Hiya. I'm a catholic woman/mother, married to a Christian/non-catholic, raised and living in the greater Phila area. I've shared many of your struggles. I appreciate your personal stories and how your faith has guided/influence/helped/challenged you. I came to your blog because you are modern woman, living and dealing in 2016, but have a strong faith that guides you. Your perspective is similar to mine, yet challenges me to be a better person/mother/wife/catholic. I do also enjoy your posts on catechesis, sacred art, and parenting, but I was only able to pick one in the poll. (I do understand why :-) Ultimately, I love that you're out there with a modern AND Catholic perspective. THANK YOU for sharing so much of yourself.

Good for you for the housekeeping move. You might inspire me to do the same. As time goes on, I find my blog pulled in several directions, and discerning which way to go is not an easy process. Good luck, and I look forward to following you in your new journey.

I found your blog when I was beginning one myself. I liked your blog name and immediately felt connected to you because I am also in a interfaith marriage Catholic/non Catholic Christian. I appreciated your sincerity and transparency and felt encouraged when I realized I was not alone in my struggles. I completely understand why you want to close your blog, but I hope to continue to read about your faith journey on your whatever new pages you begin.

I love reading everything! I've learned a lot about Catholic doctrine and how to live our faith in a modern world that belittles it. Even when sharing about your personal life, you always connect it back to your faith, which is something I try to do too. I hope you keep writing!

I can understand why you want to close the page, but I hope you reconsider. A lot of us follow along because your marriage life and now divorce is a reflection of ours. You connect everything back to faith like nicole p said above.
I don't mean to speak out of turn but I think its true of a lot of us that your blog doesnt just give us hope, it gives us an example on how we can live by faith when things seem impossible. Youve been teaching us how to cope, how to love, how to sacrifice without being bitter and how to recognize God's plan in everything.
Please dont stop writing. At the very least please keep writing until the end of the annulment process. Let us walk to the end of this road with you. This is not the end.

What Marie said! For the record, I like the mix of things. It makes a nice balance.

Your thoughts and struggles on marriage and now divorce have helped not only myself but plenty of others out there in the same grueling circumstances. I came to your blog because it was refreshing to know that there are others like me out there that haven't given up and are actually thriving! you are an inspiration!

Please don't leave! You're like a well of fascinating information and the graceful way you have held yourself together is so powerful for those of us struggling. My marriage is so much stronger because of what you've exemplified for me. The thought of you not blogging anymore is moving me to tears. I feel so strange admitting that because you don't know me and I don't really know you but I feel I know you so well because of how honest and open you've always been. It has helped me so much so to lose your blog is like losing a good friend.

From a man's perspective (please don't take me to be rude, cheeky or too forward), you are a gorgeous and strong woman who says what she means and knows what she wants. Is it possible that your ex felt unnecessary to you? Or that you were too good for him? I'm a strong, self-assured man, but if I were to meet you on the street or in a bar, I don't know that I'd feel confident enough to say hello. What would I be able to offer someone like you who has her shit together, looks amazing, and has a great sense of humor/wit. Do you know what I mean? Is it possible that your entire relationship became one self-fulfilling prophesy for him because he sees you as this super incredible person and he will never measure up so ends up coming up with reasons (terrible, hurtful, stupid and selfish reasons, yes) to end things so he no longer feels the sting of inequity? I'm not saying you should dumb yourself down or somehow not be as hot as you are, I'm just offering a male's perspective. For as strong as us men can be, the steady gaze of a beautiful woman who has her shit together is enough to cave us quick.

I love it all, Gina! I have not been reading much as life has been tragic this year, but I love your writing and have been missing more frequent posts.
