There are a lot of changes I have needed to make for a while. Most of them, I'm only realizing now. Some are personal, some have to do with parenting, some are changes that Carl and I need to make together.
One of those changes, for me, involves spending less time on the internet and more time focused on other things, real life things. Much of my internet time has been a form of escape, and instead of escaping, I need to work at where and who I am, right now.
So, instead of maintaining two blogs, I am not going to be updating this one anymore. Any blogging that I do will be focused more around writing - at E Louise Bates. I also cut back on the blogs I follow - most now are writer's blogs.
I'm still on Twitter and Facebook - you can keep in touch with me that way or through my writing blog. Child of Grace, though, has served its purpose.
I have made some wonderful friends through blogging, and I am glad that I will be able to keep it up, if just with a different focus now.
Thank you for understanding, and hopefully I'll see most of you over at my other blog.

Will miss your updates here, but totally understand the reasoning. Although I've never made a public commitment myself, I've been trying to cut my internet back as well (though I'm not sure I haven't simply replaced blogging with less fulfilling time wasters like facebook). Here's to spending our days immersed in reality!
I hear you, Louise. I've drastically cut down on my Reader updates list, and have tried to limit myself to Facebook only a couple of times per day. Tough - but understandable! :)
Thanks, all, for your encouragement!
