My first official blog post was 15.5 years ago on 2/14/08. My first official post at this URL after some blog shuffling, when I was resurrecting The Zen Leaf, was nine years ago today, on 8/14/14. I’m still honestly not sure I won’t regret this decision later, but I entered a new phase of life a year ago. I’ve felt for quite some time that it’s time for me to fully commit to that new direction, and let some old parts of my life pass quietly into the past. Much of the last year, I’ve spent culling social media down, removing extraneous things that no longer bring joy or connection, and evaluating where I want to go next. So this will be my last post here.
The blog itself will stay up at least until next July, because I’ve paid for the URL that long. I’m also still on some social medias, where I talk about books and cats and photography and health and pretty much all the stuff I talk about here anyway. So if you haven’t already and would like to, here is where you can find me:

Thank you to all of you who kept reading and commenting and such over the years. Love you all.

A lot of our original group are leaving the blogs. I’ve been considering it, too, or starting a completely new one with a completely different purpose (or somewhat different?) It’s hard to say goodbye, though, even though I’m 90% off of social media. I’ve been very near to even getting rid of my cell phone entirely, though, so I can’t say I don’t understand the need to say goodbye to certain things. I’m trying not to do anything too drastic right now, though, because I’ve been in a hyperemotional/depressive state lately, and I know that’s not a great time to make important decisions.

I don’t think I’ll ever fully leave social media. It’s been a lifeline over the years for me. I’m sorry you haven’t been well, though – I hope things can improve for you.
