There is a certain sense of euphoria in making life altering decisions, especially those that change your life for the better. I have been struggling with myself over my place in the blogosphere for at least the past two months now, and the fight is finally over. When I joined on as a moderator at Entrecard just over a month ago, I was excited to become a part of something that fit so well with my blogging, and hoped that it would reignite the passion I had felt for it in the beginning. Then reality sunk in, and I found that the old battle of not enough hours in the day was only getting worse, not better, so I did what I had been taught to do many years ago --- I made a pros and cons list. I discovered quickly what was really important to me, and blogging, hours on the internet, and the life that revolved around it was not anywhere near the top.
I have loved every minute of sharing my world with friends known and unknown, and I have some special relationships left from my experience at Entrecard (you know who you are) that I will treasure forever. Robin's Woods will live on in the real world, but it's time here in the virtual world of the internet is done. Thank you, everyone, who has visited, commented, and encouraged me along this path. I am a better person for it.

You will be sorely missed. And thanks for all your hard work, you have been a joy to work with. Good luck and stay in touch.
Jennie, I am glad that you made a decision and I have certainly mulled the same issue around in my head and heart. Your presence on EC will truly be missed, but, I will check back often and look forward to hearing from you and Princess Cupcake. You know that I wish you, the Princess, your family, and all the critters the very best.
Good luck Jennifer. All the best.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. Something isn't fun any more when it becomes a chore and you realize that you're missing out on the 'real' things...the things that really count and make you feel like you're really living. The internet isn't a substitute for warm hugs and beauty around us.
Best of luck Jennie. I know that you'll be happy.
Hi Jennie, Sorry to see you leaving Entrecard. You'll be missed. I'll just move this bookmark over with others that have left so I can still visit your blog. :-)
Ah Darn! I totally understand why you quit being a moderator, but to remove the widget too...I guess I understand that as well, truly.
Your site is in my bookmarks and I will still visit EC or no EC as it's you and your wonderful photography that snagged me from the first. Since that isn't changing, why should I deprive myself of the pleasure?
Good luck, Jen.

I was always inspired when I viewed your photos. You'll be sorely missed, but there does come a time when you just have to move on.
Jen, I love your blog, and am SO glad I found you on Entrecard. I will continue to have you pinned to my start page. I sorely understand the time issues you face. I find I'm missing my ART time more and more these days while I network and blog. The balancing act is very difficult. Warm wishes! Laurie B.
I was just fixing to give you a blogging award, but won't now. But I still want you to know I have enjoyed visiting. You can still visit sometimes even if you are not posting yourself.
Jennifer - I will miss you dearly and have enjoyed your blog - thank you!
Happy Birthday Ms. Jennifer!
I can so appreciate your reasons for doing this... I struggle with it as well. I'm happy to have been part of this experience with you, and appreciate all the kind words you have sent my way.
Back to life!
I just began enjoying your blog...I will miss your posts, yet I understand the reasons. I wish you peace!
I hope you keep your photo blog going. Your photos are too good to be kept on a hard drive, seldom seen. You have gorgeous, mad skills with light, shapes and framing your shots. Will miss you and feel sad to see your blog fade to black. Take care.
