I was dismayed this week to discover that one of my favorite bloggers, HocusPocus13, a.k.a. “Jinx” has left the building.
Jinx was a voracious blogger and re-blogger. In addition to her own really cool and unique posts, she also scoured WordPress for the best of the best. Jinx often put up as many as 20-30 posts a day, all containing a bit of magic. Her motto was “path to a more productive life.” Her wise words were full of sound advice, scintillating spells, yummy recipes, beauty and creativity.
Over the past few days, I noticed there had been nothing posted by HocusPocus13 in my feed. This was unusual. Perhaps she was slowing down the pace? Maybe she was on vacation, or had taken a brief hiatus? (After all, blogging can be hard work!)

Disappointing, but such is life, both real, and in the blogosphere. Blogging is a full-time avocation. I’ve been at it almost ten years, in my retirement. I have the time, but I can’t count the number of favorite blogs that have gone dormant in that period. 😦

Your point is a good one. I was active from 2008 until 2017 when certain family / life matters precluded any more work. I have returned, but I am not certain that I can stay. I do remember Jinx / Hocuspocus13 and her wonderful work. I suppose it is true that all things must past. Thanks for sharing your insight and confirming what so many of us have encountered.
