I feel I owe an apology to my readers. I know many of you follow me because you’re in tough situations and find comfort or clarity in my words. I disappeared without warning, and I don’t like to leave people hanging, and I feel terrible about it. It’s been six months since my last post. I started 2025 excited to focus more on healing and writing for my blog. However, shortly after the year began, everything around me changed. I didn’t have a leg to stand on. I didn’t know how to process everything that was being thrown at me. Or how I would juggle a new reality. So I stepped away from writing. It was hard to focus on healing and growth when I was being pulled right back into the fight.
I wanted to give up my blog. Who really cares about what I have to say? Weeks turned into months, and writing became a distant memory, and all I did was shrug. After all, who was going to make me? But recently, something interesting started waking me up to giving it another shot. Subscribers. My email list was growing at a rate of 400% compared to last year. Another just joined as I write. Maybe they are people who were counting on my writing. Like I counted on others when things were dark for me. I opened up my blog this week to see where I left off and read the latest article. (Read here:5 Rules To Take Into 2025 – The Rose Miller Story ) And at the bottom of the post was a rule I posted for 2025- never give up.
My eyebrow raised at the words on the page. How can I write that and then give up? It felt a bit hypocritical. How can I expect people to take my advice or read my posts if I’m not doing it myself? I went back to the article to remind myself what I wrote about giving up. It said it’s okay to take a break. And so, that’s what I would like to call these last six months- just a break. It’s never too late to go back and pick up where you left off. I’ve had on-and-off periods with writing, especially when things become overwhelming. (Read more here:I’m Coming Home – The Rose Miller Story) But as long as I can, I plan to keep coming back.
It’s not about perfection, it’s about effort and consistency and not giving up. I see that now, and I’m grateful for my readers. I will push through my challenges and use my writing as a way to channel my inner strength. I will keep my readers coming back. I can’t wait to publish my books.

I have so much to write about, and I will, one post at a time. It’s been a whirlwind of a year, and it’s nice to be back. Looking back at my goals for this year, I managed to accomplish some. Even with all the unexpected twists and turns, I graduated from college this month with honors. It’s more than I ever would have imagined when I started this journey a few years back. (Read more:Long Lost Dream – The Rose Miller Story) It took commitment and consistency; it wasn’t easy as a mom of many kids, but it paid off. As my ethics professor said, we have an ethical responsibility to keep our word. He wanted us to value our word enough not to give it lightly. We need to keep our word even when it might be inconvenient or difficult. If we don’t have our word, we have nothing. Moving forward, I will do just that.
