These past two years have taken a toll on almost everyone. But I think especially on us sensitive types! Time-outs are good, even for adults. Or especially for adults. Rest, ponder. Sending lots of love from CA. xoxo
Thank you for letting us know what you are through. Your book -Blood- spoke to me so deeply. We will all be here for you when you get back or wherever you decide you can share.
I can’t say I don’t miss your blog or the Soul Soothing Sunday get togethers that carried so many of us through the rough covid isolation days, because I do
But your well being will always be most important to me …
Twitter served no purpose for me other than to raise my blood pressure, and I sure didn't need that on a daily basis. Facebook is almost as bad. I don't rely on social media for any portion of my livelihood, so I know I'm lucky in that respect, but it can all be a big black hole. You take whatever break you need. I hope you come back for purely selfish reasons, but you certainly don't owe it to anyone. Enjoy your break--rest, rejuvenate, recharge. If and when you come back, we'll be here.
I totally get it. I never had a Twitter account and don’t engage much on Facebook. Most of my social media time is spent on Instagram and even that is getting
tiresome for all the reasons you stated. I have noticed you’ve been less communicative of late, but I respect your privacy and need to take a break. I was amazed that you could keep it up that long and come up with such meaningful content. No matter what you do, I’m supportive, grateful, and In awe of your brilliance, authenticity, and heart. Thank you!
This sounds like a wise decision. Writing should be spontaneous and joy-inducing. I hope you can find an equilibrium soon. Always appreciate your well-measured thoughts when you're around.
I understand completely how you feel. You have been sharing your life (heart, mind, and soul) for the world to see. It is hard; the pouring out of yourself. You can't pour from an empty cup. I am glad you have decided to take a break. I have "watched" you long enough to see that this pouring out has been taking a toll on you, especially these past few months. I can see it in your face, in your eyes, and hear it in your voice. We (your constant fans/friends/family) will be here when and if you want to come back. You cannot be forgotten. You will not be forgotten - at least not by those who love you and want the best for you. Know that you are loved, you are prayed for, and you are not alone. Remember, it's not forever, it's just for now.
Allison: thanks for letting us know. I have marvelled at how much you have been doing since I started following you on social media. It has seemed super human. But alas you are human. God bless you. I won't lie, I will miss your posts and occasional response to a comment. Take care of yourself. I've loved you since before social media and that won't stop. I'll see you when I see you❤
I have appreciated all of your words, including these. I love the thought and the heart that goes into your writing, and will always be here for it, when it is right for you. Sending love back ❤️
I’ve noticed. Boy have I noticed. I’m sorry if I’m one of the people who made you feel obligated. I understand twitter from your point of you. It was lovely to chat with you in the beginning there. But I’m not on there to sell anything or be snarky. I’m there to help dogs and activism for them and all animals, and my favorite musicians and surfers. Presently I’ve been publicly mourning the loss of my Bella and Lou Dog on Twitter. It has a different use to me. I have nothing to sell.
I never followed you for your advertising of your works. I gladly gobble up everything you put out there. I don’t need to be convinced or sold. I, too, like my pal here, “Gay,” miss the Pop Ups and LFTL’s and SSSS’s so much. I also echo all of the rest of her sentiments. First you saved me with DTB when no one else could. But then, you SAVED me more than anyone else from March of 2020. I can never repay you for that. We are here. We will wait. I’m sorry I told you how much I miss you. I’m sorry for the pressure. But it’s the truth. I don’t want to exhaust you. I want you to be well and happy. Fulfilled. Whatever that means and requires, that’s what you should do.
What has permeated and emanated for me from all I’ve read of yours has been heart, nurture and truth. It has been nourishment to many. And my guess is the many are most grateful. Now the time has come for you to nourish and nurture yourself. Missing someone is not equal to forgetting someone. Wishing you peace, a soul soothed and joy!
One more for the road, Allison the devil is always going to be around to say boo! Do not let that son of gun place fear in you, he can't do anything without the Lord's permission, all he has is a boo!☮️
I have noticed your silence and thought with your very full life, that you had to tend to other matters for a bit! I have been praying for you! Please take care of you! You are a very special person with much wisdom and intricate communication skills. I love reading your writing! In the meantime, I have been looking around You Tube at your past performances and lectures. All great!!! I look forward to you future posts!!
I find myself not on social media unless I am promoting my articles. It occurred to me as I read your post that my soul needs a break. In a few days, Armenians everywhere will mark the day when the Armenian government gave up half of Artsakh, a region where Armenians have lived for thousands of years, to end a war they could never win. As an Armenian, my soul hurts. I'm reminded of the genocide a century ago. I can't bear social media much at the moment. I need to nurture myself. And yes, as a journalist that's not the smartest move to not be on social media much but it's a smart move spiritually.

Perfectly understandable Allison
Thank you for letting us know…
Take time for you & your family

Take Good Care
