New Adventure.

Hello long lost friend, I know that it's been awhile.

I have come to say thank you and good bye.

You were created almost five years ago as I was seeing my way through a transition in my life. I had no idea how it would turn out but because of all of my sweet friends who I was leaving behind, and their interest in following my journey into the next chapter, you were born.

I would come back to you every once in awhile when I was inspired or feeling creative, but because my life was so full with starting my own business, living in a different city, and then falling in love, I struggled to spend as much time with you as you or I had hoped. Plus, I always struggled with the idea of being just another blog hangin' out on this world wide web of ours. Do I self promote? Don't I? What is my intention for this space? Can I do it justice and be wholly present with you? And while I still have friends that ask about you and tell me that they miss us, my focus was just never clear.

And then six weeks ago life changed a bit (thanks solely to you).

I live in a town that offers a unique, wonderful, only-one-in-the-state, progressive newspaper. The editor found me, reached out, and a week later we were meeting to discuss my company and its mission statement (as it is a progressive company) and potentially becoming a contributor to the paper. But divinely, the Universe had a different idea in mind. Through the course of the conversation I mentioned you, my blog. I told him that if he wanted an idea of my written voice to check you out. And, dare I say, once he did it was love.

So now, I am a monthly columnist for the Community Alliance and my column is entitled Tiffany's Take: One Girls Journey Through Conscious Living (http://fresnoalliance.com/wordpress/?p=10431)I must admit, I feel a bit like Carrie Bradshaw with a broader subject matter and less fabulous clothes.

So here we are. I have created a new web site (www.TiffanysTake.com) to house my columns and any additional posts, which means it is time to say thank you and good bye to you and this space.

You have served me in a way that I could have never imagined. You gave me an outlet to laugh and reflect, to rant, to ponder, and to be wholly present. And because of you an entirely new outlet has opened up for me and my future.

I love you and I love the energy and opportunity you have brought to my life. I am immeasurably grateful.
