Your choices in life are just that - YOUR choices and people who really care for you should be supportive of them despite their own opinions and/or fears. Only WE know what the right path is.

I think it sounds like a really exciting change! Reminds me a lot of my own change too when I closed my shop. It was a BIG decision to make and there were many opinions flying around from all directions as we had been there for 11 years and were an integral part of a very loyal community - but I do not regret it for even a second! I am happier and less stressed now than I ever have been!

So I wish you ALL the best with your new adventure and I have no doubt that you are an amazing editor! Also, we will hopefully see more of you around here too xxx
