Rhythmofliving's Blog

Sooo sorry to any of my subscribers that got a gazillion notifications today!!! I had no idea that Polyvore was posting every single thing I clipped to the site! I have removed the random posts and am changing my settings. So sorry about that. I know I would get pretty dang annoyed if I were subscribed to someone’s blog that posted spam type things like that!
Other than that little debacle, hope everyone has a great week. Happy Hump Day!

I’m sorry that I haven’t posted in months. We had a death in the family in September, and I have been slowly getting back into the writing/creative groove. I think what kept me going was my new found love of cooking and “frugal homemaking”(more on that to come). The night we got the news about my amazing brother in law being taken from us, I was nervously baking and creating in the kitchen to keep my mind falling apart. The secret to it all, I’ve found, is to always keep moving. Even when you’d rather just melt into the floor.
The past couple of months have been filled with lots of growing, grieving, wringing my hands trying to figure out how to help from so far away, and finally it hit me is all I can do is keep myself afloat so I’m the last thing that my family needs to worry about with so much already on their plate. To be that positive voice on the other end of the phone that they needed to hear.
So, keeping busy, I have been! I am planning to play catch-up very soon and post tons of recipes that I have tried and loved, some new interests that I have procured, some reviews on some beauty related things, and of course a few more of my “mental vacations” that keep me going.
I’m happy to have a few new subscribers as well! Those little notifications I get in my inbox have helped me regain my focus on why I started this blog in the first place. Maybe I can help some of you with whatever life may have thrown your way this past year (or decade- who knows what the next person may be going through) and inspire you to always keep moving! That’s exactly where this blog’s name came from. The constant cadence that is life, with or without us. I made a choice, a few days before I created this blog almost two years ago, to move with “life’s rhythm” instead of letting it move on without me. I hope that anyone reading this that feels like maybe their life is spiraling, moving on without them, or even falling apart, realize that you can overcome anything. All you have to do, is find what makes you tick. Find even the smallest thing that brings a little light to your day and run with it! Along the way, I’d be willing to bet that you just might find yourself ! I have many many more things to say on this particular subject, so I will save all that for an upcoming post about what I’ve figured out this past fall. For now I will just wish everyone a Merry Christmas and I’ll be back again soon!
