"My favorite thing  is to go where I have never been" ~ Diane Arbus

If you have been a faithful reader of this blog, then you know I haven't posted in a very long time.  It isn't that I didn't want to post, but I couldn't post.  This website and this blog came to me at a point in my life when I was ready to test my writing skills, see where it could take me.  And boy did it take me on a journey I could have never expected.

This was  a place where I could write what I wanted the way I wanted.  I did just that.  I did it to some rave reviews from people I had never met, and I did it to some not so kind comments from people I do know. It was a mixed bag of feedback.  They say that every situation is a learning experience, well the situations that came out of writing this were as varied as the subjects. But I have discovered that this blog no longer serves me. I have learned alot about myself and the world I lived in. I am no longer in that world.

My journey took me from the beautiful city of San Francisco, back to the desert of Arizona.  There are many reasons why we do what we do.  I haven't lived here in Arizona in a very long time. There was much apprehension about moving to a place that I thought I let go of long ago.  But the pull of family was long reaching and I felt it was time.  The support from my friends was overwhelming, family was where I needed to be. It was time to move on from my urban family and reconnect with my real family.  So I did just that. Funny enough, it happened organically and that was a meant to be if I ever saw one.

So as I said, this blog no longer serves me.  I have moved on to some amazing things in my life.  I found my true passion and am excited to start school soon.  I left some wonderful memories behind in San Francisco, and the creation of this blog is one of them.  It was there for me when I needed it. I will always be grateful to all of my readers, near and far. I have made some great connections through meeting some of my followers.  Along the way I learned a few things about myself. I will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to share my thoughts, my perceptions of the world around me. Grateful that you came here and read it. But alas, it is time for me to go.  I am still writing, but just not here, and not these types of subjects.  I realize I left no place for you to find me, but I believe if our paths are meant to cross again, they will.

At the request of several readers,  I am leaving this up as an archival place for people to come. I may not have written for several months but I see the stats and I am still garnering new readers everyday.   An honor in and of itself.  Thank you for this opportunity, my writing wings have been spread,  it's time for me to fly.....high.
