Hello Again

I want to thank everyone for being so patient with me and the site. After the election, I didn’t know what to do with the blog because its origin was chronicling my journey with Dad on the campaign. I was uncertain about what my future would be let alone the future of the blog after the election. I am finally now in a place where I am ready to share my life again. And when I mean share, I mean share for real like I used to. No, it will not be as fascinating as it was on the trail, but I can guarantee you it will be fun. So, what I have been doing? After the election things were very hard. People would come up to me when I was grocery shopping as if someone in my family had died. But slowly and surely, with lots of help from my family and incredible friends, I began to feel like myself again. Then, inauguration day came and the rush of disappointment flooded in all over again. The only way I can explain this feeling is a very bad heartbreak. And, like any heartbreak, it takes time to heal. I originally thought I was going to rush back to New York. But while I was home I started decorating my apartment (which had previously consisted of my laptop, bed and shoes) and catching up with friends. I like being able to see my little sister Bridget (who will leave for college in a year) whenever I want. We rescued two kittens from the humane society about a month ago. I named mine “Mouse” and she named hers “Bisqut.” We have become very attached. I also forgot how much I love the desert and how soothing I find the landscape. Being away from home so much last year had made me appreciate it that much more now. New York may still be in my future, but for now home is here. As I announced a month ago, I am working for The Daily Beast (a topical blog founded by Tina Brown) and LOVE it. The people are amazing and I like that there are people I worked with on the campaign that work on the site as well. I am also working on some other really exciting projects I am passionate about and PROMISE to share with everyone as soon as I am able. All I can say is that you won’t be disappointed. In the meantime, I will keep you updated on all the little and big things. I also am going to share things I get asked about all the time. From discount fashion tips to healthy snacks that actually taste good and everything in between. And of course, new playlists! To my readers, thank you for all your support. Love, Meghan Song of the Day: “The Passenger” by Iggy Pop
