Bye Bye Blog World, Taking A Break



Dear Friends,

This may come as a shock to some, but the time has come for this blogger to pull the plug for a while. Maybe it will be a month, maybe a year or it may be permanent (or private)...that's something I haven't quite decided. There are a lot of things factoring into this decision. Balance in life. Focusing on other things. Not feeling the pressure of blogging.

Not only that, it has come to my attention that my blog (and life) may have become a little too public. I am grateful for my close family and friends who support and have encouraged me in making this decision (you know who you are!).

I look to the future with excitement knowing that I have other little hobbies to occupy my time (pinterest projects, say whaaat!). Blogging had its run and I grateful for the opportunity I have had to "get to know" some of you and know that there are several I will keep in contact with.

Thanks again for a good time!

Love you all,
Stephanie

I think this is the best decision for you in your life right now. Time to focus on other (different) positive things that are going on. Oh and I better be involved in these pinterest projects! Love you Stephie!

You'll be missed, but you're not alone. I know the pressure of blogging has gotten to me at times, too. It's supposed to be something that is fun, and when the fun is gone, so too is the motivation. If you come back, great! If not, know that I've loved keeping up with you, my fellow Kardashian-lover! You know where to find me. :) Much love!

Annie said...

Best of luck with everything! I'm sure you'll feel some much needed relief that comes with the freedom of non-blogging! I'd love to know your pinterest link! (aejamba@hotmail.com)
