Thanks everyone for your kind and encouraging words. I decided it would be better for me to not be online excessively the past couple of days. It’s never easy when you have to disappoint people and while I’m glad that people got to express their feelings, some of it did sting .

I will not be changing the blog name because it’s really been functioning as one of those nonsense names like Super Funky SteamTrain Chicken for a while now. Plus, I have a lot invested in this URL!

Rhea, it was a success in some ways, but as far as figuring out a way to incorporate it into my own goals for my life, I never could find a way to make that happen. This is not to say I am not proud of my work and the community, more that I was never going to feel peacefully happy and accomplished with it, because it wasn’t what I really wanted to do.

Saying “no” is one of the greatest gifts that you can give yourself. There are only so many hours in the day. I understand and support this decision.

Way to go, Tracy!
It’s often much harder to quit something than to stay with it, and I’m glad you’ve taken that step.

Hey if someone can quit being a governor and still somehow save her political career, YOU can quit your forums and remain respected, loved, honored and successful. I admire you for having the courage to do what you knew was needed, even though it was hard. That's a lesson for all. .-= Alisa Bowman´s last blog ..How M&Ms got me a better flight =-.

Tracy,

Consider your back patted and the rest of you hugged.

I’ve seen you struggle with some of the things that are involved with running a forum. You hung in there longer than most.

It certainly wasn’t for a lack of trying.

Good on you for cutting it loose, I mean that.

I apologize for not doing my part to the best of my ability, but I know your decision was based on so much more than that.

How does it feel to have that weight off of your shoulders?

Cheers

George
