Out loud
I’ve been writing all my life – be it poetry, songs, news articles, ad copy, brochures, press releases, newletters, corporate magazine features or web content. You name it. Writing has always been a passion, a compulsion even.
So blogging was a very natural step. There were essays, naval grazings, rants, product reviews and stories shared. It has been a thrilling and incredible experience being a part of the mom blogging community. In fact, this month marks my fifth anniversary even.
But alas, I’ve outgrown this domain, my tiny piece of the the blogosphere. I suspected as much a year ago. But I hate to quit things. However, if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last few years, is that if you hold on to something too tightly, especially with eyes shut, you aren’t available to grasp at what may come your way.
So that’s what I’m doing. (Here I am universe. My eyes and hands are open.) I will continue to blog at STLFamilyLife. And I’m in the process of writing a novel.
It has been incredibly rewarding to meet fellow bloggers and read their stories. Here’s seeing you on the flipside.

So, based on the title, are you going to podcast or vlog? I will be sad to see you go, but I love STLFamilylife.com and hope you aren’t abandoning that, too?

I’ll miss you, too! I’ve thought of pulling the plug, myself, but the place is beginning to show signs of life, again!

I get this — I feel like I’ve outgrown my blog (though I haven’t been able to quit it for some reason.)
Can’t wait to see what’s coming next for you!

You’re a-okay sista. I’m glad there at least *is* a flipside.

Oh, just my luck. I’ve never followed a blog before, but after reading your entry on the trials of boys peeing on the floor, I thought I’d like to start following yours. I love your writing style. Have fun with whatever comes next.

Keep us posted. Sometimes it is nice to have the blog to go back to… I moved to the flip side and am now dipping back into the blog side. What is nice is that it is there when you want it but you don’t need to be a slave to your blog. Writing is a joy and a release… you take a break and go back when you feel like it. We will be here when you return
