I hope you have had a chance to regroup and rethink your direction. I know it can be a tough choice whether or not to continue on, and to question why it is that you are doing this. I decided to quit after 3.5 years of blogging, and it was the right choice for me. One that I did not regret. I do hope that you will continue on, even if you decide to change direction. For me, the issues became such that I could not continue, with my 3rd child being born at that time, and now having a 4th, plus homeschooling. But the tough part for me was feeling like I had to 'keep up' somehow, like a competition or something. Hoping to see you back here again soon ;o) xo MelissaMelissahttp://www.raminthethicket.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218602897331908767.post-51066803548920350092010-06-12T16:41:29.948-04:002010-06-12T16:41:29.948-04:00Dear NIcole
You're doing the best thing you co...Dear NIcole<br />You're doing the best thing you could do now; take a break and think about how you really want to go on. Your Blog is amazing and I never had the impression, there was a lack of insiration, no, not at all. But I often feel exactly like you; spending time tiping about things in my life, when I actually felt the need to MAKE something, to experience life instead of talking about it... Maybe you'd feel better, with kind of a plan? Are there days you could fix to create a post? Some regular posts like soulemamas friday pic or things like that, which won't take such a lot time and less thinking than a whole "perfect" post? Do what feels best for you; blogging is a way to express and to connect, to get some encouragement and applause, ideas and new ways to look at things- but life is what' s happening around you right now. And at the end that's what counts most, doesn't it?<br />I wish you much wisdom and a really good break!<br />Bora from Switzerlandkirschkernzeithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020814361362613419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218602897331908767.post-9655137544013988372010-06-10T12:50:41.994-04:002010-06-10T12:50:41.994-04:00way to go Nicole~ we love you for it.

The pull to be everywhere is intense this time of year, and I think that taking time off is very important. Blogging seems to be a very up and down activity, where at times it makes such perfect sense, and it feels so right, and other times it just feels like something that has to be kept up with. I hope that the time away is fun and simple and just a joy.<br />Be wellHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712219007358643623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218602897331908767.post-7293626776105464192010-06-07T06:19:06.011-04:002010-06-07T06:19:06.011-04:00Enjoy your break.
