An Apology and a Plea

I am here today to make a humble apology and ask you, all my absolutely wonderful followers, to stay with me. As you all know life has been a challenge for me since bringing little Eva in to live with us, and it hasn't gotten any easier. As children must, she is growing and becoming more mobile which is proving to be interesting since my house is NOT baby proofed and hasn't been in nearly 15 years. Frankly I'm exhausted, living with guilt over not getting much blogging done, and over stretched trying to help this family.

I know I've let you down by not blogging much. I've let myself down as well, but life does have a way of rearranging and I believe that helping someone in need is sometimes more important than doing what you want. We all need a hand up from time to time and without me, I'm not sure where they would be. Eva has come to mean a lot to me and as such her family does too. So I've made the decision to take a month off from blogging to ease the guilt, focus my attention on getting my home safe for the baby and helping this family become one again. I hope you will all support my decision and stay with me. I WILL be back I can promise you that as I miss you all so much! You're always encouraging comments keep me going on a lot of days and the inspiration I get from visiting your blogs is amazing! I need this time and I hope I don't lose a single one of you. Please sign up to receive my blog posts by email so you'll know when I'm back and ready to move forward again. I have lots of ideas rattling around in my head and a couple of videos I'd like to make so if you sign up you won't miss them.

So on that note, I love you all and will see you soon!

  5. Hi Deb - take all the time you need. First priority must be baby-proofing the house. It's a while since I had to do that but we moved house around that time so it was easier to think about where you placed things and how safe they were! Just remember to try and take some time for yourself too - create, visit some blogs or whatever works for you. You need to look after yourself as well and doing something for pleasure helps that. I'm speaking a bit from experience here when I got stuck in a rut as I was doing everything for everybody else and nothing for myself. I am a follower so will know when you post again and will look forward to hearing from you. Take care.
