So long, dear blogging friends.
I’ve decided to close down this blog and part ways with the HLB community. While this blog is a big part of who I was, it doesn’t reflect where I am or where I’m going. There are big and small changes happening in my life, and I want to dedicate my time and attention to them and to finding my place in the outside world.
Blogging has meant (and still means) so much to me, and I can’t believe how many of you wonderful women I have gotten to know thanks to it. I may returning to blogging in some other form, fashion and location in the future, but until then if you’d like to be e-mail pals, feel free to drop me a message at allieelyse@gmail.com.
I love y’all and am wishing you the best with your personal journeys. Have fun, laugh lots, and don’t take life too seriously.
Beast-fully yours,
Allie

So I take a week vacation and you decide to say bye-bye to blogging. I will miss your blog my friend, but I know we’ll keep in touch because I want regular garden updates. Good luck on your big and little changes; I know youll do what’s right for you because you’re smart and skilled. I want to read the novel when it’s all said and done.
Awww!!!! I’m going to miss your blogs girl! I understand if you need to take some time for you and do your own thing though. Looking forward to hearing from you again in the near future. 🙂
Aww 😦 I will miss your blog! Email me any time you want to talk training! Good luck with all your new endeavours xx
I was just thinking about you today actually. I hope everything is well with you!
So proud of you for making shit happen. You always have to put yourself first.
awwww! i’m sad, but not surprised. you have bigger things to write now! xoxo
I will miss you, Allie – I know I don’t need to say it, but I have been reading, just from my phone whilst sitting next to dad.
Keep in touch, have a rad summer, and see you next year when we RULE this school (sorry, it started to sound like a yearbook note so I went with it). XXO
I’ve been sensing a disturbance in the force. I will miss my little Beast, but I know we’ll stay in touch. I have to send you info on when we’ll be in Nashville. Yikes, I was supposed to do that. I’m leaving for Maine tomorrow. I’ll be in touch when I get back. Many hugs to you, Ms. Allie.
I’m definitely going to miss cracking up at your posts! But I totally understand needing to get away from the HLB community and into the “real world” a little more. I wish you all the best!
Whoa. Good..bye?
I’m totally e-maling you know. Especially because I haven’t given up on us one day being roommates. I’ll be getting closer to you once I move to Alabama this weekend…
Just as I was starting to get all caught up on your life and your posts, you’re leaving… I know you have a lot going on right now and I wish you the best with all of your new adventures. I’ll be dropping you an email because I want get on the list to read your novel when it’s finished 🙂
Well, I would say I’d miss you, but I won’t…BECAUSE I CAN SEE YOU ANYTIME I WANT…as long as it’s okay with you that is! 😉 Just don’t PHYSICALLY leave me anytime soon. I might cry. Can’t wait to see you Saturday!
I’ll miss reading your blog, Allie! Completely understandable that you need to quit / take a break though, the blogging world can place some very strange pressures and expectations on people. I hope you keep reviewing on Goodreads because I love reading your updates, and I hope that we’ll stay in touch via Twitter or email 🙂
I miss your blog, Allie…that’s all 🙂
Best of luck Allie!
Sorry to see you go, but good luck with everything! 🙂
