My husband and I have separated and I will likely be returning to the work force in a few months. In order to earn some extra money, I plan to stock my Etsy shop as much as I have time for. I considered closing my blog but I sincerely enjoy blogging so I’ve decided to keep the blog going, although I may not have time to add free images every day.

Hi Julie,
What a very trying time for you. I love your free images and it will be sad not to see them so often. I am home all the time and it is like an old friend sending me an email daily. I do hope all goes well for you. Thank you for all the lovely images you have posted. Take care.
Kind regards

We have truly missed you and your daily emails! The art and images you have shared have been such a joy to me. In fact I treasure them. Their is no easy way to go through what you are going through. I find myself at the same cross roads…we need to stay true to what is best and right for us. Keep doing what gives and brings joy to you as your able.

Xoxo…..
Sorry to hear about your separation. I’ve been through it and survived. I hope you find the strength to keep positive and “follow your heart” to a new happiness.
Julie it’s always tough to hear someone going through what you are. I wish you the best through this change, and just remember the old Winston Churchill quote: “If you’re going through Hell, keep going.” Hopefully it will get easier to transition. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.
You have a beautiful blog and truly beautiful images – and I will keep coming over to visit, as I know many will. I love your Etsy shop – and speaking of, I need to get my butt over there right now!
Take care and even though it might be terrifying, you’ve got many friends and supporters on the net ~
Best, Sherri
Sending love and hugs your way Julie. xx
So sorry to hear your news.
There are no perfect marriages and it is tough at times, seemingly no place to run.
Keep busy, visit friends and have a prayerful disposition James 1:5
Perhaps in time you may find a way to reconciliation.

with great appreciation for your kind work for all of us

My heart goes out to you. I hope that you whatever happens, you are happy with the outcome. In fact, be sure that you are! You are worth it! Be strong! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thank you for all the encouraging words and uplifting messages! Although I can’t even begin to guess what the future holds and it feels uncertain and scary from this vantage point, I do believe that, one way or the other, it will all work out and something good can come of this.
I will pray for those of you that are going through similar heartbreaking situations.

Julie–
Sorry to hear about what’s going on in your life.
All things DO work together for good, but it’s difficult to remember sometimes when things are scary and uncertain. Be kind to yourself in this time. Stay close to God in prayer, and spend time with family and true friends 🙂 I know that you will find your way.
I hope that you are able to keep going with both your blog and etsy store–they are such a joy and an inspiration!
I wish you all the best–personally and professionally, and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!!!
I’m so sorry about the rough time you are going through. My heart goes out to you!
