It came to my attention this week that people had been stealing photos from my blog and sharing them with other people without my permission. Not friends of mine – but people I don’t know.
I thought very hard about this decision because, well, I like blogging. A lot. I enjoy being able to share my life with others, get support and encouragement, and maybe (hopefully) be an inspiration to someone else.
Unfortunately, that just isn’t possible any longer. I put a lot of myself out there and to know that someone has chosen to disrespect my privacy is too much. Shame on you, whoever you are.
I will still be blogging to keep track of my crafty endeavors. If that is an interest of yours, you may visit me there. http://peacesoup.wordpress.com/
Lynlee, This makes me very sad. I loved reading about your life and hopes and dreams and inspirations. Even though I have never met you, I admired you greatly for all you’ve gone through, all you’ve done!
People suck!!!!!!!!!

WHAT??!!
How did someone not on your “ok” list get the password??!! Are the images googleable with out passwords? That is such a fear of mine, so sucky that it happened to you! I’ll miss your posts. (hug)

Thanks, ladies.
S – Protected posts don’t show up on google (therefore the images are safe, too). Apparently either someone I allowed to have the password did it, or someone gave the password to someone else who did.

Lynlee people suck ass. I am sorry some shithead has ruined your (and our) blogging experience.
Just so you know you have totally been an inspiration to me.

I’m sorry to hear it! I’ve been reading since shortly before the birth of the twins and always look forward to a Pax or animal update.
I’ll definitely be reading your craft blog. You are quite talented.

Lynlee, I’m sorry to see you’ve had to do this. Like everyone else, I enjoyed reading about your life and choices even though I’ve never met you. I will now bookmark your craft blog.

Lynlee, I am soooo sadened by this!! It makes my heart ache for you and everyone involved I hope that the images did not make it far and I hope one day you decide to blog again! I loved reading about you, your journeys and anything else that happened in your life. You inspired me to go back to school and I have now in 18 days completed my degree and I will graduate with honors!
Thank you for putting yourself out there for others and know that we all loved and appreciated you VERY MUCH!!!

Unfortunately there is no privacy on the net. People can do whatever they want with it’s published for the universe. It is hard … after the BTK thing broke out, I regressed and stopped blogging because I was freaked out ;(

: ( That is so totally crappy. You are the surro QUEEN, and I’m going to miss Pax’s spunkiness lighting up this corner of the world too. You ARE an inspiration, and I’m sorry you were violated the way that you were. I know no details, but is it okay if I hope some total and complety rational explanation is brought to you so that those of us who don’t get to see and talk with you IRL don’t get you taken away like this?
That’s what I’ll do (see Dorky Nicki sitting with fingers crossed, anxiously awaiting good news…)

I miss you too. I get several hits a week on my blog, looking for “lynlees blog” or some variation thereof. So the whole cyber world misses you!
