I know…I’m kind of strange…okay…a lot strange…but…I sort of get attached to things…and…when…it’s time to replace them…I feel…guilty…like…I’m hurting their feelings…
Case in point…I bought a Townie…a cruiser type of bicycle…and…rode it for a couple of years…going places…and riding distances…that were fairly noteworthy…but…finally…one day…it was time…to get a fancy Trek road bike…and…I love it…but…for the longest time…I felt guilty every time I took it out for a spin…and left the Townie in the garage…
See…I wasn’t kidding when…I said I was strange…
So…anyway…here’s the deal…most of you have seen my beautiful new website…I love it…Rebbekah White and Kim Mutch Emerson…did a great job with it…I think it really captures…my personality…and Bertha’s spirit…perfectly…
There’s just one thing…I feel guilty…when I visit the old blog…I feel like I’m being disloyal to it or something…and…I’ve been double posting…which is really kind of ridiculous…if you think about it…
I’ve said it was…because…I have some friends…who have subscribed to the old blog via email…and…the new site doesn’t have that option at this point…but…Bertha…says…it goes deeper than that…
She…says…it’s the blog…that got me started writing again…that connected me with some wonderful friends…that helped me find my voice again…and…that’s why it is hard to leave it…
And…I suppose she’s right…I am connected to that blog…but…I’ve made a choice…to continue growing into…the writer…the person…that I am…and…just like with the bicycle…it’s time for the next step…
So…this will be my last double post…for some of you…your last post via email…for now at least…I hope you’ll still come by and visit…I’ll miss you if you don’t…
Oh…and…all the old posts are archived here…so…you can still find your favs…right on the new site…
And…when I think about it…it really wasn’t such a difficult move…no boxes…no moving trucks…just lots of fond memories…to rearrange…
Jane
And so it will…a new page, a new chapter, and a new Bertha ? Nah…we can take only so much change before an uprising erupts !
Good for you, take the past, mix it with the present, re-arrange a bit and ta-da…the future awaits.
Love you Jane…adore you Bertha 🙂
Bea…maybe not a new Bertha…just some new Bertha antics…that should work! I am looking forward to the future and what it may bring. Thank you for your continued love and support…it is returned more than you’ll ever know!
