Well damn.  Yea, she had a great blog going..  too bad she didn't just leave the articles up to live on..  better to burn out than to fade away I guess.

Squirrelers, she told me about her previous blogging stints also, and that this was like her 3rd blog or something.  I wonder if we will ever be informed if she decides to write a fourth blog someday?

Poor Aloysa.  I hope everything is ok.  Being overwhelmed is awful.  I just don't know why she just completely throws in the towel instead of taking a break.  People do that all the time when they have babies and such.  She could have easily gotten a bunch of guest posts from all of us if she needed to.


Yeah, I'm sure she could have gotten enough guest posts to hold the site until she had more time to think about it. Who knows…maybe she'll read this thread and see how much we want her to come back, and do it!
 


Yeah, it's bizarre…   she actually posted a guest post from me a day or two before this all went down…

This thread really made me think, and I echo all the previous comments. I believe each one of us will go through challenges and time constraints over our lives. After all of the work a blog takes, it certainly is important not to look at it a a grudge, but as a fun (money making?) hobby. I would also like to give Aloysa a shout out as well. I thought her site was really cute and her theme clever. I hope she kept it somewhere and can reignite it some time. There 's no rule that one has to be the "perfect" blogger all the time.

We all need a break once in a while.

I agree with Barb.  I don't understand why Aloysa had to pull down the site.  You can always come back and start posting after a break.  I too felt her blog was unique, even the name was catchy!  But then I shouldn't be judging without knowing what Aloysa's circumstances were.  

I hope she does well in whatever her endevour is.
