The Internet Is a Wonderful Thing

Dear Friends,
For those of you that have noticed that I have not posted lately, I feel I need to give a bit of an explanation.  Some of you may have noticed that I took the Faithbooking For All blog down, as well.

I love the internet.  I love that it provides me with a way to share with people that I will likely never meet. What I do not love is that it also empowers some people to say things that they probably would not say in person.  And sometimes what people say hurts.  It could start as a stabbing type of a pain and then grow into a niggling/festering doubt that calls into question my ability, my motives, my efforts and my artistry.

So I am taking a break for a bit and will post again when my mojo has returned and my skin has toughened.

As far as the Faithbooking For All blog, it may go up again when/if I have the energy to provide the content that I want to provide and figure out how to positively deal with the negativity that my efforts seemed to have attracted.

Thank you for your well wishes and the emails that I received inquiring about my whereabouts.  For the 99.9999999...% of the people out there.... I am eternally thankful and grateful for you.

All the best,
Beverly

  1. I'm so sorry to here about the nasty comments. I hate when I read them and don't understand why people do not use manners. As well as "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything. So sad.... I hope you continue blogging. I enjoy reading yours so much. Hope you have a God filled day....

  6. I'm so sorry to hear that there are such horrible people in the world. I just discovered your blog and it's a shame a few nuts can spoil things for everyone else.
