See you again.

I will be taking a short break from this blog. I expect to resume writing toward the end of October.

This blog is a continuation of my very first journal in Japanese:
ミシガンに恋してhttps://esnl.exblog.jp, which remains a precious part of my roots. Later, I began writing here on Blogger in English. Some readers have found me for the first time through this English blog, while others have followed me here from my Japanese writings.

At some point, however, this blog stopped appearing in search results. Perhaps I may have written something Google deemed unfavorable. I have occasionally expressed my thoughts on social issues. Even so, I have no intention of deleting those posts, because for me, a blog is a precious record of my life—capturing who I was in each moment of time.

I am deeply grateful to those who still make their way here despite the blog not appearing in searches. If I continue to write sincerely, I believe that one day the blog may once again be indexed in Google Search Console, making it easier for people to find this place. I look forward with hope to that day.

When I return, I want to offer even more engaging posts, something that will bring joy and inspiration to you. Until then, please stay well and happy.

A little extra: a photo of something like oatmeal muffins filled with sweet red bean paste.


For Japanese readers who continue to visit my blog, as well as for those from other language backgrounds, I have written bilingual posts here:

Thank you for being part of my journey by visiting this space.   See you again soon!   Rose*
