It's Not Goodbye

Maybe it's been obvious. Maybe it hasn't. I don't love blogging anymore. I can't explain what exactly has changed, but I can say that I feel frustrated and sad when I think about blogging. I feel uninspired. Maybe it's this space. Maybe it's where I am in my life right now. I can't pinpoint it, but I do know after having this blog for almost 5 years, I don't feel all that connected to it right now. Don't get me wrong, I feel incredibly connected to the people who come to this space and the friends who I have met through being a blogger. I love the idea of blogging, but I almost feel like I need to start fresh. Not now, but I can't imagine saying goodbye to blogging forever. I just need to take a break. 

I am working on our business website and plan on connecting a different kind of blog to that space, so maybe that will feel different. But for now, I'm not saying goodbye, but I am going to say farewell to this space for an indefinite amount of time. 

Please keep in touch. you can always email me. tumbleweeds.shop@gmail
say hi on twitter @tumbleweedshc
and of course I'm on IG and Vine - @tumbleweedshc / Beca and Doug (vine)

I love you all so very much. I hope that this break is short and reflective. I hope to stay in touch with the people who I have come to know through blogging, and I hope that I get to know more of you. 

Thank you for being a part of my life for all this time.

Love,
Beca

ps you can follow my #52pies project on instagram, since I hope to keep up with that too. 

pps I haven't had a moment to talk with Maggie Pate about her plans yet.

  7. I totally can relate and understand! And you know what, as much as I will miss the Tumbleweeds blog, if it's not something you love anymore then it's not a reflection of yourself...and your followers should understand that! I will be perfectly content seeing your daily photos on IG (I go on that more than blogger anyways!) and maybe I'll join Vine, who knows! Also...I'll still continue to support Tumbleweeds regardless! I love me some wood veneer sunnies :)

    I wish you guys all the best no matter what you decide to do...blogging or no blogging! You guys are great!!

  36. I think everything typed was very logical. But, what about this?
    what if you added a little content? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a title to maybe grab people's attention?
    I mean "It's Not Goodbye" is kinda plain. You ought to peek at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create news headlines to get viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about what you've written.
    Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

  38. First of all I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I've had trouble clearing my mind in getting
    my thoughts out. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure
    out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Thank you!
