Extended Hiatus

This is a post I never saw coming at the end of last year thats for sure. I've sadly decided to take an extended break from my blog as my heart just isn't in it anymore. I've got a bit going on personally and I'm feeling a little drained and uninspired. Most evenings I sit at my computer to try and compile something constructive and It just doesn't come. I hope I'll snap out of it soon enough, but in the mean time, I apologize for not keeping up with everyone's amazing posts. I do truly miss you all.

    Anna, you will be missed but I totally understand. Take all the time you need.Inspiration comes when you least expect it. I'm thinking about you and your country with love and prayers.

    Don't be gone too long now!
    When things are tough, blogland can sometimes be a great release.
    Take care

    I know how you feel Anna...funny but i was just thinking about you on the way home and thought i must email to see if you are ok as you have not posted for a while. Have a break and you will probably (i hope) come back to your blog when you are feeling more renewed & refreshed. Take care though i miss your beautiful updates. Mel xxx

    Oh, I was just getting to 'know' you! But I understand--feeling a bit scattered, unaccomplished, discouraged, etc. myself lately. Hope you'll come back to it in time and meantime, hope you take care of yourself.

    Hi Anna

    It's only natural to feel burnt out everynow and again, glad you've done the sensible thing and decided to take a break, I'm sure your creative juices will come flowing back to you in no time at all. Your blog is one of my favourites

    I sincerely hope the personal problem gets resolved, don't forget you've got loads of blogging buddies out there if you need a little TLC!!

    thinking of you

    Hi Anna - I know I don't comment very often {very bad I know} but I want you to know that I check out your blog all the time. I absolutely love what you post and I'll definitely miss your beautiful posts! BUT - I totally understand how you feel because I too feel the same way at times....there is so much pressure to post beautiful things all the time! Take a well deserved break and we will all be here waiting for your return! And I'm with Judy if you are ever in Brizzie we'd all love to catch up with you!

    I will miss you Anna, but I think all of us bloggers understand. Sometimes it is difficult to be inspired when other things in our lives get complicated. I know that there have been times when I have felt that way! We all do this for as long as it feels good to us. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Anna. I do hope that you will eventually find your inspiration again.

    Take the time you need to deal with your personal life. I am just getting through a major life change and taking a break from blogging was an important part of helping me focus on my family. Blogging is fun, but shouldn't be an extra "burden" in one's life. Just please don't delete your blog! I was just introduced to it and want to spend time reading your posts!

    Hi Anna,

    We'll definitely miss all of your gorgeous inspirations but it's important to take time out for one's self. Being drained certainly puts a damper on inspiration and blogging does take a huge of amount time. Take care of yourself Anna! I hope to see you come back later or even popping back in when inspiration does strike.

    Hugs,
    Karen Olivia

    Aw what's wrong with you and Anna?
    Now don't make me come over there and shake you up and make you laugh.
    Really, I hope you're okay.
    You've given so very much to us all for a very long time.
    But selfish me hopes that ol' devil blogger feeling lures you back to us sooner than later.
    Much, much love
