Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I’ll miss you
Until we meet again!

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard! ! ~ Carol Sobieski ~ Thomas Meehan
Dear Living Winsomely readers, I wanted to share with you that I am saying goodbye to this site, but with the words, that ring true in my heart, “Good bye does not mean forever.”
For those of you who have read “And the body just keeps on giving,” vignette , then you know that during my time of healing both physically and spiritually, I began this website with such an excitement and joy. I can not tell you how much having this blog site has been a blessing for me .
It started with a few, and has grown in leaps and bounds! 🙂
To look back in February of 2013 (when we started the site) we began with only a handful of readers. This year Living Winsomely has grown “in leaps and bounds.” 🙂 Because my husband owns the server that my site is on, he keeps me informed of the amount of readers coming to Living Winsomely. We both have been in awe at the growth. I am amazed at all of the different countries that are visiting the site, as well as how many readers here in America we have. I never dreamed Living Winsomely would have so many wonderful visitors. I can’t tell you how happy that makes me and how honored I feel. It blesses me so much that you, the readers have enjoyed this site and the writings. Your comments to me over this last year and a half have blown me away. (In a good way.) 🙂 Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me, encouraging me and for all your kind words of affirmation, even for those of you who told me I had spelling errors 🙂 (I know…I don’t have an editor and have tried to catch all my mistakes, but know they are out there.) 🙂
I have a new writing commitment that will be taking up all my time, thus I have to stop writing on Living Winsomely for now. Its at this time, I wish I would have written much shorter blogs that didn’t take a week to complete, (so I could just write one up quickly whenever I had an hour to spare as I am staring this new writing commitment .) 🙂 But as we all know, I write kind of long blogs. (OK, really long blogs.) 🙂 I still have a few I have started and hope to come back when this commitment is over and put those up, with new ones… I will miss writing on this site immensely, as well as you, the readers.
~~~~~ LIVING WINSOMELY~~~~~
I will be leaving the site up for all of you, the old and new readers as well as the readers who will come in the future. For those of you who have written in that you read the site daily and are on the lookout each week for a new blog, I am sorry…Maybe you can go back and read one of the old ones as you may have already forgotten it by now. 🙂 (Just joshing.) I did just post my last blog for now, “The Joyous wedding of the old and the new.” I tried something new with adding a very classy (as well as classic,) music video. (I hope you enjoy it.) 🙂 I know there are a tremendous amount of sites on the internet that are exemplary.
My hope and heart when I began Livingwinsomely (and still is,) that you, the readers would be blessed with ideas of how to bring more beauty, fulfillment, joy, felicity and winsomeness to your everyday lives.
I will have to turn the sites comment/ reply ability off as I am currently receiving about 250-300 spam comments a day and it takes a lot of my time to go through them all , especially when my time now will be fully dedicated to my new writing commitment. My computer program will hold all the replies that have already been made, they just won’t be showing up on the site, when I turn that service off.
“Home”for the holidays!
I wish you all the very best and again, thank you so very much for reading, coming to the site, sending me such wonderful comments and for being such a great audience to write to… The site will stay up so enjoy!
I may occasionally sneak over to Living Winsomely and change the blogs in the main section according to the season. Especially At Christmas time. 🙂 One of my all time favorite vignettes of Living Winsomely is “Home” for the holidays! (I will take that tour myself once again, this Christmas.) 🙂
If you have any questions, please know my “CONTACT US” icon at the bottom of the ‘Living Winsomely’ Home page, is still open. (That comes directly to my e-mail address.)
May God bless you all and thank you so very much.
Sincerely, Susan, Kit and Grantham too.
“A heart full of thanks TO YOU! “
