you deserve. Plus this is supposed to be fun, right? And right now it just feels muddy. And it’s all I can do not to drown in it.
I hope your past week and a half was fabulous and that you’ll still be here when I get back! I have some more book giveaways and reviews for you as well as some pretty amazing recipes to unleash in your mouths and my new CSA is starting mid June. Just in time for me to come back! ow ow!
I value you all so much. Even more than this giant glass of tasty, tasty beer. Wish me luck.

Go do you.
We’ll be here, waiting patiently and happily for your return.
Kristy,
Just wanted to tell you {both} good luck. We’re all counting on you.
We’ll miss you and be patiently waiting for you to return! Enjoy your beer! Enjoy yourself!
good for you! DO what you need to do!
I contemplated the same thing this morning. Not the beer, just the break. Why do us women take on so much? We say, I can do that. But you know, sometimes we just can’t. Get rested and see you soon.
Your blog was one of the first blogs I ever started following, and I certainly will be waiting be waiting for your glorious return! Take care and see you soon!
Just stop and enjoy the ride. (I’ll stalk you through instagram instead) C:
We will wait!! Because we all heart you and want you to be sane and happy - and loving what you do. So excited for your move - you must be too. Pack, organize, move and reevaluate. We’ll see ya’ on the flip side.
I’m back! to blogging! and I love your new site. It’s fantastic. You’re fantastic. And clearly you deserve the break you’re taking.
How wise of you to take a break. Too often we push through and nothing gets enough attention. Your approach sounds far saner. And I’m WAY jealous of your new digs - haven’t been that way in years and it sounds glorious!
