If I said these stacks were organized would you believe me.

Hot take: don’t read horror books before bed. 😭 but really. This book was cruising along, super good pace, loved the vibe and then BOOM. Blood everywhere. If you’re into thrillers and horrors I think this would make a great beach read. If you’re like me and already an anxious mess I recommend reading no later than 3 pm.

Today marks SIX YEARS of Blondes & Bagels. I don’t think I’ve ever committed to any one thing for so long (except my husband). I started B&B with not just low expectations - I had NO expectations. I didn’t think anyone could or would read my articles. I definitely had no idea blogging could be any kind of a career. I just wrote because I loved to write. I still love to write.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how few of us ever say how proud we are of ourselves. I’m not sure if it’s a fear of coming across as self important or deluded. But when I pull the data and look at the last six years of this whole thing I’ve created - I’m not sure how to be anything less than proud of myself. So far in 2021, my blog traffic is +136% to last year. I was printed in the New York Times because a writer found one of my blog posts, reached out, and sparked a conversation. Over the last three years, I’ve consistently brought in a five figure income on blogging alone - not counting my day job. And even when I was making nothing doing this, I loved it.

My blog put me in a position to experience something I never really thought I’d ever find: a true life partner who gives unwavering, unconditional support in every venture I do. Even when it isn’t his dream or when he doesn’t “get” it. @giants92388 I didn’t build this alone. I did it with you reminding me not a single piece of it was stupid. Nothing I ever want to do or try is ever stupid to you. Thanks for being so much more than an “Instagram husband.” Thanks for being the love of my life and my partner 110% of the time. Thanks for never letting me get in the way of me.

So all of this to say I’m absolutely proud of what I’ve built. And I’m so incredibly humbled by and thankful to anyone who has ever consumed any piece of content I’ve made. And I genuinely mean it. I don’t take it for granted - how precious time is and how generous it is when you spend it on my site or consuming any of my content. The value of your time and support isn’t lost on me. Not even for a second.

If I could do anything for the rest of my life - it would be to write. Here’s to six years of B&B. And hopefully so many years more.

It just means these tasks are designed to test you. In the most brutal way. They’re almost cruel. ⚡️
