I have unfortunately lost my job after 17 years and it has been a major trauma as I am sure you can imagine. I will need to focus my energies on making sure my family and our home are taken care of and to that end will not be posting here at PP&P for a time.
I apologize to all the wonderful writers who have become my friends and who have shared so beautifully with the all the amazing photographs and art here. I do hope soon I will be in a position to refocus and resume this site and the joy that it has brought to my life.
But for now, it is with regret, that I will not be posting.

i sincerely hope for the best for you- and will keep you in my mind and heart. until you're return, adieu
I'm sorry to hear about your problems. I hope things will work out for you and I wish you lots of strenght.
I'm sure this is a scary time for you. I hope it is short-lived.
Thank you so much for the time you spent on this blog, encouraging and inspiring. I look forward to seeing you back here in the future.
Take care, get the important stuff back on track, and we'll be here waiting when you're ready to join us again.
I think Dani has a great idea and I'll also try to browse the archive when I'm in need of picture inspiration. So many great pictures that I didn't have time to write for.
Best of luck, I'm sure everything will work out for the best. I hope you end up with a better job than the one taken away from you.

LauraJayne,
Best of luck in navigating these unwelcomed waters.
"And you shall hear a voice behind you saying, 'This is the way, walk ye in it.'"
Thank you for the community you helped foster at PP&P. Most of those I follow and who follow me, I met on PP&P.
Hope to see you back some time in the future.

Thanks for a wonderful blog. It was here that I posted something to a blog that wasn't my own. I made a few blogger friends through Pictures, Poetry and Prose. Thank you Laura Jayne. Hopefully this situation will be short lived, I'll keep you in my thoughts ans prayers.
I am sorry to hear that and pray that things will get better soon. I have enjoyed this site tremendously and its beautiful, inspiring pictures. I will miss it. But I am hoping you will return, please let us know when you do. All the best to you, you will not be forgotten, it is just a temporary "goodbye". God Bless.
Thanks Laura for your daily inspirations - I'll miss you! I wish the best for you and yours. I'll be waiting right here when you come back.
I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers Laura. I've been where you are - I lost my job of 19 years. This was 4 years ago. The road has been rough. The road has been long. But you will come out the other side. Concentrate on your family and friends - find strength inside yourself.
Laura Jayne,
Things happen for the good sometimes, and I think you will be visited by a most serendipitous event. You have my sympathy, hope, and support--if I can help in any way, please let me know. Even if it is just to give you a psychological jolt to help you cope, resist depression, and keep your spirits high. You certainly are missed already and I for one would volunteer to help keep this site going.
Beat The System!!!

I'm so sorry for your troubles Laura Jayne. I will pray for you and your family. We will miss your wonderful creative inspiration here everyday.
We've been in the same place for five months, dear one. Take your time and see to what matters. Best wishes.
You and this site will be missed. Browsing the archives is a great idea. Best of luck, and I hope you find a job and can come back soon!
Laura Jayne...I am so sorry to hear about the job loss. I will be browsing the archives as well...thank yo so much for the inspiration and challenges during the past year and we all will be waiting for you ...take as much time as you need and we will be here when you get back. We will pray for you to find a new career even better than the one you had.
You are a special gem in the blogging world.

Oh my goodness,,I cannot help but be ANGRY. Not at you,,at the situaion. You have given a lot of support for all that have visited. Please feel free to drop by and visit anytime. If there is a way to help,, please let people know. glenn
My heart aches for you, Laura Jayne. But I know you are tough and you will come through this even better than before.
Before I even read Dani's post, I thought the exact same thing. I, too, will browse through the archives and continue to use PPP as my muse.
As you can see from the comments, we are all going to miss you dearly. Please come back when you are ready ... we'll all be waiting with open arms.
Take care. You have been a community builder. We share the sadness of your departure but we'll also celebrate heartily when you return.
Laura Jayne...Even though I am feeling your loss with you, I am also believing and feeling that there are much better days to come for you, in your career ahead. Believe it, girl...believe it. AND allow yourself some of this time to recover areas of yourself that may have been set aside.
I'll be praying for you, on the inside you, to keep your chin up - heart filled with encouragement and the support that you need at every turn.
Love to you.
Oh, you poor girl, how dreadful for you. Take care of you and yours, and take comfort from all your friends here.
With a site like this to include in your CV, there must be many employers who will realise your talents, and welcome you into their fold.
Look forward to seeing you back on your feet.
Much love
Christine :)
I am deeply saddened to hear your news; I wish and will hope for the very best for you and your family.
Whoa--that's big news. I'm sure it will lead to positive changes in your life. I feel luckier than most of the friends who have posted, because I live near you and will remain in touch even during this haitus. Obviously you have affected many people with your blog and comments. Good work, Laura Jayne! Talk to you soon, K.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, albeit belatedly.
Do what you have to do, we'll wait.
I am sorry! Hope everything works out eventually. My thoughts will be with you :)

Just so you know- if anyone drops by- I'm going to try to keep up this lovely tradition on Mondays on my blog. I'll tribute my Monday prompts to this blog, in case Laura Jayne returns- but for now I'll be posting pictures on Mondays with a prompt inspired from here. Thank you, Laura Jayne, for your wonderful blog! I hope things can settle for you and you can return. :)
I'm sorry to hear that...
Laura Jayne, I've missed sharing in your site with all of the other writer's; so I've begun a blog similar to this allowing all writer's and photographer's a place to share with one another.
Please visit at Write With Pictures.
I hope things are looking up for you :)

I am so sorry to hear about your losing your position after 17 years. Something very similar happened to me, but I discovered that there is a big world out there...just be persistent & keep an open mind.
You must be a very resourceful, creative person! I have just discovered your blog. What a wonderful idea!
Best of wishes to you and yours in your time of testing.
I am sorry to hear that... I hope the storm clears and your sun shines again...
I awarded your blog at mine... =)
Laura Jayne, I hope things are looking up for your family and will pray for you to get just the right job.
Laura Jayne, I just wanted to stop by again to say that I hope you are having some success with your search for suitable employment.
My thoughts and best wishes are frequently sent winging their way across the miles.
Keep smiling - a smile is all the more precious when it pierces through adversity.
