Well can you believe it… After an unplanned and definitely unannounced hiatus that ended up lasting over 4 years, I’m back! The one and only Grace Blakiston, who many of you may know from my previous anonymous blog as ‘My Blessing by Grace.’
I did, in fact delete my blog after not posting for so long but thanks to technology, a lot of hours and some awesome people guiding me, I’ve been able to restore a lot of my old content. Unfortunately, I’ve lost almost all my likes and comments on my old posts and most of my followers have become inactive but I’m excited to start this whole journey afresh! So, what have I been up to in the past four years? Here’s a quick lil’ re-cap…
I finally finished my apprenticeship… you know the one that was an absolute mess last time we spoke. 😂 I’ve lost friends and made friends. Watched so many of my cousins become adults, get married and one even welcomed her first baby into the world!
I’ve watched my little brother go from being the smallest in our family to the biggest. I’ve stood hand in hand with depression and anxiety and learnt how to overcome so much by the grace of God, as I’ve begun to find freedom in this journey.
I’ve travelled extensively in the past couple of years, all around Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, South Africa, Goa, California, Arizona, Nevada anddd South Dakota… all for my very first time. I got to reunite with my best friends in America after 10 long years, trying to reunite for at least the last 5. I moved out of home. Watched one of my sisters leave too as she enlisted into the Air Force. And throughout these years, I’ve celebrated four birthdays of my own, from my 21st to my 24th. I’ve also had the privilege of celebrating many other big milestones, including my parents’ 50 th and my second nana’s very special 100th birthday.
I’ve seen many people give their lives to Christ and completely transform for the better whilst unfortunately witnessing others spiral into chaos. I’ve also dealt with a variety of health issues and over the past year have discovered a love for Pilates.
But here’s the exciting part! For the first time in a long time, I have hope again. I’m genuinely excited for the journey ahead and would love for you to come along with me as I begin to start posting more frequently again. If you no longer care to follow along, I totally understand. So here is your official invitation to unfollow me.
Whether you’re hearing from me for the first time or not, I’d absolutely love to hear what you’ve been up to these past four years. Drop a little (or long) recap in the comments below. I can’t wait to catch up!
Many Blessings, Grace. Xx
