I’ve been asked a number of times why I’m not updating lawmummy so much anymore.
I could give you a million excuses, many of which are true, about how busy I am.
But it comes down to this… As lawmummy became popular, I lost my anonymity. And that meant that it wasn’t as easy for me to speak from the heart. I was constantly worried about how things would be interpreted. I found that it was hard to write about what was really going on in my life. The thing is, I got to the point where it was easier to talk about other people (like Britney Spears) than it was to talk about me – which isn’t why I started the blog at all. Now, I find that I can’t be honest and talk about how I’m feeling about anything without stirring up conversations that I don’t want to have. I can’t talk about the kids or work or my family without a cast of thousands being involved. I can’t post about just having a bad day. And lately, I’ve been having a string of bad days. So, for a bit, I’m calling it quits.
Don’t forget about me. I’ll be back. Someday.

I’m sorry to hear this, but I understand. I recently made the opposite decision – to stop being afraid of other people’s reactions. But I’m not in your shoes. So please take care, and if you start a new blog somewhere, be sure to email and let me know! I’ve enjoyed your posts and will be thinking of you. Take care, hon.
Bummer.
But I understand. Especially owning your own firm, I can see why that’s important.
