BRB..and now what?

Exploring New Horizons

Well, the cat’s out of the bag—I’m on a social media hiatus! It feels a bit weird being so disconnected; I literally don’t know what’s happening unless it comes through email or from a friend. But it feels so good because I can hear myself think again. So many ideas are bubbling up, and I’m excited about what this sabbatical will bring.

Since making this decision, I’ve been getting a lot of questions: What have you been up to? Do you feel like you have more time? What are some things you do to fill your time?

Yes, I definitely feel like I have more time. I’ve been trying not to fill it with binge-watching shows. Instead, I’ve been dedicating a lot of time to activities like yoga (lots of it, lol), meditation, and catching up on some of my favorite podcasts (How I Built This and Acquired). I’ve also been taking fitness and dance classes, and exploring new hobbies like archery and surfing. Plus, I’ve picked up writing again—how did I forget how much I love it?

Right now, I’m on the hunt for a good read. If you have any recommendations, please send them my way!

In the meantime, enjoy those July vibes and your mix of the month!

Warmly,
Mehïka
