It pains me to write this post, it's not a decision I've made lightly, I can assure you. I have ultimately made the very tough decision to leave WA and shut down my website.

My life partner has been dealing with a lot of health issues the past year, and recently, he's been put on quite a few much more costly medications than he's ever been on before.

Because I have been helping take care of my partner, taking him to doctor's appointments, etc, I've realized I do not truly have the amount of time I once did to put into keeping up with my website.

Especially when down the line, my website is going to begin costing me more to keep it running, getting traffic, etc.

Extra funds that I don't currently have to begin with, and any money I do make from my job, are currently going towards helping my partner shoulder the costs of his new and very expensive medications, amongst paying other billings for our home.

Had I more time, and the extra money to put into my website, I would stick around, but, at this time I have nothing to give.

I'm all tapped out, emotionally, mentally, and financially, and I can't do any more than I'm already doing.

I am very grateful for having had this opportunity, and for the people I have connected with through WA, and, shared this experience with.

And I'd like to thank you all for your support, your kindness, and for helping me every step of the way in this journey.

I hope this is just goodbye for now, and I'll see you when I see you next.

I wish everyone a happy holiday, and please know that I'm always thinking of how each one of you has individually enriched my experience here in WA, and I hope to return someday again.

Until then, stay productive!! I believe you can!

So long, for now!
