Today’s post is written with mixed emotions. Just under three years ago I wrote my first post on this blog. With the exception of taking two months off after our family grew, I have fulfilled my original goal of posting weekly. This blog has pushed me to continue to learn and experiment and I hope you have learned a lot and pushed yourself to make better choices and be successful in the kitchen.
This blog started out as a cooking blog, then developed into a more heavily focused real food cooking blog and has since transpired into more of an overall health and wellness blog, not just focused on food.
I have spent lots of time thinking and talking with my husband, as my list of goals and desires is quite lengthy. I am not quite sure this blog is the best venue anymore to help me fulfill these goals. In addition to wanting to broaden my horizons, there are some technology challenges and barriers that have me frustrated, one of them being my blog Facebook page. I have never pursued anything financial with this blog. I truly wanted to do this to help others. Sadly, a lot of people follow me via Facebook and because I refuse to pay to promote my page, a lot of people have stopped receiving my updates. If I am going to spend the time and energy away from my family, I really can’t handle that people aren’t getting the information.
So, with all that said, I have decided that today will be my farewell post on Cooking For A Better Tomorrow. It is with uncertainty if this will be temporary or permeant. As I mentioned, I have a lot I want to do and continue to share, and you will be the first to know what my future plans will be.
I sincerely want to say THANK YOU for continuing to follow and support me on this journey. I was extremely nervous and fearful when I first started this blog and you all have pushed me to be better, just as I hope I have pushed you. Remember, for future reference, all of the posts to date are cataloged and saved on one of the pages at the top - Recipe Index, Self Education or Tips and Techniques.
