Be Right Back | Just Doro is Taking a Creative Sabbatical
Hello friends! It’s been a while.
Over the past year, I’ve fired up Squarespace more times than I can count - willing myself to find something worth sharing, waiting for a blogpost to dance from my fingertips, to dig deep for a story that needed telling. But each time, I’ve come up blank.
That silence feels like a sign… a quiet nudge from the universe that something’s no longer aligned. Maybe it’s time for a pivot.
I’ve been sitting with the uncomfortable truth that my blog may no longer be serving me in its current form. That doesn’t mean I’m walking away from writing or creativity altogether. But it does mean the creative container that once fit so well now feels too small - it needs to evolve to meet me where I am now.
Am I still the same person who started Just Doro?
Not quite. When I launched this blog in 2021, I was bursting with energy - fueled by curiosity, a desire to share my perspective, and the sheer joy of having a little digital corner to call my own. I was quite literally bursting at the seams with excitement, ready to share painfully detailed reviews of the most mundane things in life - such as reviewing supermarket desserts, discovering home office gems, and obsessing over packing tips - to anyone who wanted a source of entertainment during COVID lockdown and social distancing.
But time moves fast. Somehow, we’re already halfway through 2025. And I’ve grown. I left consulting. I stepped into an in-house strategy role. I shifted industries, reimagined my career goals, and deepened my sense of self.
In some ways, this blog has been like a long-term relationship. And like all good relationships, it has to grow with me or gently make space for what comes next.
So, I suppose this announcement won’t come as a surprise:
Just Doro is taking a creative sabbatical while I explore new ways to tell stories and reflect on work, life, and growth. I’ll be back if and when it feels right - or maybe not at all. And honestly, that’s part of the beauty.
Speak soon (maybe).
