Goodbye and Thanks
Hi, everyone,
I've had to come to the difficult decision over the last week or so to leave WA as of April 1st. I've only been a member since December, and it's been an amazing adventure! I started the process as a wet-behind-the-ears beginner, and have learned such a tremendous amount about the technical as well as creative aspects of setting up and running a website. Plus, I've met all sorts of wonderful people - this community really is unlike any other.
But, unfortunately, some financial curveballs have hit my family that we have to take care of. The Premium membership here is VERY reasonable, but still too much for me to pay out right now.
I just wanted to thank all of you who have followed me, who have helped and advised me, or who have just chatted with me in my time here. I will miss the work, the fellowship, and the exctiement of being a part of WA.
I'll carry what I've learned with me - and who knows, someday I may be back. But in the meantime, I hope that each of you continues to grow, both in knowledge and self confidence. You're terrific!
All the best,
Heather

Aw Heather... hope you & your family get through your financial difficulties quickly. I can imagine how disappointed & frustrated you must feel. Hang in there.
Hey Lauren - it was a REALLY tough decision to make, though I believe it's the right one for now. Life sure does get in the way of fulfilling our dreams sometimes, doesn't it? :)
Take care!
Sad to see you go Heather but family needs come first. Hope you will get through this stronger than you were before and even find your way back to WA at some point.
Best wishes for you and your family Heather. It is sad to see you go, but you need to do what is best for yourself and your family!
Who knows, maybe we'll see you again soon.
I really believe that everything is exactly as it is supposed to be. I know things must be tough right now, but everything we go through shapes us into the people we are. And when a door closes a few more open.
Wishing you strength to get through the rocky times.
Hi Lynne - thank you for those great thoughts.And I know you've lived them out yourself! Your journey has been inspiring to me and so many others. Take care!
Sad to see you leave but I totally understand your circumstances, good luck to you and hopefully we'll see you back soon.
I understand Heather,
Curveballs are a part of all of our lives.
You are welcome back anytime my Friend.
Take care of the things that are holding you back and you will be able to come back even stronger.
Best wishes and we'll see you soon,
Tony
Hi Tony, and thank you! I'm getting better at handling the unexpected, but still get impatient as I go through. I'm sure that's part of the process, huh? Take care!

Sorry to hear you are leaving us Heather, but I do wish you all the best. Keep working at it, keep learning and we would love to have you back in the future if the fit is ever right for you (in terms of your situation).
Take care of yourself!
Hi Kyle! Thanks so much for your note. I'm feeling equipped and encouraged from my time here at WA - I really appreciate all that you and Carson (and others along the way) have built.
