Hello my friends,
This will be the last post in my blog - I feel that it run its course and it's time for me to move on. I'll probably have another web presence in the future, and quite possibly another blog as I do enjoy this form very much. I don't know yet, I'll see how it goes. I want to thank you for a wonderful, joyful journey together! I'm wishing you all the best both in your creative endeavors and your life which is, to me, the ultimate form of art. Imagine, believe and create!
With love,
Natalia

Thank you for your warmest words and wishes, my dear Monica! I too miss you already! Hope we can chat again some time, it's a small world! Hugs! :)
DeleteI sad this is your last post. I know I've not commented for a while and just when I'm catching up with my blogs I land on this post, especially as I've always enjoyed reading your blog having found you via Sylvia at 40+ style. I've loved following your style and stories, your love of colour and your surroundings. But life changes doesn't it? It doesn't stay still and some things come with us on the journey, evolve or just fall away for whatever reason.
ReplyDeleteWherever you're journeying onto next, I wish you well. Please let us know where it takes you as I know there are many who would love to be even a small part of that adventure.
I am so grateful for your heartfelt comment! Yes, sometimes we just have to move on in life. It's the feeling of sisterhood I will miss the most, I feel so privileged to experience it and share it with you!
DeleteWhat a shame - you've been such a positive and supportive presence in blogland, Natalia. Wisjing you love and luck for your next adventures! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Curtise! I am glad that we've met online, and I sure will keep the warmest feelings in my heart about getting to know you!
DeleteI've been at a loss of words for the last week since reading the headline-thinking goodbye was just a pause. You are such a gracious and talented woman and will be missed in words and pictures. Best wishes for you, Justin, and Anya. Your friendship on line has been wonderful and someday I hope to see you at a writers conference, both of us doing exactly what we want with our words.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind wishes, Sam, you really touched me! I am looking forward to seeing you at a writer's conference or book signing! We sure can do it! :)
DeleteNatalia, I missed you in my feed and come over to find your goodbye. Life moves us on and we must move with it. I completely understand. I hope you know how much your warm wise words have meant to me.
ReplyDeleteYou have been a joyous presence, jumping out of the screen before me, full of life and laughter and your own inimitable take on things. Thankyou for your comments on my writing. And thanks for sharing your work with us, especially as it was in a foreign tongue. Although honestly I could never tell!
We will meet again when it's time.
All the best my lovely friend. Kisses! And say goodbye to Justin as well. xo Jazzy Jack
I am so happy that we met online and became friends. Thank you for such wonderful heartfelt words, my dear! You warmed my heart. Justin's too. I do believe that some day, we'll meet again. Just as you said - when it's time. Hugses and Much love!
DeleteI sent you an e-mail but I'll give you a public goodbye as well. I was so surprised I didn't know what to write here. Your warmth and generous spirit have been much appreciated, your willingness to leave long and thoughtful comments and to delve into different topics has been such a pleasure to experience. Your writing, your personal style and your positive outlook are all inspirational. Much love and best wishes. Missing you already, Natalia. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh I miss your warm and wise comments and lovely spirit too, Shawna! Here is to new encounters, on and off line!
DeletePS And once again - I just love the portrait you painted of me, looking at the screen and loving it now! All the very best, my dear!

ReplyDeleteI understand!! I frequently question whether or not to continue blogging. It's wonderful, but then sometimes too much. I have made some great friends, however!! I'm coming to Portland OR over Thanksgiving to spend time with my son and his family. Please email me (jeanvox@hotmail.com) if you think there might be a possibility of meeting up somewhere. I would love to give you a hug. XXOO
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog! I will have to peruse it and see all I missed. The title first grabbed me and I would like to use it in one form or another for a chap book I am making (writing) for my family. I am not a published writer but love to write short stories. Good luck in your future endeavors. i will check out Write and Link. Sorry to have missed this.
ReplyDeleteIf you decide to open a new blog, please let me know, I would love to keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to see you go, I enjoyed your blog very much,
