A pause

I haven’t written or shared photographs here for a long while. We experienced a loss last year that changed us all. I’ve felt inspiration differently since then. The need or desire to share what I create essentially dissipated, or has, at least, shifted. I began writing and sharing photos here for many reasons. One of the most meaningful to me was that our girls would have a series of touchpoints to their past, to what we live today and what we work hard to sow for their future selves. That is essentially what this will be going forward. Maybe changing this to a private site would make sense, but I have enjoyed connections I've made here. It feels like hard work to reflect right now, while living these moments still gives me satisfaction and joy. But I don’t want there to be a hole in what has otherwise been a faithful account of their spreading wings. So I want to continue and even fill in some of the gaps from the last 6 months, even if the loss of someone so dear renders the entire palette of our world less vibrant. Marie was my biggest fan here and always encouraged my more creative pursuits. So, continuing on here is for her as well.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I once bought my mother a pin for Christmas from Marie's Etsy store. She was delighted. God bless you all...

I am profoundly sorry for your loss. And I have been extremely grateful for this blog, which I have shared over the years with my own daughter. Thank you for the generous gifts of your photographs and your stories.

So sorry to hear this Emilie, I periodically check this site since you last post in late October and was worried. You little girls are like my little French grandchildren. I loved watching them grow up. Prayers for you all that your good memories of Marie are always there tucked in your hearts!

I'm a few months late in reading this, I'm afraid, but I wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss, Emilie. You and your family always bring light and love with you wherever you go, so I'm sending both of those things back to you all during this difficult time.
