The Apology I Owe You for a Summer Off the Grid

Dear Amazing Blog Readers!At some point in time, you made the decision to let me into your lives. You followed my blog, liked my social media pages and clicked my links. For that, I am so incredibly grateful. You have come to me because I keep it real. I say the things that need to be say. I share hard stuff so that we, as whole, can all grow together to become better versions of ourselves. But at some point in time, I let you down.

I let you down because I allowed my own personal analysis-paralysis, my own challenges, to keep me from talking to you.

I let you down because I allowed my own personal analysis-paralysis, my own challenges, to keep me from talking to you. It kept me from posting, from taking pics, from communicating. And for that, I am truly sorry. Because if I was truly being real, I would allow you all to see the things I struggle with in their unformed glory. I would share the process without waiting for the illuminated lesson at the end of the tunnel. I would allow you to come along for the ride. To learn as I learn.When I really think about the people that inspire me, it isn’t their contrived gloss and highly-lacquered finish that draws me to them. Instead, it’s their ability to speak with clarity even when their voice is shaking on the inside. To be authentic and open, even in the eyes of uncertainty. To plod forward in the dark with only a nightlight to guide.So here it is, my promise to you; the good, the bad and the ugly.1)     I will let you see my journey.2)     I will post more.3)  No matter what, I will be unfailingly focused on learning from life, and remaining open to goodness and abundance. In doing all of this, it is my unyielding goal to help you become better versions of yourselves. In turn, I’m going to pursue my passions in the hopes of finding my OWN way to the best version of me I can find.

As many of you have noted to me in messages, my blog has been pretty quiet the last few months. Why? Major career-happenings and, not one but, two parents dealing with life-threatening surgeries left me chugging on empty with everything I had focused on getting by, showing them love and keeping my eyes on the prize and moving forward. I spent three months in New York City with my momIn my incomplete state, I felt like I had nothing to give to you. Because I wasn’t perfect, because I didn’t have all “my answers” I kept quiet. Which…. Is really silly. In hindsight, sharing my process probably would have been much better for you [all] and me.

So. All that being said, here’s the deal.I am moving BACK to LA from San Francisco by the end of October. I am so looking forward to being around friends and the community I grew to love! My parents, both mother and father, are doing fantastic!  After three months I’ve had a ton of time to reflect and refocus. I am 100% ready for every adventure, every challenge, every new thing and every leap that is laying before me! Bring it, world, I’m ready!And so I thank you. I thank you for your patience with me and your continued support, energy and time. I appreciate each one of  you for your Facebook comments to your Instagram likes. Thank YOU!There is more fun. More fashion. More journey. More body positivity and more stories of confidence to come! Plus, an updated website relaunching soon.If you have questions for me, or just feel like saying hello, please chime in below in the comments!! I would love to hear from you.Graciously yours,Sarah
