adieu
Hey all. I’ve been going through some pretty intense personal things lately, and I’m feeling the need to scale down the stresses in my life. Unfortunately, mom on a wire needs to be one of them.
I’m not sure how permanent this absence is going to be. I may be back soon, or post only periodically, or not come back at all. We’ll see how things go. But for now I’m going to say goodbye and thank you for making blogging such an amazing adventure!
I understand, but I gotta say, I’ll really miss you.

I hope your break allows you the space that you need. Good luck!

I will miss the amazing stories and inspiration you have brought to my days, but completely understand. I hope you find peace in your break, whether it be temporary or permanent.

I hope that things get better soon. I’ll miss your blogging–your wonderful writing and your sense of humor. I think everyone needs a break from blogging now and then, even if it isn’t permanent.

Karli, thank you so much for everything you have done, both at Eulalia and at Mom on a Wire. I will miss you, and will think of you every time I hear about a mama stepping up for her kids or someone else’s kids or for another mama.
Keep in touch, please. I’ll be thinking of you.

I have only recently discovered Mom on a Wire & will certainly miss your posts. I hope the break brings you rest, relaxation, & inspiration. All the best.

Sorry to see you are leaving, but I hope the hiatus is calming and relaxing. I’ll keep the blogroll link though, and check back on the off chance you start ‘er up again!

You’ll be missed. Here’s hoping that life gets better and brings you back this way again. You’ve done great things with momonawire; it has been wonderful to read such a positive and inspiring blog.
Best to you,

I miss you! I’m so glad we still talk tho. This feeling is like when your favorite auther stops writing books. That’s how I feel about you not blogging anymore!

Oh sweetie, you’ve put yourself in time-out, eh?! Only you can make that decision for yourself.
I want to thank you for encouraging me to start a totally new adventure, blogging! So I shall carry on in my little part of the world for you too until you return. And, like your other friends here, I’m gonna keep the light on the porch turned on (not taking your link off my site) so you can find your way back home.
Love and peace to a super young lady! Jenn’s Mom xxoo

Hope you’re onto bigger and better and that if you do come back, it’s under your own terms, your own rules.
Lots of luck.

Karli, I’ve been gone for a while myself. Sometimes you just have to do what is best for you. May God bless you in this time of stress and comfort you in sadness.

Rats, right when I REALLY get excited about reading you you take a break. Come back soon!
PS–I checked out blogsome. I may be emailing you….
Hope you are having fun! It was great meeting you last night!

Hi, Karli - it was truly so nice to meet you after hearing such incredible compliments about you from Karen. After reading a few of your blogs - you absolutely write beautifully. Honestly… I don’t think you need to take a break… just your writing about you and your daughters, etc. is inspiration enough for me. And then when I told Tam that you were there last night at the get-together, her words were, “she writes soooo beautifully - so eloquent!” Anyway, I hope you’ll reconsider your break, or at least don’t be gone too long. I’m adding you to my sidebar so I may frequently check back. God Bless You, my new friend.

Oh no! I’m so sorry to see you go, I hope that things settle down soon. Perhaps one day you’ll come back? I hope.
