i’m back+ life update

Hey Queens!

Wow. It has been a hot minute since I last posted. I kind of took a break from blogging without ever telling anyone and i’m not going to lie it was so nice. I didn’t even look at my reader until earlier this day for a whole month and I feel like i’ve missed out on so much stuff that has happened. now i’m going to be very honest with you in this post and I really hope that all of you lovely people will help a girl out and give her some idea of how you all feel.

Ever since the summer i’ve kinda been in and out of blogging. I only had a total of 6 post since June which is very unlike me. I would post and then go 2 weeks without posting and then post again. And every since the summer I feel like i’ve lost my passion to sit down to write, create, and just see you all interact with my posts. It wasn’t like I stopped posting because my blog wasn’t growing. My blog has grown more then I could ever dream. I just don’t have that excitement like I used to when I would post. last year when my blog started to take off I would get so excited and be posting 2 maybe 3 times a week and no I just don’t feel like it. It’s always in the back of my head but I always push posting off.

You might be thinking why on earth is she telling us this? Well it’s because ever since I started AinsleyBeth I wanted my followers to feel connected to it. Not just like they read it and that’s it, I want them to be able to relate and also be inspired. So I want you all to do something for me. I don’t plan on quitting blogging because I know people enjoy reading my posts. But I need some encouragement from you all, reasons why you enjoy my posts, or maybe why you don’t enjoy them. I want to get my passion back for blogging and if you guys just help me out a bit it would mean the world!

So I hope this is the first of many posts of me getting back into blogging. And if you have any suggestions or ideas let me know!

life update

I’ve always loved doing these and figured since I haven’t posted in so long you all would need one.

Volleyball season has ended. Tears lol. It was such a great season and I can’t wait to start training and getting ready for the next. The group of girl I played with were amazing and I feel so blessed that I get to play with them.

School is going well actually. Science is never a favorite of mine but this year I have been loving it.

I posted a couple months ago about starting a healthier lifestyle and it is hard. There are times where I eat really well and take really good care of my body and times where I don’t. But that is to be expected. I would love to tell you guys more about it!

I’m getting another nephew! This is really old news but I just never posted about it. He is due in January and I can not wait!

I am full fledged in the holiday season. I’m ready to start my Christmas shopping and am already planning for my family Christmas!

And most of all I feel like my faith has gotten stronger. I do a bible study with other teenagers on Mondays nights and it is such and encouragement and learning experience for me! I feel like in the past i’ve never really done posts on my faith but I would love to start doing that!

Well queens I hope you all are having an amazing day and can’t wait to start connecting with you again!

Make sure you give me encouragement, ideas, suggestions, and just general feedback in the comments! I appreciate it!

Love,

Ainsley

  2. I am so happy to hear you’ve been growing in your faith and would loveeee to see posts about faith more! I lead a youth Bible study with my friend on Friday mornings, so hearing that another similar ministry has touched you is inspiring to me in the ministry God has given us!

  3. Heyyy!! Missed your posts!!

    I TOTALLY get the “not feeling passionate” about writing posts. I get it!!! Try writing out what you DO feel passionate about. And then write on that!! That helps me.

    Keep up the good work!! Love you lots!!

  6. It’s so good to see a post from you in my reader once more!!
    To be really honest, I’ve been in the same spot as you. Not frequently getting the inspiration to post, and being to busy and time restricted to be able to sit down and write posts!! So I very much understand where you’re coming from.
    something I’ve switched to doing on my blog, is trying to really focus it on my faith, as that is something I’m always passionate about!! I still don’t post about it alllll the time though, because sometimes I just don’t have the right words at the right time.

    I appreciate your blog so much, because you are a likeminded Christian, who I can see strives to bring glory to Christ! I would absolutely love 💕 to see more posts on your faith, I think it can and will encourage even more people!
    I hope to see you continue blogging!! ❤️

  8. So happy to have you back Ainsley! I wanted to take the time to write a proper, thoughtful comment so left it until I had more time. I’ve had a lot going on with family and my personal life and blogging definitely took the backseat. At times it’s felt like I’ve forgotten how to write since I haven’t been consistent with it for months, apart from my weekly Inspiration posts. My style with that has changed too and I’m sharing a lot more faith based content. What’s helped me is finding my why, my purpose, and coming back to that when I’m demotivated. Maybe a blog rebrand or revamp will help you? Freshening up my site was a lot of fun. I’m also editing older blog posts and the other day I completely redid my about page. It can be tough to write about yourself sometimes so that was almost a task in rediscovering who I am in this season of life.

    Anyway, much love, big hugs! Sending light your way xx

  9. It’s good to see you back on again, Ainsley!! Wow, congrats on all the amazing new things in your life … especially Baby Nephew! XD I’m so glad your faith has gotten stronger too … bible studies are the best! They do amazing at keeping you accountable and getting you to dig deeper into the Word.

    Well, you’ve always had some great lifestyle posts! I loved your recipe posts, they were so aesthetic and cute! And the health-related and “tips for ___” posts were also fun! I would love to see a “what I eat in a day” post from you – you mentioned that you are into feeding your body with healthy foods and it would be cool to see what we girls could gain from your experiences!

    Welcome back!! 🤗
