I'm so sorry to have to tell all of you this, but right now for the next few months I need to take a break from my blog, well actually from writing posts, I will still be reading and commenting on all of yours.
I'm going through something that is making it very difficult to blog. I love to blog, oh I love to blog. However, I feel like my blog is not "mine" right now and I feel like I can not write what I want to write about when I want to write about it. I'm so sorry for being so vague in all of this. Hopefully, by the end of summer or early fall I will be able to get back to blogging and perhaps even be able to share why I had to stop.
I have thought about this for a while now, about stopping posts for a while versus just being selective as to what I write about, but I want to right about things and not have to feel as though I'm "editing" my thoughts or feelings. However, as many of you have noticed I have been posting very sporadically. It's getting harder and harder for me to blog, to write what I want. Blogging has been very important to me ever since I started it in May of 2008. I have met many great people through blogging, it has been a way for me to heal, a way for me to share my thoughts, feelings and emotions. I can not even begin to describe to you how my blog has helped me heal. I hate to walk away from it now because I know this blog has helped people who are going through similar stories to what I have gone through. It really does make be sad and to be honest a little upset to stop, but at this point and time I guess I need to do what is best for me and at this particular time has to be to stop posting for a while.
Please know that I am good. I'm in a good place in my life and I'm happy and I worked my ass off to get to the point where I am in my life today. I'm grateful and blessed for what my life was and I'm grateful and blessed to be to where I am today. Nobody can take either away from me.
Thank you to each and every one of you who have given me support, love and encouragement over the last three years. Your kindness and love has meant more to me than you know. I will still be reading and posting on your blogs, just taking a break from mine. Like I said earlier I hope to be back to blogging by early fall. Also, believe you me, I will be remembering all that's going on in my life both good and bad in hopes of sharing it with you in the near future. I hope I don't lose all of my readers and I hope when I get to a point when I can write again you all will be back.
Thanks for everything and I will be back in a few months.

Please take your break, but PROMISE you'll be back. {And I get it, really I do, I've needed and taken an extended break too.} You're in my RSS so I'll be waiting for you!
What ever is going on, it makes me sad that it has come to this! We will miss you but look forward to hearing from you soon. Enjoy your summer!
I would encourage you to keep writing and get your feelings out. Either keep it in a document, or create a different blog that is private and only you can see. That way you don't bottle up your feelings. I blog too, and I can totally relate, as I sometimes feel like a do a whole lot of sugar-coating to keep from being so harsh about how I feel. Hang in there.
Hey Jen,
Hope all is well or will get that way soon. You know how to find me, so let me know if you need anything. I'm here for you whenever!
Love,
K

Hi! I don't think I've left you a comment in a very long time. I hope you decide to come back every so often and give an update. I'll miss reading your blog.
I will definitly miss reading your posts, but will be praying for you every day Jen! Hope all is going well for you hun!
Sending hugs..
Hey woman I have not commented in a while, but I also had to stop blogging. Back when Randy was sick we always made a pact about blogging when we could not longer write what was going on in our life and be honest and truthful we would stop!! Randy ended up passing away in Jan 2009 and I continued blogging until July 2010, then I had to stop!!
I have not gone back I made it completely private and I do post things about my son just for him to have when he is older.
I hope all is well and will check in now and then to see if you are back!!! Good luck!
Jenn, even though we have never met, I have been following your blog for awhile and have gained so much admiration and respect for you! You are an amazing, resilient, courageous, dynamic woman, and I will miss reading your updates. I sincerely hope everything is OK with you! Come back soon!
Jen! I have been following you for years- since 2008. I will be checking back from time to time. It has been a blessing following you through everything. You have put your heart out for everyone, and many of us have found strength in that. Thanks for everything, hope to see you again in the fall!
Jen, I miss your blogging so much. I hope life is treating you well and whatever it is that is making it tough to blog blows over. ((hugs)) -kriss
Thinking of you today! I am praying that you will feel God's real presence in your life.
Meant to post earlier, but just wanted you to know I was thinking about you today. Hoping that this has been a good day for you in remembering Shawn.
I was just thinking about you and wanted you to know that you are missed. I hope things are going great for you and that you will be back to writing soon!
Just want you to know that I hope you come back to blogging soon. I understand and respect why you stepped away from it for a while. Your posts are missed.
Hope you start to blog soon- I miss reading!!!!
I keep checking.....hope you come back soon!!! And....hope all is well with you....miss your updates.
Hugs!!!
I just stopped by after being gone for some time. Hubby passed away on Christmas Eve and I have been in a not so blog happy mood. Grieving and recovery is so difficult as you know. I pray that you are healing as well and will soon feel the pleasure of blgging again. Blessings!
Missing you and hoping things are going well.
Dropped in to see if you are back. I hope this time away is providing you with whatever you need & that you'll be back soon.
I started reading a few weeks ago and started from the beginning. I could not stop reading. You are so amazing and strong and I love your blog and now I am all caught up and I miss reading what you have on your mind! Come back! I hope all is well and you are staying strong.
Hope you come back soon! I miss reading your posts. :)
I miss your blog! Hope you are back to writing soon!
Mindy
