Over and Out

This is one of those posts that is kind of hard to write, but not really. See, after close to a year, this is my last post here at Healthbolt. Feels weird, but it feels right.
Instead of getting all sappy and thanking you profusely for reading my posts for the past several months (I do thank you, by the way), I wanted to leave you with a theme to digest. Since this is a health and well-being blog, I’m going to sing the praises of making choices that make you happy.
Once upon a time, dishing up the latest and greatest health info served with a side of wise-ass editorial commentary made my heart sing. But recently, I have realized my priorities were changing and that suddenly my heart sang a little more quietly. And finally, it came close to a whisper. And that’s when I knew it was time to pack it in, because you, the readers, deserve so much more.
I’ve come to believe that while I have an intense love for health topics, I prefer reading about them, and letting someone else do the writing. Sites and topics where I can be sassy and opinionated are more my speed right now as I navigate the wonders of rearing a young family. Somehow the latest health scares don’t crack me up, but laughter is precisely what I need as I face a 5:45 a.m. wakeup call each day to get the snorters off to school.
So, long story short (well, it’s not really all that short, now is it?), I’ve made the choice to do what makes me happy. And I would rally you to do the same. Because no matter how hard it is to say goodbye to something that you know well and once had a huge love for, it’s not nearly as hard as not having room in your life for the things that matter most to you.
Follow your hearts, readers, and you will always get it right. Always.
Thanks for everything. And a huge thanks to Liz for being the most fabulous co-blogger a girl could ask for. She’ll be staying on here and will continue to give you the latest and greatest in the health world. I’ll miss you, but I know you’re in good hands.
And I’ll still be around. You can find me at my newest gig, writing the Soap Operas site at About.com. I also write in the Beauty & Style channel here at b5media – at Snarkstress and Teen Style Lounge. Stop by and say “hi”.
I wish you all the best, every one of you.
Liberty
Best to you Liberty … I’m all about making choices that work for you. Life is too short to spend any time or energy doing something that doesn’t fill you up with the good stuff.
XOXO
You will be missed, but I absolutely support your decision for moving on. I have done the same thing in my own life and have only had positives come from it! Good luck in your other ventures!
Hey Liberty, it’s not going to be the same around here without you. Missing you already…
But am happy and thrilled with your new plans and life direction.
Don’t be a stranger here at Healthbolt.
cheers,
Liz
We’ll miss you Liberty!
I’m very happy for you that you chose to do what you really want to do instead of doing the same old thing that you’re used to. It was great reading your posts on healthbolt and I’m sure I’ll see more of your writing elsewhere. Thanks for all the great info!
