The GR Guide turns 6 today! I can’t believe I’ve been working my dream job for the past 6 years. It feels like yesterday I was sitting at my dining room table when I hit publish on my first blog post. In 6 years The GR Guide has taken me on incredible adventures, and allowed me to collaborate with some amazing companies I’m so grateful to say the least.
This industry of being a blogger/influencer has changed so much since I first started. Remember the days when Instagram was just photos? I have a love-hate relationship with social media in general, and really learned a lot from my week long break. I’ve realized I truly love the human connection and stretching myself creatively. But I also know what triggers my mental health and when I need to take a step back. I’m definitely not leaving Instagram, but I know my number one focus will always be this blog. Throughout the past 6 years (and blogging on Project Soiree), this space has brought me so much joy. I’m so excited to see what unfolds next for The GR Guide.
Also, if you’re reading this right now, I want to say a big THANK YOU. I wouldn’t get to wake up each morning excited to walk into my office if it wasn’t for you. I’m so thankful for your support. Thank you for stopping me at restaurants to say hi, for following along on my travel & life adventures, for sending me messages on social media asking for advice on where to have dinner tonight, and continuing to read the blog. Honestly, The GR Guide wouldn’t be anything without you. xoxo
