I Took a Year and a Half Off… But I’m Back, Y’all!
Whew—I’ve missed blogging and being present with WorthACharm. I had so many ideas last year and earlier this year, but I just couldn’t follow through. The motivation and energy weren’t there. But I’m back now, and I want to give you all a quick update on where I’ve been and how I found my way back.
Needing a Reset
Y’all, I truly needed a reset. Last year, I wanted to do a rebrand for WorthACharm, I even did a mini photoshoot (if you saw my IG post, you know!). But even with all the ideas, I couldn’t bring myself to act on them. I didn’t want to give you anything that felt like BS writing, but I was disappointed in myself for going a whole year without a single post.
But I had to be real with myself: I was burned out. Between going back to school, working two jobs, and then transitioning to full-time work while still in school, I was maxed out. Trying to force WorthACharm on top of that wasn’t healthy. If I was going to put something out, it had to come from a place of passion and authenticity. And at that time, it just wasn’t there. And I have to give myself grace for it.
Wanting More & Being Obedient
I had so many goals and ideas for WorthACharm, but I wasn’t acting on them or moving forward. I wanted to move on faith, step out of my comfort zone, and do things I felt called to do. But I kept stalling. I’d get excited, then overwhelmed. And to be honest, I got lazy. I started masking procrastination as “giving myself grace,” when really, I was dodging the work.
Recently, I listened to a Her Revision podcast episode called “Lazy H** Energy: A Case Study in Self-Sabotage,” and whew, she read me for filth. She reminded me that God can’t bless what I don’t put in the work for. That hit hard. One thing that really stuck with me was realizing I have a momentum problem. Once I pause, it takes me forever to bounce back, and that’s exactly what happened here. But if I truly want to see WorthACharm grow, I must stay consistent, disciplined, and accountable. No more long breaks and masking it as burned out.
Why Let It Die?
I’m not going to lie—I didn’t know how to restart WorthACharm. I had ideas and goals, but no real plan. My passion started fading, and I even wondered if I was the right person to carry this vision forward. I lost confidence in myself and stopped sending encouraging messages because I didn’t feel like myself anymore.
But then I asked myself: Why let it die if I can’t stop thinking about it? God didn’t give me this platform to let it wither away. It took prayer, reflection, and signs I couldn’t ignore to get me back here. And honestly, all it took was opening my laptop and starting to write again. Just like that, the passion came back. And for me to keep the passion alive, I have to pour into my creation and allow it to grow by staying consistent.
Putting myself back out there
The hardest part of this all is now rebuilding my confidence to step out on faith to put myself back out there. Being in a new city with new communities, most people don’t even know about WorthACharm because I stopped talking about it. But the only way I can move forward now is to put WorthACharm back out there, even if I’m scared.
I’m Back, and I’m Here to Stay
I want to end this post with saying, I am back and here to stay. I learned, rested, and regained focus to keep going, and I want to encourage anyone who feel like they have lost their passion or need to be refueled that it is still in you. All that is require for you to do is act on it and believing in your passion again.
Thank you for sticking with me.
