I'm Back! Here's What I've Been Up To and What's Coming Next!

Hey everyone!

Whew, it’s been quite some time since I last posted—almost a year, in fact 😅. I’ve missed this space and all of you so much! Sometimes life pulls us in many directions; one moment you’re going south, the next north. Life can certainly take you for a ride. For me, the past year has been a time of growth (growing pains, for sure), reflection, and exploration. I wanted to reconnect, share what I’ve been up to, and give you a glimpse of what’s coming next for Kaitoblogs!

Where Have I Been?

Life got pretty busy and hectic, as it often does, and I needed a break to focus on both personal and professional affairs. As the new year began, I started off quietly, ready to execute everything I had planned for the year. Smooth sailing… or at least that’s what I thought. February brought an unexpected turn when I was laid off from my previous position due to financial restructuring. It was disheartening and world-shattering, but I didn’t let it hold me down. I still had dreams to pursue, so I put on my big pants and started a job search.

Fortunately, in March, I found a fantastic opportunity as an after-school mentor for kids 🤗. Working with the children was such a joy; I learned a lot from them and was reminded that everyone, at heart, is still a child. Sometimes, letting the child in you come out can help you see the world as your oyster, full of pearls to discover!

In April and May, I focused on my health, which had declined due to stress. I encourage everyone to find time for exercise—whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. For me, it was a combination of all these aspects, and tackling them simultaneously helped me manage stress better.

From June to August, I continued working with the mentorship program for a summer camp. It was the best time ever, meeting and working with so many incredible people. Now, as September rolls in, I feel revitalized, recharged, and renewed. This break has allowed me to rethink my goals for the blog and bring more value and creativity to the content I share with you!

What’s Next?

I’m excited to dive back in and bring fresh content to the blog, starting with some of my favorite topics:
