All good things must end....

After six years of blogging, I am writing my final post here on ArtsyMama. It is with deep gratefulness in my heart I am finishing this chapter. I have written 1096 posts and taken thousands of photos to share on this blog. Thank you for being such an amazing audience and supporter. You have watched my children grow from infants to toddlers now to school age kids. You have participated in swaps, blog parties and book launches. You have been my cheering section. Many of you that know me personally know that this has been a difficult fall for me. My children are now in first and second grade and having them both at school all day leaves a big gaping hole. I have had to figure out how to spend my days while they are gone and figure out who I have become in this new chapter of my life. I know that I will always need a creative outlet and avenue to express myself and I'm not sure what form that will take. I just don't feel that this is the most authentic place for me to share right now. I want to know what it feels like to be fully present and not have to make every little event "presentable" to blog about. I know that I will continue to follow the seasons and I'm sure I will capture it through the lens of my camera. I will post on my 365 blog a photo a day until the end of the year. I do plan to continue to archive each post of this blog and you'll find the topics on the right side bar. Life changes, whether we want it to or not. Children grow up. I am going to stop, take a deep breath and embrace whatever it is that comes next. Thank you....
