Stepping Back

by Shelly Kneupper Tucker on August 27, 2010

After a very hectic, bittersweet summer I am finding that I need to “re-group.” As Jennifer Yane said, “I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.” With all the stress, the thought had crossed my mind to simply stop blogging and delete This Eclectic Life, but then I came to my senses and realized how much I would miss all of you. Instead, I’m stepping back a bit.

It’s quite likely that I won’t be blogging daily until I get my world in order. I’ve got some posts in mind, but finding time to finish them is my problem. The Share A Square project is going to consume a lot of my time as is marketing storytelling for the coming year. As soon as I can get my act together, I’ll be back to daily posts.

Meanwhile, let me know you are out there (I need a reason to want to write) and I’ll pay a return visit.

I’m out here! I love your thoughts, words and (good) deeds and hope you won’t completely disappear. Write when you can and I’ll watch for you in my reader.

Good luck!

Thank you, Lisa. I won’t go away completely. This blog is too much of my life :twisted: . I’m hoping that a week or two of concentrating mostly on the “real” world will get things back in order! I’m glad to know that your blog is out there. You are a gal after my own heart.

It’s good to take a break and cross those to-do items off your list! You’ve got a lot of friends and fans out here. We’ll keep reading. :)

I appreciate you, Anne. I’d appreciate you even more if you’d come on over and help me get this stuff done :twisted: . I don’t like having too much on my plate!

I’m still here, and I’ll keep looking for (and forward to) your posts.

Shelly Kneupper Tucker August 28, 2010 at 6:23 am

I’m glad of that, Van … and I always look forward to YOURS.

Yoo Hoo!!! Leaping up and down in Washington!!!! How will I know all about Texas if you disappear. You don’t think I would trust those people in Austin do you?

Have a good rest and come back when ready.

Shelly Kneupper Tucker August 28, 2010 at 6:24 am

Jamie, you know all about everything! And, I would think that YOU would trust “those people in Austin.” From what I know of you, your carefree spirit would fit right in. You’d make a great Austinite.

Delete This Eclectic Life? What kind of thought is that?? It sounds like a week hit you all at once, my friend!!! Blogging breaks are good! Just don’t disappear on us! ;)

A few months hit me all at once. I probably can’t stand to go away, my friend.

I will miss you, but I certainly understand the pull of a hectic life. I’ve been having the same thoughts as I expand into other areas, but fear I’d regret letting go completely. I have so appreciated your thoughts as I began blogging in January without knowing the first thing. You’ve been an inspiration to me. I’m so glad I tripped over This Eclectic Life that fateful day (in February, I think), and await your return when calmer times allow. Cheers to you in your storytelling adventures!

You are too kind, Joy. Indeed, I’m glad you tripped over me, too … but I hope it didn’t hurt! I’ll be in and out, but I’m not even going to worry about writing daily anymore. It’s become too much :shock:

Shelly Kneupper Tucker September 2, 2010 at 3:13 pm

I’ll be around, Joy. So kind of you to think I’ve been an inspiration. You have been one to me! You almost make me want to cook …. almost! :twisted:
