Behind the Scenes: Updating My Website

Hi Friends,

I thought it would be fun to share a little behind-the-scenes update with you about my website and everything I’ve been working on. If you’ve visited recently, you might have noticed a few changes — pages moved around, some taken out for now, and even a fresh new look overall. That’s because I decided it was time for a complete refresh.

When I first started my site, I had so many ideas of what I wanted to share. I added pages, created posts, and built up content in different areas. But after a while, I realized things were getting a little scattered. Some pages didn’t feel finished, and others didn’t quite fit the direction I wanted to take anymore. So I made the decision to step back, redo the whole site, and focus on building a stronger foundation.

Right now, my goal is to keep things simple. I’ve taken out some pages temporarily so I can put my full attention on the ones that remain. This way, I won’t feel overwhelmed trying to update everything all at once. Instead, I can focus on finishing one section at a time and making sure each page feels complete and ready before moving on. Once those pages are where I want them to be, I may bring back some of the other ones that I’ve set aside.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned while reworking my site is that it’s okay to make changes. A website isn’t something that has to stay the same forever — it grows, shifts, and changes right along with you. If a page or idea doesn’t work right now, that doesn’t mean it can’t come back later in a better way. I want my site to reflect who I am and what I enjoy, and sometimes that means rearranging things until they feel right.

I’m also paying more attention to the experience of visitors. I want my site to feel easy to explore, not confusing or overwhelming. That’s another reason why I chose to simplify. By starting with a cleaner structure, it’s easier for you to find what you’re looking for and easier for me to update consistently.

Even though it’s a lot of work, I’m really enjoying the process. It feels like I’m giving my site a fresh start, and I’m excited to see where it goes from here. I have so many ideas I still want to bring to life, and I can’t wait to share them with you as they’re ready.

So if you stop by and notice that some pages are missing or still being worked on, just know that it’s all part of the process. I’d rather take the time to build things up the right way than rush through and end up with something that doesn’t feel complete.

Thank you so much for your patience and for following along with me on this journey. Your support means the world, and I hope you’ll keep checking back to see the new things I’m adding. This is just the beginning of where I want to take my site, and I’m excited to have you along for the ride!
