Problogger Darren Rowse initiated an unofficial Blogger Appreciation Day and the idea is to email another blogger with words of appreciation and encouragement. Fortunately he said it is also effective to write a post instead. And I have to write a post to express appreciation to the New Zealander Kara Leah Masina, because she has quite vaporized from the blogosphere.
Her blog was insightful, truth seeking, and had a lovely emphasis on art. She participated energetically in commenting on other blogs and was an exceedingly good neighbor in the blogosphere. I was deeply saddened when circumstances in her life led to the decision to take her blog down and withdraw from the online community.
However, she did leave the door open to possibly resuming her blogging at some unknown time in the future. In that hope, I leave these words here, where perhaps she might find them at some random moment when she googles her own name.
Kara Leah, it would be wonderful to have the chance to welcome you back if you come to a time when that is again a practical choice for you!

Thank you for your well wishes and the contribution to the carnival. I hope that you will submit again in the future. I will hopefully set up a new carnival wednesdayish.
I second this!

I miss KL and her blog, too! I was lucky enough to inherit her blog carnival from her, and occasionally she contributes to the discussions on my blog … I think she won’t be able to stay out of the blogosphere forever.
Nice to see her mentioned here!
Blessings,
Andrea
Yes, Gia and Andrea, I think there are quite a few of us who miss her. Thanks for adding your agreement here! I hope she does come back.
THANK YOU!
How wonderful to read this post after Andrea forwarded the link to me. Thank you Lexi – really made my day.
I do plan to come back to blogging eventually… right now concentrating on my career in the ‘real world’, and getting stuck into living life rather than writing about life.
So I’m still about, and still reading blogs.
Many blessings to you,
KL
