“Honorable Closure”, Gremlin-Taming® and How to Say Goodbye with an Open Heart
Cultural Anthropologist Angeles Arrien would call the subject of this blog post “Honorable Closure.” I’ll add that it is also my way of saying goodbye with an open heart.
As I write this post I notice my shoulders are tense, my brow is furrowed and my breathing is a bit shallow. I also notice I have many mixed emotions about writing my last post on this blog. So excuse me while I take a minute out to center myself and come back to the page.
—————
Okay, I’m back. I’ve taken the last five minutes and employed Rick Carson’s Gremlin-Taming® Method and find myself much more aware of “home base” as Rick says, and breathing more deeply.
Having said that, I need now to say Good-bye and Thank you.
It has been my joy and my pleasure to write the posts for this blog over the past six months. It has been an honor to receive your comments. And it has been very fulfilling to learn from many of you that the information you’ve read here has contributed to your overall Wellness and made a positive difference in your lives.
By bringing “Honorable Closure” to this blog, I’m in process myself of minding my own Wellness advice — I’m practicing the Sacred Attitude called Do Less. I’ve pared back. I’m focused on opening new Salad Creations franchises in the Bay Area and will be limiting my role as Life Coach to one day a week. That should give me more time for reading, swimming, Qi Gong, and longer walks with my husband. It may even give me time to write a more personal blog for fun. (I’ll let you know if I do so, over at my main Coaching website.)
If this is your first visit here, let me add a Welcome to the Goodbye. I welcome you to what will now be a Wellness Library of posts for you to read at your leisure. My e-book, Seven Sacred Attitudes®, continues to be available for purchase here, and I hope you’ll find it to be a Wellness resource for a lifetime.
If you have been a reader for a while now, feel free to re-visit the information – posts filed under the Nutrition, General Wellness tips,Wellness Coaching and other 
categories are timeless. May the material continue to serve you.
To all of you, a deep bow of gratitude for stopping by.
May you be well.
Namaste,
Erica

Holly,
Thank you. I will keep you (and everyone) posted over there (and here) about what is next for a new blog… and for how this one will possibly continue in a new form:)
Whew! What a journey. Thank you so much for sharing your words with us and now I’ll make sure to link to the personal website.
Monica,
You are most welcome! Thank YOU for your loyalty and support of my work in the world. Yes, please stay in touch by linking to the main website: http://www.EricaRossKrieger.com I’m sure I won’t stay away from the blog world for long:)
Erica,
I am personally saddened that you have decided to close this blog. The information you shared was helpful and important.
Nevertheless, I understand your decision and realize that your journey is now heading along a different path.
Your work with Salad Creations will be exciting and rewarding and I wish you great success, my dear friend.
Hello Eileen,
Thanks for stopping by and for your good wishes. The blog will stay up, and though I’m not posting, I’ll be leaving the doors open for those who wish to browse…so it’s okay to send friends over who could use the info in the archives &/or who want to get the ebook. I’m just sayin’
So sorry to see you shutter the house up but I am happy that you have made a decision that feels right for you Erica. May your new venture bring you an interesting and fun experience!
Nice to hear from you Philippa! Thanks much for the good wishes on the new venture. All the nest on yours!
I’m also working on a way to still keep the “house” open here for visitors, without boarding it up completely. May have a guest or two pop in for a post now and again. I shall let you know.
Meantime, if you use Twitter, feel free to follow me and I’ll follow back.
I’m @EricaRKrieger on Twitter.
Oops, that’s all the BEST on yours Philippa!
