With the exception of my son, this blog is the only thing that I have devoted this much time to consistently, and with any measure of success. I\u2019ve never had a pet this long. They all run away. I\u2019ve never even kept a plant alive and thriving more than 4 months. The very fact that this blog is still in existence is a minor miracle. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:bold\">After six years of being on blogger I am thrilled to announce that this blog will be  moving over and joining <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patheos.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Patheos<\/a> and I will also have a regular featured column, called \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.patheos.com\/About-Patheos\/Katrina-Fernandez.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">More Than Mortal Beauty<\/a>\u2018. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, the idea was a bit scary. I\u2019m terribly attached to this blog and it\u2019s format. Who doesn\u2019t hate change? In fact, I\u2019m still a little nervous. How will The Crescat look over there? And my archives, my precious archives. What about the quirky side bar? It\u2019s unnerving to have those things thrust into the hands of someone else, even a very competent IT someone else. But everyone has to grow up and mature some time, right? And it looks like I will be <a href=\"http:\/\/markshea.blogspot.com\/2011\/09\/big-news.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">in good company<\/a>.   <\/p>\n<p>The move should be made by the end of this week. The IT fairies are working diligently to transfer archives over and redirect this link to the new Patheos site. When all is complete I will post the url so you can continue to follow my shenanigans. I do hope you will continue to visit me over there. I appreciate all my readers and their contributions and I want to thank you all for being with me over the years and experiencing this journey in the making. <\/p>\n<p>God bless to you all. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-Ek8ELLSXRH0\/ToOldOs0imI\/AAAAAAAAHFA\/CppAsjKFlNk\/s1600\/the%2Bend.jpg\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;width: 400px;height: 311px\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-Ek8ELLSXRH0\/ToOldOs0imI\/AAAAAAAAHFA\/CppAsjKFlNk\/s400\/the%2Bend.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not really the end, just a new beginning.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/18613340-8067521327804936255?l=thecrescat.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 It\u2019s hard to fathom that I\u2019ve been plunking away at this blog since fall of 2006.
