Sometimes, it happens in good ways. Sometimes, in bad.
In the last month, I have experienced both. A whirlwind of emotions and thoughts. I have been unable to blog. I have had absolutely no desire to pick up my computer, log onto my blog, and just write. For that, I apologize.
I’m not sure that I even have regular followers anymore. Or, if I really ever did. But if you are out there, if you do exist, I apologize for my silence.
Hopefully, life will slow down for me soon. That is my wish. For there has been too much going on, and I am unable to wrap my head around all that has happened.
I have been keeping up on writing, but not here. There has been too much for me to share on my blog. Again, I apologize.
Know that I am here. I am alive. And, with any luck, I can be back to blogging soon.
But….. Likely not here. My year is up later this month, and I am still undecided on if I should keep this URL. There is too much that doesn’t belong. I don’t feel that this blog is really me anymore.
Still undecided…………. Still not sure. As with my life, there are a lot of uncertainties right now.
I just hope that you all can understand. Life isn’t what it was a year ago when I started www.thejakafiles.com……… Not at all what it was a year ago……..
However, if I choose not to keep this blog, you will all still be able to find me. Chances are I will start a new blog. If you are on my twitter, or my Facebook, I will let you know where I go. What new adventures I start. I will not fade into oblivion.
No matter how many uncertainties there are in this life, writing is what keeps my memories alive.
When all else fails, I can read my own blow and know that I truly did exist.


















A fresh start, a clean canvas, a new you – I think a new blog is a fabulous idea. I love you!
You better not fade into anything lady. You’re friends, like me, will be fucking pissed if you disappear. I will stab a kitten.
I’ve started over more than once, you do what you need to do to keep yourself sane, happy and as badass as always….your friends will be here for you, no matter where you go.

Love your guts mama
I <3 you and I know that this is just the beginning of wonderful things for you and your kids.
I know what you mean via the blogging aspect but I don’t doubt for a second that people are listening to you and reading you even without you being aware of their presence. I enjoy your blog, your tweets, YOU. I can’t be alone in that.
All the best to you, and if you do crank open a new start, I expect a little note to tell me where to find you. :)
