Where Have I Been?

Hi everyone,
Remember back on New Year's Eve when I committed to writing more blog posts? Haha. Clearly I flopped a bit on that commitment. So I'm writing today to tell you why and to revise my commitment to you (and to myself).
As you may or may not know, I am an attorney specializing in intellectual property law and complex litigation. I feel extremely blessed to be one of those people who lucked out and absolutely loves their job. I actively chose and committed myself to a career in intellectual property law because I thrive on intellectual stimulation, I love solving problems, and I am driven by puzzles & legal strategy. But I also knew that my career choice might mean that sometimes my time would not be my own--that my schedule might unexpectedly change and I wouldn't be able to keep a consistent 9 to 5 type of schedule. So, as much as I have wanted to write and post more in the past few months, my time has been limited due to a chaotic work schedule and a need for some decompression time when my schedule had calmed down a little bit.
And my original commitment to writing more blog posts was a little too unrealistic in light of my career. I think my failure to accomplish my original commitment held me back from blogging at all, even though blogging sometimes would be better than not blogging at all. I miss writing and I want to share more about women's work wear and my experiences as I have started my career. So I am committed to writing more and posting more. It just might be not be a perfectly scheduled system. Some weeks I might write more than others. Some weeks I might not write at all. But I am committing myself to writing an average of at least one post every week.
With all the college graduations over the past month in mind, I have been inspired to focus a few posts on integrating yourself into the corporate work world and I can't wait to share my thoughts, experiences, and suggestions with you.
Here's a look at one of my favorite dresses in the meantime and it's only $32.99 on Amazon! I'll post more about my favorite Amazon choices soon. <3
Thank you for reading along and I will post again very soon!
Xo, Pax

I love that you’re owning the flop—it makes the revision feel way more real. As a fellow IP attorney, I totally get how the billable hours just eat the creative time, so I’m curious what your new posting rhythm looks like. I’ve been using https://hunyuan3d.dev

It’s so relatable that even a commitment made on New Year’s Eve can get buried under a docket, but I love that you’re carving out space for this again—especially since IP law is such a grind. I’ve been using https://image-to-stl.com
It’s so refreshing to hear a lawyer admit they love their job—and even more relatable that the blog commitment got sidelined by real life. Your honesty about the flop makes the revision feel way more genuine than a polished New Year’s promise. I’ve been using a similar reset approach myself, and it’s helped me stay consistent—check out https://z-image-turbo.me
