It's with a funny old mixture of both gladness and sadness that I write my final Cozy Chicks post today.
As I streamline my personal and professional life, I've come to the inevitable conclusion that I'm simply overcommitted on too many levels. I think that's probably true of many of us, isn't it? There's always the temptation to believe that if we can just keep all those colored balls dancing in the air a little longer...a) the cavalry will arrive, or b) the balls will start managing themselves, or c) we'll get used to keeping that many balls in the air and maybe even get to like it.
It's not as though the Cozy Chicks required a huge commitment of time or energy -- and I loved chatting with all of you (though it's gotten a little eratic lately)-- but my posts here had gradually become Just One More Thing.
And finally One Thing Too Many.
I'll still be posting on every other Monday morning over at The Good Girls Kill For Money Blog, and I hope you'll find time to stop by and say hi. (I'm dividing up my Monday mornings with the adorable Jennie Bentley -- if you don't know her, come and meet her!)
Anyway, it's been lovely being part of the Cozy Chicks -- and I shall always be proud to be a Cozy Chick alumni. I wish each and every one of you -- and my fellow chicks Michele, Heather, JB, Maggie, Kate and Deb -- all the very best!
May the Chick be with you!

Diana,
Do you mean to say that the cavalry is NOT going to arrive? RATS!!
Well, take care and best wishes to you. I'm sure most chicks (cozy or otherwise) can relate to becoming over-committed. Good for you, for recognizing when you need to pull your ends in, as a good friend of mine often counsels me to do.
God bless.
Hi Diana,
I am sad that you are leaving the Cozy Chicks, but I certainly understand your decision to do so. I know you have a super busy schedule. I want to thank you for letting us readers get to know you over the past few years, and I also want to thank you for all the writing advice you have offered us writers.
Thank you again, and I wish you the best of luck with everything.
Linda
Thanks so much, Scrappy Kay. It's much appreciated.
Linda, thank you for saying so. It's hard leaving but sometimes you have to do the hard things to make it easier in the long run!
Take care of yourself, Diana. I wish you much success and happiness.
Thanks so much, Maggie. Same here!
