Why I No Longer Allow Blog Comments on Luana.me

As of May 25, 2018, I no longer allow blog comments on my personal blog.

I could sum up the reason with one word: GDPR.

That’s the EU General Data Protection Regulation that came into effect on May 25, 2018, and it applies to all businesses, organizations and websites that deal with EU citizens (not necessarily located in the EU).

And yes—it applies to personal bloggers as well.

So a change was necessary.

February-August 2018 Monthly Wrap-Up: Books & Freelance Work

Welcome to my February-August 2018 monthly wrap-up! 🙂

Because I haven’t posted an update since February, I thought it would be good to merge the wrap-ups together into a single post. (September’s will go with October’s the next month.)

Here’s a brief personal life summary before I dive deep into projects, readings and freelance work news:

• My dad was diagnosed with leukemia in early March and admitted to the hospital shortly thereafter. It hit me pretty bad and I fell into a depression that has only recently started to fade (dad is okay, he got his marrow transplanted and his health is slowly improving, although it’s going to be a long journey—positive thoughts and prayers are appreciated ♥)
• My psychotherapist and a psychotherapy book helped me find the right diagnosis for my condition: it’s not an Asperger’s Syndrome as we suspected, but High Sensitivity. I’m an HSP. I’m trying to find a good neurologist to see before the year ends because I want to find some kind of ‘fix’ for my sensory processing issues (if there’s any; I hope there is…)

Luana.me Is On an Open Hiatus

I’m planning changes for my blog — namely, I will be moving all the strictly personal posts elsewhere and the new blog will include:

• Updates on freelance work, fiction and artwork
• Updates on new connections and blog friendships
• Round-up posts from blogs I read and whose that I feel is worth sharing
• Anything about my fields (marketing, blogging, art, technology) that I feel are worth sharing

That’s it.

Thanks for stopping by!
