Thank you for the emails enquiring on my whereabouts and general well-being. I do appreciate them.
I'm not sure what I am going to be doing with this blog. It's causing me angst lately. I feel like my posts are unfocused and that I'm not spending the time I want to create interesting content.
I am going to take a break for the month of August and then decide if I want to revamp it or just pack it in.
I truly appreciate all the support and encouragement and friendship I've received over the past six years.
I hope everyone is having a splendid Summer.
Andrea, I know what you mean, but I think you are quite focused. Your blog focuses on the exquisite things in life. I’m feeling unfocused because my blog is half about food, half about life. I’m “rewiring” soon and hope to be more focused. I hope you keep blogging – I would miss you if you stopped.
Oh, and I was just reading your book reviews. We are often on the same page here.
I would truly miss your beautiful blog. I love “your view” of the finer things the world has to offer. I love the Friday presentations.
I also would miss your blog. I especially look forward to your Friday postings. I hope you have an enjoyable break.
Oh the beach looks wonderful. I haven’t been in that area for a while. I totally understand about the blog. Good content is hard, and I often feel like I have the same problem. Saw this discussion elsewhere.. I’ll miss blogs if they start to go away.
I would miss your blog. I love the way you curate your links. But I understand about the blog angst. I feel that way often – unfocused and unsure. I do hope blogs continue because I think they offer a lot.
Hugs and Kisses!
Hi Andrea, Was hoping you just suddenly went on a wonderful vacation. Like everyone, I would really miss your blog. I’d never find the time to unearth the wonderful pics and links you do. Recently visited a blog that gets 100’s of comments for every post and really felt blog angst but then remembered that this is the rarity not the norm. Hope some time off helps!
I’m feeling the angst too. Sorry I’m such a lurker, I’ve been concentrating on actually doing instead of watching others do. Maybe that’s part of the problem with blogging? We’ve been at it a while haven’t we? Still, I’m just not sure I’m ready to let go yet. Hope you hang in there as long as possible. I always love your posts:>)
I always enjoy your posts, and I like the fact that there’s a patchwork of topics. Perhaps cornucopia would be a better word than patchowrk? 🙂 I feel like I know your life a little, through your blog, and I don’t think it would feel that way if you wrote only on one aspect or were very focused. I shall miss you if you stop. That said, you must do what feels right for you. I wish you all the best, whatever you decide.
Regards
Sue
Chiming in here about the Friday Favorites…I look forward to them every week and I hope you keep them up…have a great summer!
You deserve some time off, however, I certainly hope you continue with your blog because you WILL be missed!
I hope you won’t go away for too long! Have a lovely break, and we’ll see you when you get back.
Sorry that there’s angst! You’ve created a beautiful and highly entertaining space here, and I always enjoy visiting.
Slowing down on posting and re-thinking the direction of a blog is something that it seems like all bloggers do now and again, so I hope you don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I’m looking forward to whatever comes next!
I keep checking back to see if you are posting again. I sure do miss your Friday Favorites.
