A Goodbye, For Now
It’s been a few weeks now since the Healthy Living Summit, and I’ve had some time to process that experience and some unexpected feelings about blogging that came up during that weekend.
The Summit was great, for the most part. Most of the bloggers I met were lovely, friendly, interesting and intelligent. However, I didn’t realize until I was walking into the elevator to get to the floor of the hotel where the Summit was being held that it might cause some anxiety for me. I don’t do so well in large groups or at parties sometimes. I’d rather be with a smaller group of people, and feel much more comfortable and outgoing in such situations. Sometimes it takes me awhile to meet people, and find others I can relate to when I’m in a large group as well. Thank goodness, by the end of the Summit, (and I mean the end, as in Saturday evening after all the workshops were done) I found a few girls who I fit in with.
Feeling out of place at the Summit made me think about my place in this blogging community. My blog has fallen into that category of “here’s what I ate and how I exercised and everything else I did today”. I guess that happened because I was reading blogs like that at first, but now I’m branching out and I don’t feel like I want to write about my everyday life in such detail anymore. I also feel like I’ve been spending more time than I’d like to writing about my day and not enough time actually living each day. Does that make sense?
I need a break.
I’m taking a hiatus from Strong, Healthy, Fit and may never come back.
I still love writing and blogging I do feel strongly about healthy living, but I don’t think I want to write so much about that anymore. I have some ideas for a new blog, but I just need some time to mull over it. And to do other things.
I just moved, I want to decorate.
I need to spend more time with my piano.
I miss being crafty and creative.
I’ve had a lot of fun writing this blog, and thank you for ever stopping by to read it.
Bye, for now.

I’ve so enjoyed reading your blog- good luck in your crafty endeavors. Hope to see you back someday!
Thank you
I’ve loved reading your blog and will miss it,but what I enjoyed most about it was your wonderful style of writing – which you will carry over into whatever further form of writing you choose to do. Writing a personal blog as you have done is a bravething to do and I am very proud of you. Plus I got some great recipes. You have surpassed your mom in the area of baking althoug I still think my pies are the best!
Bye Annie
Thank you for your positive attitude & posts, yummy recipes and inspiration to ride my bike more! Please let me know if you start up a new blog, your writing style was fun & different & I’ll miss you!

It was such a privilege to meet you at the HLS, Annie. I’m so glad that we were able to connect, even if it was at the end of the summit. I look forward to staying in touch and seeing what unfolds next for you
