The Joy Of Gossip Is On Hiatus
Parting is such sweet sorrow… at least for now.
For those of you that have followed me this year, you know how terribly rough it has been. In February of this year, I lost my best friend… my mother. Things just haven’t been the same since, and I can’t imagine they will be ever again.
I’ve continued with The Joy Of Gossip almost out of some sort of obligation. I had big plans for it at the end of last year, but after the loss of my mother I just have really struggled finding the site to be something I enjoy. It’s become more work than anything, and I’m sure you can all understand that more work isn’t really what I need right now.
One day I probably will enjoy writing again, but right now, I’m just having a hard time keeping this up and spending the amount of time on it that it needs. Priorities have shifted this year, and right now, I think I’m going to leave the celebrity drama to the celebrities themselves.
If I’m going to move forward from the loss of my mother, and work to find a new normal, I need to give myself time to heal. I need to focus my time and energy on things that are bringing me enjoyment. As I write this today, I’m not even sure exactly what that is. However, I think that taking a break from the site will give me some much needed time to help figure that out.
Thank you to everyone who has visited the site, and supported me this past year. Let’s keep in touch on Twitter and Tumblr, which I’ll still be regularly checking.
Best wishes to you all.
