After nearly eight years on Hive I am happy to say I am leaving on good terms. If you would give me this opportunity to share my heart and last thoughts with you, you will fully understand my decision.
Meet Your Newest Life Coach
Iโm embarking on a new journey. A career that is very fitting for who I am.
I have always been an attentive listener and love helping people come up with strategies and solutions to their problems. Making myself available and giving others an outlet to vent and express themselves has always been my specialty.
I will now be doing what Iโm passionate about as a living. I never would have imagined me doing this as a career. Iโve been a stay at home, homemaking homeschooler mom for the last thirteen years. Iโve ventured out with other entrepreneurial opportunities but nothing like this where I will be coaching every week.
I am currently apprenticing under my sister-in-law who is a licensed clinical psychotherapist. This is such a great advantage for me because I get first hand experience with shadowing her during her sessions. Meeting with her week to week to go over questions, learning about important forms Iโll need when I officially start, and getting an overall idea of the process has been very enriching and enlightening.
On top of my training with her Iโll be working towards various certifications to gain an ample amount of knowledge and understanding about my role as a life coach.
The difference between what Iโm used to doing and what a life coach does is that I canโt advise or try to fix someoneโs life. My job is to help guide them to make their own goals and hold them accountable to seeing them through.
With that said, the business partnership my sister and I are building is super exciting. Once her clients are at a place where they are ready to move forward with making future plans, she sends them my way to be coached.
I remember noticing a few years back that several homemaker moms were getting part-time jobs. I thought to myself that I am done with doing that and love that my only work lies within my home (unless I choose to work our photography business which isnโt often). Things have completely changed in that my family needs my assistance with financial support.
We could continue the way we are but it would be so tough to do the things we want to accomplish. One of those major things is buying our first home.
This new venture will be very time consuming taking up a lot of mental space and energy. Itโll be more than just the one hour sessions I have. Itโs all the prep work, research and studying Iโll be doing in between along with touching bases with clients off session.
With homeschooling still being a top priority, I wonโt have the time to commit to being here, especially with running a community. In my earlier blogging days I was willing to take on more than I could handle because I loved it so much. Now, as I age I am learning my new limitations and have to make smarter choices for my mental and physical wellbeing. Also importantly, making sure I have time for my family.
So as you can see, itโs time for me to part ways as I began this new chapter in my life.
Hive Thoughts
I was once called a Hive celebrity when I was consistently making posts to help guide newbies and refresher posts for veterans. You call it bragging I call it being proud of accomplishments ๐!
This particular post really put me on the map as an influential and impactful writer. The fact that I published that post three years ago and today it is still being shared and reblogged is astonishing to me. People still comment with a thank you letting me know they are following the guides we listed out for them.
Putting that collab post together was one of my greatest achievements on Hive. My experiences along with the skills Iโve gained here is what enabled me to put together a sixteen minute gravitating piece such as that. I owe that to this platform and the people who have taught and inspired me along the way.
I wasnโt a blogger before Hive. It is here I learned HTML formatting, editing, more about proper punctuations and grammar, photo sizing, how to excite my readers, how to make eye-catching cover photos, the importance of valuable feedback and comments. It is here that I discovered my love for photography along with other interests I didnโt know I had. My leadership, managing, creativity and organizational skills have all improved from being on this platform.
I am truly grateful for these things Iโve gained. I donโt have any regrets for spending so much time here these past eight years. I am leaving with so much more than what I came here with.
I do want to shoutout to the OCD crew that gave me a shot and allowed me to be on the team. These few Iโm about to mention are ones that trained and taught me a lot about behind the scenes and how to be a good curator. Just by being in the OCD discord I gained so much knowledge of things.
To @acidyo, @livinguktaiwan, @ybanezkim26 and @macchiata thank you for being awesome! I canโt count the times Iโve reached out to each of you to ask a question or steer me in the right direction and each time you have been supportive. Especially you Living, weโve had our fair share of conversations and I appreciate you so much lady. I will miss being in the know with you all ๐โบ๏ธ.
I hope I am leaving you with a lasting impression. Those who have ever came to me for help and guidance I hope I did the job well. Iโm grateful for the many times Iโve been called influential, an asset, a leader and an impactful contributor to Hive ๐.
NeedleWorkMonday
Iโve seen when community leaders leave Hive on not so good terms and take their communities and the keys with them. They feel since itโs something theyโve built it belongs to them and should go too.
Believe me I get it. Iโve poured my heart and soul into the NeedleWorkMonday Community for the last seven years watching it grow and flourish. Countless hours are spent building and managing communities (especially if itโs an active one).
I have said from the getgo this community is not MY community but OUR community. Those whoโve made life here from posting, participating, supporting, upvoting, giving shoutouts, sharing who we are etc are the ones that make this community what it is. This is why this community has been one of the longest thriving communities for so long and continues to be so.
Who would I be to shut it down and say itโs over? No way. I wouldnโt dare do such a thing. The needlework community is here to stay and I believe it will continue to evolve into something even greater. ๐
I am leaving the NeedleWorkMonday Community in the hands of @kattycrochet and @lauramica!
They have been leaders here for quite some time now and are well capable of leading and maintaining this space. I am so grateful to these ladies for stepping up and taking on their new role as administrators.
I will stick around behind scenes for awhile to make sure they have what they need and are fully comfortable with taking over.
I will miss all the fun, talks, laughs and learning that takes place. I have so much love for the needle arts. My heart is full knowing this community has touched and inspired so many people. Making people feel welcomed, supported and encouraged as always been the main goals and Iโm glad to say we have stuck by them.
Katty and Laura you girls are the best and I am forever grateful to you both. Itโs been a fun journey working with you ๐.
Farewell
I leave you with a heart full of gratitude, appreciation and love for such a people as you. This experience with all of the opportunities that have existed will forever be remembered and cherished.
Iโm thankful to be leaving with a heavy heart due to how much Iโm going to miss being here instead of a heavy heart full of regrets.
I have no regrets on who Iโve been to this platform or what Iโve shared. I have been committed and dedicated to the growth and wellbeing of Hive and have always been authentic, genuine and transparent. What youโve received is all I am.
I hope you continue going strong and making this place even better than what I imagined it to become. Hive is special and I hope many more people join so they can experience the benefits.
Thank you for all the love and support that was shown to me these last eight years on Hive.
Take care and God bless ~
Wow! That sounds like an amazing opportunity and something I'm sure you'll be perfect for. I can certainly understand you stepping away for that.
I hear you! That's something I've been learning to do more and more in recent years. I haven't been present on Hive like I used to be myself, so sadly I have only kept up with you sporadically anyway. Therefore I feel a bit hypocritical saying I'll miss you, but I know Hive will. If you ever have chance to pop in and update us as to how you're going, it will still be here. Even if it's only once a year or more...
I knew you'd be leaving the community in good hands. I'd hope for the same for HomeEdders if I ever had to step away.
Wishing you all the best and it's been a pleasure to have gotten to know such a amazing, beautiful woman.
I know if anyone understands a bit how I feel it's you. It's one thing to be a blogger on Hive, you make so many connections and get attached to how wonderful that is. But then as a leader of a community, that's a great responsibility to carry. I couldn't just say "I'll just post a lot less and then it'll be okay". As a leader you have to be here and show up at least time to time to check in on things. I know with the type of community we built NWM to be that wasn't going to cut it. I didn't want to stay in that position because if I couldn't give my all as usual, I felt it wasn't fair to everyone else. It would have been me for the sake of me keeping my role but I wouldn't be able to live up to it. I'm an all in or not at all person so I knew what had to be done.
Iโm glad we have kept up with each other even just a little bit. You too are such a motivating and impactful women and I thank you for your positive influence on me. You are another great leader that Hive appreciates.
Thank you so much for those wordsโฆwow ๐ฅฐ. It has truly been such a pleasure. I do hope to share with this platform again someday. Take care dear friend ~ ๐
Crosheille, I'm almost crying now that it's all officially materialized haha. Thank you so much for all your work here and for being a strong driver for many Hivers who now enjoy this blockchain. All your support will always be kept in my heart, I appreciate that you have welcomed me well in your community since my beginnings, that was very meaningful for me. And also thank you for trusting me enough to continue to manage the NWM community, it's a great honor and I hope everyone will continue to feel as comfortable there ๐โค๏ธ!
Hahaha oh Laura ๐๐ฅน! I am just now able to come back to my post to respond to messages. This has been such a heavy day for me. I got so emotional when writing this up, still in shock that Iโm actually moving on.
I couldnโt have chose better leaders to take this on. You have been so wonderful and I know with you ladies here everyone will always feel comfortable. You each bring something special so I have no doubts how great everyoneโs experience will continue to be.
I will really miss you dear friend. Thank you for being you and being so dedicated and committed to the things you do ~ ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฅน๐
Best of luck in your new venture, hope it goes really well. By the sound of it it should be something you're amazing at so I'm sure. Hive will always be here so hoping to hear from you every now and then when you have some free time! Thanks for all the work and help you've put into this chain and the users it has affected for the better!
Thank you Acid! That's the thing about being so connected and attached here. I'm afraid if I ever come back to give an update that I will be tempted to stay. Maybe once all of my kiddos have finished high school I'll come and touch bases with everyone ๐.
I really appreciate your nice comment about my work. It is a great feeling to be appreciated ๐.
Take care Acid! Thanks again for the opportunities you opened up for me to grow here and for all of your support on my work and posts ~
Hey! Stumbled randomly upon this post so just thought I'd check how you are and how things have been going? Hope all great!
I can't thank you enough for all the support and learning you have given me since my first day in the community.
It is a great responsibility that you leave to Laura and me, because we must live up to your excellent work, but it is also an excellent legacy and an incredible opportunity to continue learning and growing as leaders of a community.
Personally, I appreciate and love you as a true friend who allowed me to share personal aspects. My best wishes and most sincere blessings to you and your new goals. A big hug my dear.
All of our time together has been really special. It's so cool we got to work in multiple communities together. Since I've met you I have seen your growth and how you are able to take on things. You are an amazing woman, a thoughtful and caring leader and a great needle artist. I am so happy you both agreed to carry on with what we've built. I couldn't be more happy about this decision to pass the baton to you ladies ๐.
That means so much to me, thank you! I love you too Katty and also consider you as a real life friend. Hugs and love to you and may many blessings be heading your way ~ ๐
Thanks so much dear for these beautiful words.
๐ฅน๐ค๐
Oh my goodness ๐คญ๐คญ๐คญ,I do not know if I should cry or hold my emotions firmly but this post got me too emotional.
@crosheille I will love to deeply appreciate you in a special way for the impact you have made in hive ecosystem and in my life personally. Knowing you have been a blessing, I can't forget how our path crossed in a hurry and how encouraging you have been.
Many times, I have been blessed with your post and now I am gonna miss them all. Thanks for your input,your leadership and the amazing needlework Monday community
The ladies you are handing over are great peeps and I am sure they will make you proud
I actually lack words to express how I feel atm,but just know that I love and celebrate you always
You are such a gem
You are leaving a nice legacy behind in this space
God bless and keep you ma'am
All the best in your new career
๐ค๐ฅฐ๐
I am so glad we crossed paths and were able to connect here. Aww thanks so much โบ๏ธ. Knowing you has been a blessing as well. It was always great seeing you pop up in my comments and leaving wonderful feedback...that never went unnoticed or unappreciated.
Of course. I hope you continue to work on your needle creations and share within the community. It will still be a wonderful place for everyone. ๐
I love you too sweet lady. You keep sharing that beautiful bright smile with the world, it sure needs it right now. I will miss you ~ ๐๐
We'll miss you & I personally will do โค๏ธ. You have been contributing a lot in our community and your dedication is unmatched. I still hope you're checking us out once in a while whenever you can. It was truly an awesome experience having you in OCD, it really has been a while but still feels like yesterday. Thank you for everything and the mention, I wish you great luck in your new life journey ๐ฅฐ
Wow @macchiata ๐ฅบ๐ค!
That is incredible for you to say and it makes me feel so special. Thank you so much for that. I will miss you too. The way you have always been willing to help me and guide others will never be forgotten ๐. You guys in OCD are like an answer book lol. I knew I could always come to you guys when I wasnโt sure about something. It was fun being part of the club.
Yes, it may be great times in between but Iโm sure youโll see my handle pop up again someday. Thank you greatly ~ โบ๏ธ
Best wishes in your new endeavors! ๐
Thank you very much!! ๐๐ฝ
I would have never even imagined it. Knowing about your retirement has moved me, but I understand your reasons perfectly. From my beautiful Venezuela ๐ป๐ช I want to thank you for everything you have given us. This community has been a room of good lessons and many learnings for me. I wish with all my heart that your projects will be very successful.
I take this opportunity to congratulate my friends Katy and Laura for their new responsibility that you have left them. I am sure they will do very well.
I send you a fraternal embrace ๐ซ
I am right there with you. I never imagined this either but of course we can't see what's ahead in life until we actually get to that point. Iโm glad I was able to share my heart and thoughts so that you could understand clearly the reason why.
You are very welcome. I also want to thank you for your longevity and for the many inspiring projects you have shared. Your creativity has definitely been impactful in NWM. Please continue doing what you love.
Much love to you ~ ๐
Oh my! While I can't stop you from venturing into a different path especially when the decision is rooted from family matters, I would like to express that Hive has become less of a home without you around. I'm not sure if you know, but I'm no longer with OCD. Hive has been a great place for newbies in the past years because of you and your guide posts. You will be missed dearly! I'm teary eyed as I am typing this because as I've said, Hive will never be the same.
Glad to be mentioned in your farewell post. I will surely miss you and I hope I can see you in person someday somewhere in the universe. Farewell, my friend! Mabuhay ka!
Kim, even though you and I have already had the chance to talk personally I still wanted to respond here.
It was something you said to me back then when I was making the posts for newbies that really encouraged me. You shared with me that you felt I had a knack for what I was doing and I was great at being a teacher. That meant so much to me. We don't always know what someone is thinking or how they feel about you. When you actually hear a little bit of how they see you, it really makes a world of difference.
I appreciate who you've been to me on Hive and who you've been to Hive in general. I've seen all the hours and hard work you've put in behind the scenes and in the public eye. You're a real trooper and I am glad to have known you here. This place was an improvement with you in it.
Farewell to you and I wish all of your goals be metโฆeven the ones you donโt know you want to make yet ๐ ~
Nooooooo!!!!! ๐ข
I remember a while ago you said your were aiming to buy your own home. That is truly a big commitment and if it means throwing yourself all in towards that goal, then go for it girl! And you're doing it with a job that you love, even the better. Although we never got round to meet face to face, I know you are a kind, considerate and patient person, and is always able to see the different sides of things. These qualities will be extremely useful for a life coach and I'm sure you will excel in your new career.
It will be very sad to not having you around anymore and the occasional chit chat. Hive is always going to be here, as will your legacy, so you won't be forgotten.
All the best in your new ventures , and if you are ever back, please don't forget to tag me
Take care โค
I know ๐ฅฒ! I still canโt believe it myself.
Yes! We are going all in and I will be working hard to help reach our savings goal for our new home.
Awww Living! Thank you! You are definitely one I wish I could have met in person. You are one of the very few here that I always felt comfortable with asking my โdumb questionsโ. Sometimes I feel silly and feel I should know certain things but when I wasnโt sure I knew I could chat with my girl ๐. You are such an amazing leader and work so hard to help with making sure this chain runs smoothly and fair. Hive is so so so so blessed to have you. I will miss you! ๐
I will definitely tag you if Iโm ever back. I wish I would have played more of your guessing games, those are so much fun! You take care too and continue being awesome.
Much love for you ~ โค๏ธ
Dear @crosheille, you are a great, creative, beautiful and inspiring being, I have always considered you my friend, my teacher, an example to follow. Congratulations on your new achievement, I hope it always goes well for you. Thank you for being a beautiful example to follow and always motivating us with love. We love you infinitely. ๐ฅฐ๐ซ๐ฅน๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐งถ๐งต๐ชก๐ช
I thank you for sharing this with me. I feel accomplished knowing I was looked at as a teacher and an example to follow ๐ฅฐ.
My time with you all in this community added more value to my life and I mean that. This is how you know this is not just a community but a family that cares for one another. I too have learned so much.
I love you all as well. Many blessings to you sweet Laura. Take care ~ ๐๐
You are loved and will be greatly missed, yet we equally want to see you excel in life and whatever career path you chose๐๐๐๐.
This is sooooo touching, I don't know how I feel right now.
I do miss @neumannsalva when she left and now we are gonna be missing you too.
My very best wishes ๐น
Monica! Oh my will I miss you. I wish I could stick around to continue following your entrepreneurial journey. I know you will do so well with your goals and succeed.
Thank you dearly. There have been several people that have left that I have missed, she is definitely one of them. Goodbyes are very emotional.
Much love and admiration to you ~ ๐
Good luck in you new calling and congrats for bravery to embark on this journey.
Thank you for everything you've achieved here. Please, do come back from time to time and tell us about your progress as a life coach.

Thank you so much for this comment and for your support. I am truly grateful for it.
It has been such a pleasure. I do hope this won't be the last you all hear from me but in order to truly be gone and stay away (because Iโm a Hive addict lol) it may be some time before you do.
Thanks again @ervin-lemark! Take care ~ ๐
Wow I can't believe these news! I feel a certain sadness that you are leaving yet if you feel like this decision will help you in your future as a coach I can understand it. I am lost for words because you are a valuable member of the community. I wish you a lot of success in everything that you want to do!
Mary! I have missed visiting you. I wish I would have made more time in these last months to come and visit your lovely art. You are such a beautiful and one of a kind human being and I am grateful for the interactions we've had. ๐
I appreciate you sharing these sweet words. I have been very emotional these past two days but most of it is coming from comments like this โบ๏ธ. Thank you!
Take good care and continue inspiring the world ~ ๐จ
Thank you my dear I am sure that you will be one of the best in your field and the community will miss you!
๐ฅฐ๐ค๐
Hello @crosheille, I have always thought that goodbyes are not easy I have planned to say so many things and at the moment of speaking I only say a few words; I wish you much success in the new project you undertake, may the Heavenly Father be the guide of your steps, it is not easy to assume changes but for family and welfare reasons they are necessary.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your advice and suggestions to improve the sewing work and to take pictures, I will continue to put them into practice, thank you very much for your dedication and support.
Success and many blessings!
Hey @belkyscabrera! No worries, I totally understand. As I respond back to these comments I feel I have so much to say to each one individually but something different always comes out. I guess that's what happens when you're full of emotions โบ๏ธ.
Thank you so much. The Lord is definitely guiding my footsteps. I can see He is setting up some great things for our family and I am so excited to see where it all goes.
Iโm glad to hear you will continue putting those things into practice. I am so thankful for the years I was able to encourage everyone. Itโs been fun seeing growth and improvement of publications. Keep at it sweet friend.๐ค๐ฉท๐ค
May the good Lord bless and keep you ~
๐ค๐
What an exciting journey you bring with you to our beautiful network, your principles and values are not often seen here. I congratulate you for having the fortitude to choose your future and that of your family, and to choose wisely about it. We will always be here, and from my side, very grateful to the work you have done with NeedleWork as a community, it is amazing to have set foot there and feel comfortable and accepted.
Love and a big hug ๐
This ๐๐ฝ! This is the type of impression Iโd hope to have made. If I could have had any influence here it would be in the way I govern myself and treat others. I wanted to share these principals and values with Hive and I hope it has encouraged others to consider how they operate. Thank you for that statementโฆgolden feedback that Iโll cherish.
It feels good to chose rightly and be able to sacrifice what I love for the betterment of my family. ๐
I am so glad you are part of the needlework family and feel at home there. I hope youโre able to achieve all youโve set out to do with your projects.
Take care always ~ ๐
Oh, dearest @crosheille - I am very sad that we will not be communing more here - I sooo loved knowing you through Hive and through #NeedleworkMonday in particular: you have been a HUGE support and inspiration to me in my sewing mastery!! And wow, yes, you should be SUPER PROUD to have achieved such a lot and to have inspired so many via Hive... All power and vitality to you in your new path in the world: LOVE and hugs and all good things, and if you ever want to keep in touch, I can be found via www.claregaiasophia.com
Many blessings friend!
Thank you dear sweet Clare! I am very happy to have inspired you during my stay. I am very proud and pleased with my accomplishments and so grateful for the opportunity. ๐ค
I have really enjoyed knowing you and getting a chance to follow your work here on Hive. You are truly an inspirational person and I hope you continue sharing your amazing designs and motivating all to not be afraid to dream. I wish you well with all your aspirations.
Thank you for you lovely message. I have saved your information too ~ ๐
This is the first time I've come across your post and with just this post, I can say you have done amazing on the blockchain and it's hard to see you leave. I'm really happy you've discovered what you want to do and wish you well in your new chapter. I believe you have left a lasting impression on the blockchain and your work will hardly be forgotten. God bless
Hi @awuraadwoa20. It's nice to meet you. I know it's funny hearing me say that on my last publication but I do appreciate you stopping by and leaving your feedback.
To say that just from what youโve gathered of me from this post is really incredible. Thank you. I wasnโt expecting a particular response and didnโt know how everyone would reactโฆbut I do know my heart is overflowing right now from all this love.
Maybe when I visit years down the line (I know a lot of people are thinking I wonโt be able to stay away ๐คช) Iโll come and visit your blog as well.
Take care and I hope you have a pleasant journey here ~
Hey @crosheille, This is like dropping a bombshell! You're certainly going to be missed by many!
However, you must follow your heart, and do what you are passionate about.
Wishing you well with your new journey xxx
Lizelle!! Itโs so good to see you. Thank you so much for coming to wish me well. I am so glad to have met you back then. You are such a sweet and talented woman that Iโve always admired โบ๏ธ.
I know. It was a total bombshell as I didnโt really give any hints to what was coming. It feels good to know I will be missed by so many lovely people. My heart is so full right now.
Thank you for your support and understanding. Take good care ~ โค๏ธ
I'm honest with you, I feel sad because you are leaving Hive, but at the same time I am happy that you have found a profession that you are passionate about, helping others is something very noble. I remember every interaction we had through Hive with great affection, every supportive comment you made to my amigurumis when the community did not yet exist, I greatly value the support you gave me in each of my proposals for challenges or contests in the community, You did a great job as a community founder and as a content creator in general. I send you a big hug and I hope we meet again
๐ค
I appreciate your honesty. I too have mixed emotions about this. While I am very excited to start this new endeavor, I am greatly saddened by leaving you all and not being able to keep up with your projects. I think this will hit me harder once Iโve been gone for awhile ๐.
I remember and adore all of our interactions. I remember when I first fell in love with your amigurumi and still today you keep on amazing us even the more ๐๐คฉ. I wish I had gotten around to making that beautiful mermaid doll for the pattern you gave me. As long as I have movement in my hands itโs not too late. Maybe one day Iโll visit and surprise you ๐๐!
It was all a wonderful experience and great pleasure supporting your work and ideas. Please never stop being creative, youโre so talented and amazing!!
Thank you so much. It means a great deal to me that you feel that way. I really tried to give my all so that this would be a fun and enjoyable place. Thanks for helping to make it that way.
Until we meet again ~ ๐๐ค๐ฅฒ
Oh, mine, I am almost teary rn, I sure will miss you so much but I am happy you'll be going for good, I wish you the best in your new path of life and know that I love you and am glad I met you here on Hive.
And I promise to keep sharing my needlework post on the community even though you're not here. Love and light. @crosheille
Awww Amie ๐ฅฒ. I love you too and I am SO glad I got to know you a little. I enjoyed our interactions togther.
Thanks so much for those lovely wishes as I move forward.
Absolutely! Please donโt stop sharing. Itโs so great that youโre here and I know you have many more people to inspire ~ ๐๐ค
Very sorry to read this @crosheille, but ...
... I understand. Inside our own family, as our world changes, what we are hearing from them today is new. And not favorable ...
With that said, with your passion for life and all that goes into it, as our Lord leads, guides, and directs you,๐ I am sure you will be excellent in your new business partnership with your sister-in-law. ๐ซก
All the best to you, my dear sister, for a better tomorrow! โค๏ธ๐โค๏ธ
Yes @roleerob. I never thought I'd be in a position to where working again was needed. I'm glad I don't mind it as I know I will enjoy this new role and working with people. Raising a family of seven has its tough demands but I'm so grateful to know our Lord will always provide what we need ๐.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. You have always been supportive and it has always been a pleasure reading your comments. I am so glad I got to meet a brother in Christ on Hive. God bless and keep you and your beautiful family ~ ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
๐ฅบ we will miss you. I remember you were the one who gave me an inspiring comment in one of my first posts when I was a newbie here.. I guess that was about stepping out of the comfort zone if I'm not mistaken, and you recommended the Self Improvement community... You seldom stop by, but each time you do, you always drop heartwarming and inspiring comments.. Your passion does suit you!
Good luck with your new endeavor. Do visit Hive if you have time or want to share something with us. Stay safe and happy โบ๏ธ
P.S. I thought you would focus more on your photography hobby haha...
!LUV
!LADY
Yes, I do remember that. I still remember when you first arrived. I knew you were going to be a great addition here, I always enjoy reading you. I do wish I would have come by more often. As time went on I didn't have as much time on the chain to stay connected as I wanted due to leadership responsibilities and that was something I felt bad about. There are so many people I wish I would have connected more with and you are surely one of them.
Who knows. Maybe there will be a another time in my life where I can be active again. If so, that's one of the things I will improve on ๐.
Thank you!! Hahaha! I will still continue with our photography business but it won't be a steady job. It's funny you said that because we just got two new bookings. Yay! ๐
Take care sweet Jane ~ ๐
Take care you too.. .for sure you'll meet more people wherever you go, because you are amazing. โบ๏ธ

Whaaaaaaat?!! Although it seems I've (not) said goodbye as I'm so scarce it seems wierd that you, who are one of THE hive peeps (cough - celebrities) will no longer be around
Hahaha I know! I still remember how I felt when I seen you were back. I was always one to get sad when people left or stopped posting and now I'm the one who's making an exit. Still seems surreal that I won't be around. I really did love being a veteran here.
You know I will greatly miss you and our conversations. ๐ฅน๐ค
May the good Lord continue to bless and keep you dear sister in Christ. Tons of love for you ~ ๐
Farewells have always been sad, however, they are moments to remember good times shared; although I have not been a regular contributor, I have been able to find inspiring ideas in the Community. I respect and admire those who every day do their best to strengthen the talents of others. I wish you all the best in this new stage and I am sure that even though you are no longer preparing content or in healing work, your being will send the best positive energies to everyone.
I totally agree about farewells. I'm so glad to be able to reflect on the good times and all the beautiful things I've gained here.
Iโm so glad this community has accomplished what it set out to doโฆinspire people. I wanted to make sure the needle arts remained alive. Not only is it alive on Hive but itโs thriving as well. People who donโt even do needlework come to the community to see the works because they enjoy them. That is so amazing and fulfilling to see โบ๏ธ.
Thank you for saying that. Helping people grow and improve their skills is one of the biggest motivations for all of the initiatives that we do. To be honest with you, although I get excited about seeing peopleโs entries, one of my biggest joys is to hear what they have learned from the experience ๐.
Thank you for the kind remarks. You take care ~ ๐
Life is unpredictable, always changed. Whatever it is, I pray you can be better and better person for yourself and also for your family โค๏ธ
Thank you for many conversations we had even just in comments. I remembered all those things โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Isn't it though? I was just talking to someone (before I started to pursue this path) about growing old on Hive. I had no idea I'd be leaving for these reasons but I know it will be for the betterment of my family and the well-being of myself.
Awww of course! I thank you too. The OCD community allowed us to cross paths and work with each other. Iโm glad we both touched bases every now and again. Iโll never forget your beautiful and inspiring food posts. When I think of you, I think of pretty green and purple colors ๐๐.
Take care dear @anggreklestari ~ ๐๐
It was a pleasure to read this beautiful publication, which although it is a farewell to this beautiful community, has so much feeling, wisdom, gratitude, teaching, a little bit of everything, very inspiring.
A very important delicious one and I am sure that to take it you already have a great way ahead in what you are going to undertake as a family.
I hope you have many successes and continue helping and teaching in other frontiers.
This is a nice community and I see it left in good hands.
God bless you ๐
Fue un gusto leer esta hermosa publicaciรณn, que aunque es una despedida de esta hermosa comunidad, tiene tanto sentimiento, sabidurรญa, agradecimiento, enseรฑanza, de todo un poco, muy inspirador.
Una deliciosa muy importante y estoy segura que para tomarla ya tiene una gran camino adelantado en lo que va a emprender en familia.
Espero que tenga muchos รฉxitos y siga ayudando y enseรฑando en otras fronteras.
Esta es una linda comunidad y veo la dejado en buenas manos.
Dios la bendiga ๐
Thanks so much for your thorough response. I'm so glad you felt those things about this post. My intention was sharing my heart โบ๏ธ.
Yes, I am being equipped and prepared for such a journey. I am so excited to begin and ready to take it on full force.
Thank you again for your comment and loving support. The community is most certainly left in well capable hands.
God bless you as well ~ ๐๐ฝ
Amen friend, you will see that you will do very well.
As for the community, I'm sure it will go very well with your guidance.
I just started doing a sewing course and I hope to be telling my adventures in this art, here in your community.
Thank you very much also for responding ๐ ๐ ๐
Amรฉn amiga, ya veras que te va ir muy bien.
En cuanto a la comunidad seguro va muy bien con sus orientaciones.
Justo empecรฉ hacer un curso de costura y espero estar contando mi aventuras en este arte, aquรญ en su comunidad.
Muchas gracias tambiรฉn por responder ๐ ๐
๐๐๐ค
Oh, my....I don't even know what to say. I can't say we're losing a gem because you're not gone completely and you have left behind a legacy of a blossoming community and people who love you. You always left the most heartfelt comments on my post and I always said to myself, that even when I go really big on Hive, I'd be like you. Heartwarming to a fault. I wish you all the best dearest @crosheille. You're loved by me. Today and always.๐
That's so sweet, thank you! It feels amazing to leave such a legacy behind...one I know will continue to evolve โบ๏ธ.
Wow! That truly is a big deal and I am so honored that you look to me in such a way. How we govern ourselves, the things we say and how we treat people always comes back around. Itโs so important to value another human being and to encourage, uplift and support as much as we can. I hope you touch many people here.
I feel so loved and I thank you for such a heartwarming comment and kind feedback ~ ๐ฅน๐
May many blessings be heading your way!
Oh dear, your topic made me sad, I had to hurry to read your entire post, thankfully you are in good health, I respect your wish and knowing your limits, you are one of the authors whose comments on my blog post have left a long-lasting encouraging feeling, you inspire me in so many ways on hive, also thank you for the Needleworkmonday community, a community that feels like home to so many of us, it's so hard to say goodbye, I trust Kattycrochet and Lauramica to take good care of the community. I wish you well in all your endeavors and hope we still cross paths in the future. Stay well.
Awww ๐ฅฐ๐ฅน. I feel so loved right about now. Knowing that you were encouraged by my comments is confirmation that all my efforts were worth it. I just want everyone to be encouraged and continue working towards improvement of their skills and giving their best in all they do.
Absolutely! I am so happy that many have made a home in the needlework community and I am grateful and relieved knowing it can continue on to be even better than I left it.
Please continue sharing your beautiful works and inspiring others. Thank you for your presence here and being activeโฆit hasnโt gone unnoticed.
Take care and I hope this wonโt be the last time we speak ~ ๐
I don't know what I should feel right now, but I'll definitely be missing you, Crosheille. For 3 years, this has been the only community where I write and share my projects. This community has been my family, and you, being the founder, were like a mother to all of us. You have inspired and motivated us to be the best version of ourselves. A 'thank you' is not enough for all the things you've done in this community and its members. And I am glad and honored to know someone like you. You will be forever in our hearts, wherever you are.
I wish you the best in the next chapter of your life and am still hoping that someday you'll be able to return here. There will be no other Crosheille that could replace you in this community. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We love you. Take care always, Crosheille. ๐
Okay...I think Iโm breaking now. I'm trying to be strong but reading from you all makes it so much harder and emotional. ๐ญ
Jonalyn, it will really be hard not to sneak in here just to see your beautiful bouquets ๐. I am truly going to miss you, our talks, seeing all of your ideas and amazing work. You have inspired other people to put together flowers and bouquets because your work is just straight up breathtaking. I can stare at your posts for hours ๐. And itโs not just with the flowers but with everything you do, you make it amazing.
Thank you for such heartfelt words. The NeedleWorkMonday Community is a family. I love the support, accountability, encouragement and so many other things that take place here. It has been such a great time serving in this community and getting to socialize with each of you every week. There will be a big part missing in my life from this (I seriously mean that) but I hope it will be fulfilled with my new duties and responsibilities.
I love you too ๐! I am so full on so many things right now with all the love, gratitude and appreciation expressed to me. I do hope that later in life I will be able to return in some way, shape or form. I donโt know what that would look like but I do feel the need to eventually check back in with everyone for some life updates ๐.
Take good care my friend ~ ๐
At first, I found it somewhat hard to believe. You, saying goodbye to all of us? Like, no way! Then it hits me that nothing in this world is permanent. But for a short period, you profoundly touched our hearts. I wish you good luck on your new endeavor, and may God protect and guide you always.
It's still hitting me that I'm actually saying goodbye. I never thought this day would happen but it is all for the best. If I didn't think you all were in capable hands I wouldn't be going anywhere (I would have figured out a way to stay ๐). But I'm leaving with peace knowing this community will continue on strong because the leaders have such a big heart for the people and the vision here. ๐
Thank you my friend. Many blessings always to you ~ ๐๐ฝ
Of course, I know Laura and Kitty are the right people to handle the community well. I've known them since I started here, and they are also great supporters and motivators for all the members. And rest assured that we, the old members, will support their leadership and help one another. ๐๐
What a wonderful post. I love how you can leave with a grateful heart having been so heavily involved for so long.
I'm almost in the opposite position. I've been away from Hive for a few years and am just beginning to blog again, as I wind down my coaching pratice.
Wishing you all the best with your new adventure. You will be missed here but there is a new crowd of people waiting to appreciate and welcome you.
I'm sure this next phase of your life will be equally as full and enjoyable as the last one.
Good luck with it all! ๐
Thank you for reading ๐. I'm very glad I can leave with a grateful heart. Itโs going to be so weird not checking discord and getting on here throughout the week. I know it will feel like an empty space and that something is missing for awhile. I think Iโll be busy enough where I will get through it.
Oh wow look at that. How long have you been coaching if you donโt mind me asking? Are you still going to coach but just only part-time?
Thank you! I will surely miss you all. ๐ฅฐ
I've been coaching for 26 years. When I started there were only 3 life coaches where I live. Now there are 1000s. There were only 2 training programmes too, both in the States. I've no idea how many there are now. 1000s of those too probably. ๐
I will continue to coach if someone asks but probably just my "get it done fun days" and "just in time" coaching rather than long term clients.
I took down my websites down last year and no longer go to coaching meets or networking etc.
Wow! 26 years?! You are the real deal. I say that because nowadays you see a lot of coaches doing their practice only for monetary reasons (knowing this could be a lucrative business) which could sometimes lead to unethical behavior. Weโre dealing with peopleโs lives which should be taken very seriously and handled with so much care.
There sure is a huge difference in the amount of coaches there are now. I am glad I've been blessed to partner with my sister who is setting me up to have an advantage over coaches in my area (the training and skillset I am acquiring).
Those coaching sessions youโre still doing sound great and enjoyable ๐.
I appreciate you answering my question. I hope your time back here is even more enjoyable than before. Take good care ~
You have been a great leader, supporter and care lovers, we will forever love and remember you in our hearts, thank you for being so amazing, helpful, thank you for being a great foundation, a strong driver, and a strong back bone to this great platform, for building this great world for our life changing, thank you for not shutting this platform down and say it over! I wish you success, prosperity, happiness and good luck in any joining that you are embark on, a big congratulations to the best trusted, @kattycrochet and @lauramica wish you both success, wisdom and more strength in all ramification, once again thank you so much @crosheille
Thank you for every sweet word you've said โบ๏ธ @pekkymos! Even though I hadn't yet been able to visit you more and get to know you a bit better, I have already gathered that you are a kind hearted and caring person. We thank you for being active here and commenting on other's posts.
I wish you a wonderful Hive and needlework journey ~ ๐
Thanks so much, have a wonderful goodbye
Even though we didn't have much in common making us drop by each others' posts too often, everyone knows you are one of the veterans of this place and you were always an example for me. It was always fascinating to see how far you reached considering that my account is just one year younger than yours but never really managed to take my contribution on the chain to the level you did with yours. Nevertheless, it's a great loss to see you go but IRL life will always be more important and it's understandable. So go conquer some more hearts with your talent, smartness, and human being! โค๏ธ
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I am very honored that you considered me an example. Iโm glad we still ran into each other from time to time ๐. I think because Iโm a veteran it makes it that much harder to walk away from here. Being here since the beginning through everything is a special feeling and place Iโll forever hold.
There were a few years I remember being on here like everyday and all day (in between house duties) and giving it my all. Those were the times I decided to take advantage of using the skills I gained to take on a newbie initiative where I would make posts all about Hive ethics. During this time I was making extra efforts to do a lot of commenting as well. So I think with finding a niche I enjoyed (teaching about Hive) on top of running a community really helped put me in view of more people. I didnโt start out thinking I would be leading anything here lol, but turns out I was able to use what I was passionate about to reach people and make an impact. There was so much more I wanted to do but I had to cut back my time on the platform and things slowed down for me.
From what I see, you also have an influence here and a nice following. I also see that you run your own community now. So cool!!
I truly appreciate you leaving me this comment. I will surely miss being here, thereโs no doubt about that.
Thanks again ~ โค๏ธ
Thank you so much! Back when we joined the chain we had no clue we will have these days when being able to run our own communities and teach people from our experience. I only started being more active commenting in the last couple of months and that did improve my audience but with 12-16 hours of work daily, sometimes it feels hard to get back here and engage. I do try my best though and no doubt Hive is worth the whole time we have.
But when moments like yours come by and you get the chance to do something important IRL then the situation is understandable. Who knows though? Maybe one day we will hear from you again and get some life updates. Take care and thank you again for everything you did here! โค๏ธ
Absolutely! ๐
I know! Who would have known about these type of opportunities we would get to have. I definitely understand about working all those hours, I know it's a challenge to get the time in here that you'd like.
Always. I will never forget this experience. I'm so glad to have been a part of something so memorable ~ โบ๏ธ๐
I haven't chatted with you for too long, but I remember visiting a few of your posts. While I'm sad to hear that you're leaving Hive, I'm very happy for the developments in real life. I wish you all the best and who knows? Maybe you will come back one day.
I sincerely appreciate you stopping by and commenting. Thank you so much for those well wishes. Exactly, who knows? ๐๐
Take care ~
You made a good point there so what else can I say but thank you for the good memories with you especially when I get recognized by my needleworks! It was such an awesome experience too. Good luck to your journey and wishing you success in your endeavors. God bless!
Posted via blog.d.buzz
This has surely been an awesome and fun experience. I enjoyed every part of this journey and I'm glad I got to meet and interact with you along the way. Thank you for being such a longtime member here. I hope you continue to share your work.
Thank you for your kind remarks. Take good care @sarimanok ~ ๐ค
Why am I teary๐ฅน
Thank you for all you did for the NeedleWorkMonday community
I have been inspired so much by you and the community at large. I know you left the community in good hands
I wish you all the best in your path and I hope you get to achieve all your dreams.
Oh dear. This has been so emotional for me. So sorry to get you all teary. We haven't really known each other for a long time but I already know what an asset you are to Hive and the NWM community. I'm usually good at spotting special folk and you are surely one of them. I look forward to hearing one day all that you've contributed and accomplished here.
Thank you for your lovely words. I wish you well in your Hive journey. I am glad to have met you before I departed ~ ๐ฅน๐
โบ๏ธโค๏ธ
I'm sure you know you can always come back anytime. Even if you do not participate as actively as you have in the past.
Oh yes for sure. Someday down the line time and energy may permit me to be here again. Who knows? ๐
All the best with you new endeavours! I'm new here but still wanted to leave my well wishes after reading through your post. Clearly you will be missed.
Thank you for reading and commenting. That was very generous of you. I also send wishes to you for a very fun and enjoyable Hive journey.

So very true! I am excitedly walking into my next door ๐๐ฅฐ!
It was truly a privilege and a great pleasure.
Thank you greatly ~
Enjoy, life is too short not to give it a go!
Agreed 100%!! ๐
Good luck on your new career and adventures, With this are you considering powering down some hive or are you leaving that to gather intrest/powering up other people who will be keeping the projects you invested in going.
Regardless i wish good luck going forward
Thank you!
Those are some great questions. This is still being thought about as Iโm not sure exactly how I will do things according to my earnings yet.
I appreciate your comment ~
good luck on this new journey, sometimes life takes us to the things we want progressively, the goal of owning your own home is something fantastic and I hope you achieve it, thank you for making this space for all of us and letting us share who We are through what we love to do. See you soon and good start in this new stage.
I hope we achieve our goal of owning a home too (we really want our own land but that's a bigger goal for down the road)! Thank you!
I appreciate your ongoing publications in the community. Take care ๐ ~
Good luck in all your future endeavors, especially that new home you're looking for.
Thank you so much! ๐
