ohmygosh, you guys. i think this is it.
now, before i get all melodramatic on  you - 
let me say -
bone sigh arts lives!
laughin' here.
that's not dramatic at all, is it?!
but the point is - bone sigh arts will still be around and you can still purchase bone sighs and spread the digital images and all that stuff.
it's just ME that's goin' away! or... um...well...
it's just me that's retiring. 

ohmygosh.  i kinda walk around asking myself 'who does this, terri?! who retires because of a dream?!' and then laugh because the answer always comes back as 'yeah, well who gets married because of a dream? you're just a darn lunatic!' and then i laugh, nod, and remember that i have to follow where i feel led. it worked for the marriage. i am trusting it will work for my future. 

so, here's the scoop. this will be my last newsletter.
but guess who will be running bone sighs?!
MY SONS!
i kid you not!

it will mostly be noah and zakk. josh will step in as needed. 
how incredibly cool is that?! 

i never once thought about 'leaving the business' to the boys! 
that just makes me laugh to even say it. 
but they asked for it. my only condition is that they take it for themselves to make a little extra money and do what works for them. i do not want them keeping this out of any obligation. if they find it doesn't work for them, they let it go.
(that's something to keep in mind. if you value it and want it to stay around, keep that in mind when you need a gift!)
they're all pretty busy guys with their own businesses. bone sighs will become part of their empire! so i'm sure there will be changes. not sure what all they'll want to offer and how they'll do that. that's entirely up to them. i AM sure that you will absolutely adore them. they're some pretty amazing fellas. 

we're juggling all the logistics right now. 
i'm not sure when exactly this is happening,
but i'm thinking it can happen any time in the next WEEK!
so if you place an order and it's not me on the other end -
you will be meeting one of my sons!

and me?
well, i think i'm going to be goofin' around,
trying to find the magic everywhere i can!

magic.
i believe in it.
following where you're led.
i believe in that too.
but don't let all that fool you -
i have moments where i cry and just feel so sad at the thought of this being over for me. i am absolutely terrified at letting this go. my eyes go wide and i absolutely feel fear. 
'terrified' really does sum it up sometimes. 
but that's all surface. and i have to remind myself of that. way down deep, way way down deep, there's a knowing. and when i remember, i lean into that.  i'm scared, i'm unsure, and yet, i know it's right. and i AM looking forward to opening to what life has in store for me. i can see a lot of joy waiting for me. 

i believe the guys will be sending out a newsletter introducing themselves and letting you know they've got the ball now.  i will spend some time writing a goodbye note to you guys this week. they told me they'll include that in their newsletter. so i will say a final goodbye then. cause you guys matter to me so much more than i can ever express. and i want to somehow try to honor all that you've given me. 

so i'll save the tears for then. 
i just wanted to give you a heads up as it's all moving so quickly!
