hey there

'member me?

i'm going to be taking a bit more of a break here,
but just wanted to check in and let all of you
oh-so-kind souls
know that i'm okay.

really.

life just hit me a bit hard this past month,
and it's still packing a bit of a punch.
just gimme another week or two....i'm tough. sorta.

i'm working on lining up some really amazing guest bloggers for you,
and will be re-posting some of my most popular posts
that you might have missed the first time around...
so i do hope you'll pop back in.
 

i will be back.

with love and gratitude...

  31. Don't worry, Anne, I have not been blogging that much lately either. Life has been busy and I have just not had the time to devote to my blog like I used to. Family matters have taken precedence, but in a good way. I have had to spend a lot more time with my elderly parents, but wouldn't take anything for those precious memories. I am praying for you and will be here whenever you return. Hope your photography is coming along well. Love & blessings from NC!

  47. whatever it is giving you such a hard time... someone, somewhere, understands. and for those of us who may not understand, it doesn't mean we care any less.

    i've had a tough fall/winter season myself so i can't tell you how genuinely i hope things get brighter for you.

    many prayers and hugs sent your way.

  49. So sorry you've had a hard month. I'll add you to my prayer list Anne.
    I just did a post about my daughter looking for a vintage dress for a wedding she'll be in this summer, and then I saw the most beautiful one on your header. Do you have any special places to look for these?
    Blessings,
    Marcia

  50. I understand... I'm only here with "one foot in the door" and that's it, because sometimes life makes it hard to be fully committed... I often wonder if I should be committed, but that's another story. By the way, I loved the repost of "An Odd Little Thing"... made me smile!

    Anyway, I hope you are having a healing, peaceful break. And, until you return... peace and hugs!
