Join me as I explore a new writingfield

To all my readers who follow my blog, or those who have just stumbled across it…

Thank you! Thank you for reading and sharing in my joy and thoughts. I am not sure how many of you are out there, but I hope I have touched at least a few hearts!

I started this blog as a girl who had just entered her twenties. Sixteen years have passed since then, and I now have a beautiful little memoir of my life. For that, I am incredibly thankful. I always come back here to read my old entries, and I can see just how much I have grown and matured. It feels like sitting by the window seat of a train, watching the chapters of my life fly by. Some posts captured ordinary days, like cows grazing peacefully in a field. Others captured topsy-turvy moments, like passing a steep cliff with jagged rocks below. I poured my heart into these pages.

Some raw emotions and some filtered ones.
Some prayers and some comical musings.
Some major life events and some heartfelt tributes.

I love them all, because they are as genuine as they could possibly be.

Right now, I am on a new adventure with my family, starting fresh in a new country. As part of this chapter, I have decided to start a new space on Substack. I want to focus deeply on writing, creativity, and sharing my words with a broader audience. It isn't that this blog didn’t do that—it did, beautifully. But this blog is so close to my heart that it almost feels like leaving a piece of my soul exposed for everyone to read.

Please look out for @PonderingsAndPauses on Substack so you can continue this journey with me!

Signing off for one last time,

Happy Mabre.
