I'm so glad we had this time together...

The past few days, I have been trying to formulate the words to express how I feel. In my own drama filled way, I wanted something poetic and profound. But what I’ve come up with nothing…

And that’s where I am.

I am no longer bitter. I don’t know what happened. I wish I could say love came into my life and all the bitterness I had been harboring is gone. Actually, I can say love has come into my life. Not the love of a man. No, I have a new found love for myself. I have a new found love for my friends and family. And I have a new found love for relationships.

The BBWC has provided a journey for me. A journey I eagerly traveled. And on this journey, I’ve found some good and some bad things out about myself; and I’ve found some good and bad things out about the people I know.


I have appreciated the support and criticisms from each and every one of you who took this journey with me. There are no words to describe how your reading my blog alone meant to me. And this has been a wonderful journey and I hope my rantings have helped someone along the way. I am sure my experience from writing this blog will propel me to bigger and better things with my writing and thoughts.


Please know that while I will no longer contribute to this blog, I am willing to give it over to someone else. If there is someone out there who is interested in taking the BBWC to another place filled with insightful and fun musings, please let me know.

I wish you all the best that life holds for you…


Peace & Blessings,

tnj

3 - I think that it is a bad idea to discontinure you Blog because of a little controversy. Your blog is about airing your opinions about life, love and how you feel about things in general. So what people don't agree with your way of thinking. Maybe you are expressing out loud what people are thinking.

I think that you should expand your audience and embrace the differences that your Blog stimulates and encourages. Now is not the time to quit. I think that it's great that you have found yourself and love you!

I am glad that you had an epiphany and know that you love you. Your Blog, by design wasn't to win friends and influence people, I say take it on the chin and keep on blogging. I think that you are Carrie, who speaks freely about "Sex In The City!" and it's ok.

4 - Please understand, my decision to not continue this blog has nothing to do with any controversy. I no longer represent the premise this blog was created on. I am in a much different place.

I hope you understand... its actually about me. tnj (Comment this)

5 - Thank you, Miss Formerly Bitter Black Woman for blessing us with your rants, your musings, your insights and your sometimes painful, but always poignant, reflections.

I'm happy to hear of your newfound love for life, friends, but most importantly self. In a society where black women continue to be marginalized, objectified or rendered invisible, that's a wonderful space to occupy.


I look forward to your next incarnation -- whatever and wherever that may be.

7 - Well - this is a surprise. I always looked forward to reading your opinions and the thoughts and responses that your wrtitings generated. As some posters before me have stated, keep writing, you definitely have the skills! I am happy that you've fallen in love with you. More people need to learn to do that before they can call thenselves in love with another person. See on the next IM line when I am working late at ML and being sassy towards you (smile). Your serve............. (Comment this)
