I haven't blogged since 2018. What's changed?

Bonjour, mes amis! It's been a while...


I entered the blogosphere in 2013, initially to document my semester abroad in Nantes, France. That didn't happen.


Then I tried to turn it into a spot where I consistently wrote about whatever was on my mind. That happened, though the "consistency" did not. My last post on my personal blog, Vicky La France, was in September 2018.


It's now January 2021, and I'm much closer to 30 than I was when I started that first blog. (Shout out to those of you who have stuck around since the Frigates days, mostly Mom and Dad). Surprisingly, in my two-year hiatus from the blogging world, several people in my real life have asked me when I'll be writing again (again, mostly Mom and Dad). Some parents bug their daughters about when they're getting married. My parents bug me about when I'm restarting my blog. Because they're the BEST. ❤️


As my reintroduction to the blogosphere, here's what's changed since the last time I blogged.

  1. In 2018, I was living in upper Manhattan. In 2021, I've lived in Queens for a year and I love it.

  2. In 2018, I was an editor at an industry research company on Wall Street. In January 2020, I started a new job in corporate communications for an airline ... right before a global pandemic hit. Speaking of which ...

  3. In 2018, I went outside without a face mask. In 2021, I don't do that anymore.

  4. In 2018, I was growing out my hair and it was halfway down my back. In 2021, I've cut my hair to its shortest length since college, and I'm obsessed. Check out the featured pic of this post!

  5. In 2018, I was a practicing Catholic who was falling more in love with God and her faith every day. In 2021 ... I still am. ✝️❤️

  6. In 2018, I hadn't been to France in three years. In 2021, I haven't been to France since a pilgrimage to Lourdes in 2019. And with the way this pandemic is going, it looks like I won't be going there anytime soon. 😢

  7. In 2018, I was super single, casually scrolling CatholicMatch, and couldn't stop thinking about this one particular guy who played guitar and wore bow ties. In January 2021, we celebrated our two-year dating anniversary.

  8. In 2018, I didn't think anyone else would want to read my writing (again, aside from Mom and Dad, like the real MVPs they are). Over the past two years, I've been a contributor for my favorite Catholic women's blog, FemCatholic, helped some friends with copywriting for their businesses, and gotten to write a lot more in my 9-to-5 job. As I've rediscovered my love for writing and sharing my writing, I wanted to create a more grown-up place online where my words could live forever (because the internet is forever, folks.)

So now, I'm here again. Welcome to my new little corner of the internet. The cookies are out of the oven, the coffee's hot, and I'm ready to have an honest conversation with you.


That's my story of the past two years. I can't wait to hear yours.
