See Ya Later,

Hello loyal readers,

Unfortunately I have not been loyal to you. I told myself I would post at least weekly to this blog and I have failed incredibly. I chose to give myself the challenge of running three blogs at once and I fell way short of success. I’m not going to delete this blog yet, but I wanted to apologize for not keeping my promise. I will be dedication my blogging time to my blog, All the Long Places. Check it out here if you’re interested: https://allthelongplaces.wordpress.com/

Best Wishes,

Christie
