Yesterday I sat my pregnant self down on the kitchen floor, let the cabinet knobs press on the back of my neck, and cried off all my mascara. Overwhelm and hormones combined against me and I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I’ve had pressure under my right rib, which I though was a baby, then I thought it was just gas, until it went away after my good cry yesterday and now I know it was just a ball of ugly emotion.
Mr. Denizen told me I should blog when I feel like blogging, which used to sound like a good plan, but the problem is I NEVER feel like blogging anymore. And I know that if I feel like this now that it’s only going to be worse later and the last thing I want is for my creative endeavors to feel like a chore.
With much thought, some sadness, and a pinch of embarrassment I have decided to end The DI Denizen. In the short time that I have had my site I’ve really enjoyed doing it. I love the way the site looks, the projects I’ve created, and the support and response I have from my readers. I have the material to continue blogging, well, forever! But my priorities are wandering elsewhere and I am excited to take this new path.
Alas, I will miss connecting with other people and feeling involved in something exciting. I hope I have inspired you to find your own mix of wit, will, courage and chutzpah!
I’m not losing myself completely in motherhood. I WILL find time to create in a smaller capacity, deep in the corners of my basement, where no baby can find me. If you would like to follow my artistic endeavors please visit me at carajeanmeans.wordpress.com. And I will still keep my Etsy shop going as well.
Farewell!

I’m sorry to see you go :-(. I’ve enjoyed seeing your projects (and especially the humor with which you described everything!), but I can understand that this is a different season for you. I do hope that you’ll continue to write, even if it’s a few years before you have the time and space again.
Oh, and congratulations on your growing family!
