Hi, Babes Readers,

I'm sorry to say that this will be my last post as an official part of Babes in Bookland.  I've had a great time, and it wasn't an easy decision to say to my other friends here that I needed to leave the group.  It isn't for lack of of interest, or lack of fun.  I've truly enjoyed our weekly topics and freewheeling weeks. 

Unfortunately, I'm at a place in my life where I need to reflect, re-evaluate, and to some extent, re-apportion my time and creative energy.

I'm not a half-measures type of woman.  It isn't in my nature, personally or professionally, to give less than my best.   Lately, I've been stretched in too many directions, and my creative efforts have suffered.  So, rather than short change you and the rest of the Babes, I thought it was a good time to make a gracious departure.

Although I will no longer post on a regular basis, I plan to visit often to read up on the endeavors, adventures, and antics of the remaining Babes.  So, I'll be able to keep in touch by reading your comments, too.

I'd like to thank the Babes for letting me be part of this ride.  It's been a pleasure!  Even more importantly, thank you for your friendships, which go on long after the blogging.

Love, hugs and all success to everyone!

Mary
