Passport by Design will be two years old in February and it seems like just yesterday I published my very first post. I want to try out a few new things in 2020. This includes experimenting with different types of blog posts. I hope to include more interviews. A few trips are coming up shortly and I can’t wait to share them with you. I also plan on doing more staycation posts that show you around New York and Connecticut….
What really is blogging? What is it like to sit behind the computer screen? I talked about how this journey started in a couple previous blog posts. Check out my 6 month blogiversary and my 1 year blogiversary. It’s so stressful to meet with people in different industries and make a good impression. Do they even know what bloggers do?

I’ve definitely experienced periods of writer’s block and lack of motivation while creating this blog. I do see a trend of the things that help me find my motivation again, though. I’m sharing them with you below in hopes they can help you regain your motivation, whether it’s blogging or just showing up for…
For years I’d visited blogs and really enjoyed getting to see into someone else’s life. You get to see what inspires them and the things that bring them joy.
