Seasons are a good thing.
Living here in the desert, I'm thankful for seasons. I'd hate for our scorching summer temps to be a constant thing and I always look for the reprieve of our lovely fall season.
So, as seasons come and go - so do good things and after much prayer and contemplation and discussion with my husband, I've decided to put this blog - Simple Home Living into a coast mode.
Coasting means that once in a blue moon I'll have a subject or two that is churning of which I'll write about. For example - I do have one brewing - I say brewing - because it's been one that has been incredibly painful to my heart. The subject is about a long term friendship and relationship that has crumbled with no resolve because of a refusal to meet for coffee and at least talk and place truth on the table. It will take some time to write about this because I'm still processing, shaking my head and working through the pain of this "walk away" friend. Amazing that that happens, isn't it?
So, as I've expressed, this blog will coast along without my obvious presence. The reason I'm not closing it out completely is because there are still many who visit this blog due to resources for women on marriage, the home front and other good stuff. I want this to continue to be just that - a resource place for women to draw upon for help.
Often I've referred to La Maison et le Jardin and its lighter touch. I have thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity and lack of pressure to post daily life there. That will continue.
Also, periodically, I've mentioned Cactus Road and have shared its evolution from a place where "church" met in a house on dirt into what has beautifully become a farm where life and community are happening and in constant motion. In light of that transformation, Michael and I have been journaling our journey through this wonderful metamorphosis and in time will blog that experience on another blog spot.
Thanks for your support and understanding - in this - my season of life.
