I am back from an AMAZING vacation and still recovering, going through a myriad of photos, and working on a super long trip recap, mostly for me, but I’m going to share it with you as well.
But while I’m working on that, I thought I would bring you some links I’ve saved over the past few months. I always intend to post these monthly, then never do. So as you can see, some of these are much older than others.

That “blogging is dying” post is pretty interesting. I used to follow a lot of running/triathlon blogs, but I’ve noticed that the people I followed had babies and then suddenly decided to live a more private life.
However, I don’t necessarily think all of blogging is dying — I feel like so many people are trying to be “influencers” and create lifestyle/travel/fashion blogs now. Personal branding is way more important than it was before. I feel a little left behind in some ways, but at the same time, I like that my little blog isn’t commercial.
Thanks so much for the shout out!! Looks like I have some reading to do 🙂

So much good reading. Can’t wait to hear about your travel adventures, but I’ve got some stuff to tide me over until then. 🙂
Hope you had a great vacation. I’ll definitely bookmark this Beautiful list and come back to it from time to time.
PS. Thanks for the mention, Megan.
I agree with you that not all blogging is dying, though a lot of it is going in a different direction. While it would be amazing to have a super popular blog, I don’t want to sell out. I want this blog to be something I want to do, and it makes me happy.
This article is really god. Thank you for sharing your personal experience on vocation trip.
