August 09, 2010 11:03 AM- c'est termine

Elizabeth's Slice of Heaven
photos by Christine Chitnis

I remember so clearly the first time I ever heard the expression,
"c'est termine."

It was delivered by a very bored young French woman (<--okay, I know, redundant) who was conducting our conversational seminar.

The class came to an end and she simply said, "c'est termine."

I was shocked and rather insulted. It seemed so final, so harsh, so lacking in gentleness-- so very French in its directness. But, as it turns out, I was a wee bit too sensitive to the word origin as in French, it simply means, we're done.

Or, it's over.

Which is where we are with this blog. I have moved on to other scribbling pastures and will not be returning here. The site belongs to Dave, the husband formerly known as T, so there's no telling how long this url will be viable.

I've said it before, but I could say it again every day for the rest of my life and it would never lose it's resonance for me: you guys are the best. You have brought SO much into my life. I am forever grateful and eternally inspired by the magical connections that can grow between like-minded spirits.

I wish you every good thing. And then some--

Elizabeth's Perch

Gros bisous, E

got 2 cents?

Oh no! I'll miss you. I've really enjoyed all your writing and photographs - thank you. I think it's fair to say you've been an inspiration. And if I don't see you somewhere else on the internet, then all the very best of very best things for your future. x

This address will remain viable until further notice, of course. We lil' web monkeys will just wait right here and busy ourselves with other projects until BP comes back with more to say. Or until she doesn't. Either way, omworks ain't going anywhere so BP will always have a home. Be well BP and don't stop sharing your words with the world!

Oh, I will miss you Blue Poppy. You were born to me, here. I am so happy that Dave (Thank you Dave!) will be keeping this site open, because sometimes I just like to look back on all of your beautiful words and your even more wonderful transformation that has been documented right here at BP headquarters. Love to you...

Oh, I know how it goes. Web sites are fun, but so much work, and come to feel like obligations rather than expressions. C'est la vie. Bonne chance, BP. You will be missed.

There will always be something magical about this place, and thanks, Dave, for keeping it up. I've often wondered what will happen to these crazy things we call 'blogs' when ever we move away or onto other things...because they're journals, yes, but living, interactive ones. You were one of the very first blogs I ever read, and oh how I have been blessed by you, sweet E. A game changer, for sure. I love you. Love who you were, love who are, and surely will love whoever you will be.
