So can I tell you how pissed off and invariably heartbroken I am right now?? I can’t fucking believe that after only four months the Moms group that I blog for (Silicon Valley Moms Group) is shutting down.
Actually the group has been around for four years but I’ve only been a part of it for four months. I really loved being a part of it. It’s helped me to write more and explore avenues outside of myself and my family. I just went to an event last month in NYC and met some incredible ladies and got some awesome stuff and it didn’t look like they were doing all that bad. They also had another event last weekend in DC and now BOOM, it’s over.

I’m just in a state of shock and sadness over all this. What the fuck am I supposed to do now?? Are there any other groups out there like this one?? I’m sure there are and I will find them, but DAMN! Why’d it have to be like this?
I’m brand spanking new to this whole blogosphere thing, and my position as contributor to the NYC Moms Blog was my foot in the door. Now my toes hurt cause the door slammed shut on them. OUCH!
I get it that the founder lost her mother and needs to be with her family. I do not fault anyone for wanting to do what is best for themselves and their families. I’m just feeling a little angry and hurt over the whole thing. That’s all.
Ramblings of a Semi-Conscious Mastermind Mommy 
I only started writing for them in March of this year and was devastated by the news. The scotch is helping, but only because I wasn’t equipped with proper coping mechanisms 😛
Why can’t someone else take over either until she decides to return or just let someone else take over indefinitely! Seems unfair if there are others who want to continue with it
There are other factors apparently that have been weighing on the management team as a whole. They have not disclosed what those issues are, but I have come to grips with the fact that the group is closing and I have to move on. Some things are continuing like our book club and I am looking for a new group to write for. Thank you for your suggestion, but of course, this matter is completely out of my hands.
