no that's not the new word over at One Little Word. Instead there is a note from me, letting the scrapbook world know that OLW is letting go. It takes courage. It has been a part of me for more than 2 1/2 years. I have poured my heart, my thoughts, my words, my mad organizational skills, and many hours into that blog. It is hard to say goodbye.
So why the change? It has been coming for a while now. It takes a lot of work to run that blog. Time that has taken away from some of the things i value in my life, including quality family time. And it is time to rearrange priorities. Courage. I don't like disappointing people, which is why it has taken me so long to take those final steps. I didn't want to disappoint the team. Honestly i think about half of them are a little relieved a little, for they too are refocusing their priorities. All of them have been extremely encouraging even if we all are sad. This is why i love them. This is why i truly call them friends. They are my scrap family. and i didn't want to disappoint the wordsters. They too mean so much to me. To read their stories, to see them take leaps with us, to see their growth. I can't tell you what that means to me. and I truly hope they will continue to celebrate the power of their words.
I am a go all the way girl or not at all. And i felt i wasn't giving my 100%. That made me disappointed in myself. Who knows what the future holds. Maybe once things get settled down in my life, i can refocus my energies back into OLW. However it is with courage that i say i have to do what is best for me. And listen to my inner voice.
Big Love
