Dear loyal readers, fellow bloggers and wonderful friends,
I must first thank you all kindly for an amazing year of blogging. When I challenged myself to Project(s) 2010, I didn't realize the immense joy my blog would bring me. I am proud to have accomplished a year's worth of substantial blogs.
Up until now I feel like my blog has been an accurate reflection of myself: my opinions, likes, dislikes, frustrations and moments of overwhelming happiness. I've enjoyed being a part of the blogging community. Over the past couple of weeks I've desired a break from this part of my life. Not because I'm tired of blogs (actually, quite the contrary), but because I'm struggling with my own creativity and the limitations of blogging.
I would feel terrible if I just stopped blogging for a couple of weeks or months without a word of clarity. I'd also feel guilty if I kept my blog on a lifeline especially if I were writing half-hearted blogs. So, I'm saying goodbye for now. I'm taking a sabbatical (if you will) to explore other facets of my creativity and curiosity.
I take a proud bow and say "Adieu" (for now).
Always,
Shelly
This is kind of a sad day. But a promising one because it will indeed renew your creativity. I know you'll blog whenever you feel inspired to :). But I will miss your notes and reflections so much!
ReplyDeleteI cried during and after the writing of this post. It was a really hard to decide whether or not to keep my blog going, but I just need an official break, guilt free.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to YOUR posts! :)
Shelly I hope you enjoy your break :) I'm sad that you'll be gone for a while, but I know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteI loved keeping up with you. I'm a little sad that this part of your life will not be shared. This must mean we must talk more on the phone to catch-up. Love You! mom
ReplyDeleteI'll miss your posts! But it's so good to get a break from things every now and then...good luck with all other aspects of your creative life! xoxo
