And it’s goodbye from me – a fond farewell?
As the title suggests, I have decided to hang up my blogging hat.
I don’t want to rattle off a whole plethora of negative reasons why, even though there are some, instead I’d like to thank each and every person who has ever clicked on my blog. I really appreciate the fact that you stopped by to read.
Some of the things I’ve loved about blogging have been Charity Tuesday, Silent Sunday and The Writing Workshop – three things that all made blogging a pleasure for me. The Writing Workshop in fact being the reason why I started in the first place.
In a lot of ways, although I never realised it at the time, my blog was all about one post which began life as a Writing Workshop prompt and ending up changing my life.
I also really enjoy the book reviews and will continue doing those over on ReadandRated.
I don’t know for sure that it’s forever, but it feels like it right now certainly for this blog. Maybe I’ll be back with a different one in the future, maybe not. When I started blogging it was a warm and welcome community and there was an overall feeling of inclusion and acceptance. Sometimes these days it feels more like shark infested waters 😉
I am very happy in life right now and don’t have as much time to devote to blogging and I’m not one to do half a job so I’d rather bow out than blog for the sake of it. Without wishing to jinx my life, I have a wonderful partner, a great job and two happy and healthy children – all of whom deserve more of my time.
Ironically, my blog has the most followers it’s ever had and is getting more hits via search engines than ever so it feels wrong in a way to stop now but it also feels right to stop while it’s doing well rather than let it run down.
Thank you all, for your support.

Sad to see you go but ultimately happy that you have made such a positive decision. Hope to see you back one day in whatever guise that takes x
Thank you x
yes I notice a smattering of nasty bloggers theses days, they may be few and far between but 1 bad apple and all that. I wish you all the luck in the world, enjoy your happiness and long may it last.
Oh lady, I shall miss you. You were one of the first lovely people I found and I feel we have been on this blogging journey together. So glad that you are happy and content, I hope to encounter your words again some day, lots of love Chris xxxx
I’ll still be atweeting and keeping an eye on you lovely lady! xx
Awww sweetie, you’ve got to do what feels right
You’ll be missed xxxx
Thank you – will still be on twitter and following your story! xx
I’ve only just started following so it’s sad to see you go (though of course I’m stalking you on Twitter!) but you do need to do what is right for you and this, you feel is.
I can do nothing but wish the the best in all that you do, from a newbie follower.
Oh no! But I only just discovered you! I’m hoping I don’t ever stumble across the sharks, because so far, I’ve found such support in this community. Blogging is quite the time suck though and I understand your reasons. I just need to manage my time better (see it’s 1am as I write this – I should be in bed!!!). All the best in any future blogs you decide to write. xx
Sad to see you go but you have to do what’s right for you. I hope you return to blogging one day 🙂
Sorry to see you go but glad it’s for good reasons
Oh Lisa, I will be so sorry to see you go and not have your wonderful blogs to read. As I have said before you were one of the first people i met on twitter and the first blog I ever read!! I am very happy for you and wish you all the best in the future. Rosanne x
the very best wishes with whatever you decide to do from now on. I see this blog as a success story with positive posts for everyone and have enjoyed it. Sorry to see it go
