I Guess This Is Goodbye …

Merry meet my dearest readers, friends and followers,

I never thought that this article would ever see the light. Well, it was in destiny’s plan it did. If you’re reading this, there has probably been quite a long time since I’ve published my last article. (Or maybe not.) First, sorry for my absence. Second, there might be a number of comments that haven’t been replied to, and for those who written them, I’m so sorry. Everyone deserves a reply if they took their time to respond to what I had to say.

This article was originally written quite some time ago, but I was scheduling it forward and forward in the future, so no one would be able to read it if I would still be active on my blog. Therefore, in case of something happening to me — don’t worry, I’m not dead; there’s a just a strong possibility that my parents found out about me and Wicca, and now I’m not writing anymore, or maybe something else unexpected happened in my life —, this article would be automatically published.

I hope you did enjoy reading my blog. Again, sorry to every single person who has written a comment, but didn’t get a reply. I’m missing reading your blogs too, you know. I give special thanks to the following bloggers/friends I have met during my blogging since 2011:

• Ayslyn, over at Ayslyn’s Corner blog: I’m so glad we did the Witchy Blog Award together, it wouldn’t be so great without you.
• Dearest Kristen Coffin (KristenCoffin), thank you for being such a good friend; I’ll miss our chats on Gmail.
• Neferet (Stay for a Spell), I was enjoying reading your blog so much. I know I haven’t commented a lot (I regret it now), but please do now, I read almost every single one of your articles.
• Sammi (The Life and Times of a Forever Witch), you have an amazing blog too, and I was so impressed and happy when I read your book The Magician. I loved it, and I hope you will become the Writer’s Digest bestselling author one day. 🙂

Merry meet, merry part and merry meet again.
Farewell and blessed be,
Cassandra.

P. S.: This is the last article (I can say this with 99.9% certainty) that will ever be published on this blog.
