Lisa, I wish you well. Definitely you should spend your time and energy on what excites you. I find crochet to be totally fascinating and engrossing so I can relate to your new direction. Enjoy!

LJP,
Although we haven’t had the chance to interact much, I’m sad to see you will not be posting more as you seem to be a beloved member of this community and I have come to like this forum very much. I sincerely hope your decision had nothing do to with our interaction in my latest WIW post. I know your concerns came from a good place and I apologize if at any time I came across as rude.

Oh gosh no . This is a purely personal issue .

Elegant tributes, Lisa, for an elegant woman. May the power of now be your guide.

I'll miss your lively, lovely posts and comments but can understand where you are coming from. I've been without internet for six weeks, because of camping in Yellowstone NP, and I must say I really didn't mind being offline. I've read a lot of books, hiked most days, wore old hiking gear, and have had a lovely time.

Best wishes always. Enjoyed your posts and will miss them.

Oh! I just saw this. LJP you will be so much missed! I loved our commiserating over fashion and style conundrums

I understand what you are saying. And, I will miss reading your posts and replies... Your unique style and viewpoint, and ability to communicate in an open, honest manner are invaluable. I ALWAYS look for your posts, and if I don't see any for awhile, I *SEARCH*! Sometimes I feel the "noise" as well---and have to tune out when I realize it simply doesn't apply to me, or help me in any way. I am still searching for a niche which is tailored to my particular lifestyle: size, age, interests, style, etc. And, I get a lot of clues/leads here! But, finding what speaks to YOU amidst a lot of noise is a task at times, and muddles the waters. You ROCK, Lisa!

LJP- Well I will certainly miss your posts, I always look for them!
I'm not an active poster on here due to some lifestyle changes and travel lately. Having said that I do read the blog and forum posts as I can.
Enjoy your input very much, good luck and hope you can pop in now and again:))

I'm back!

And I suspect you will be back too, LJP

Feel welcome to pop back in when the mood strikes you. Fabbers do that frequently - after years of absence! - and it works well.

Thank you for loyally commenting on my daily blog posts for years. You are one of the few to do that, and I appreciated it! I much enjoyed hearing your daily fashion and style thoughts on my daily fashion and style thoughts. Great chat!

I'm with Inge on complimenting you about your innate sense of style. You always look fabulous, and that's that! You lucky fish.

Wishing you well with your new pursuits. They look creative and fun! Enjoy!
