Making Progress
Hi everyone! So I wanted to give a quick update. Thank you for continuing to submit names. I have updated the wait list to the right ---> and I have actually had some time to write some names as well. I am in the process of editing the photos and I anticipate posting some time this week. The names with an asterisk (*) to the right are the names that have been written and are awaiting being posted. Again I thank you for your patience while I get back into the swing of things. I hope mother's day was kind to you all. Much love and light.

My absence
I am embarrassed by the amount of time that has passed since my last post. Life has a way of getting busy. I do apologize for my absence. I have still been getting name requests in the meantime. Thank you for still keeping this site alive. I have been updating the wait list, and Im a bit overwhelmed by the number of names in waiting. Im tempted to close requests but don't worry I will not. It only has opened my eyes to the fact that this service is needed. I must find a way to get caught up and I will try my very best to do so. If you have requested a name in the past I am very sorry for the delay. I anticipate to start writing names again very soon. Thank you all for your patience. Sending you all love and light.

Thank you
Id like to take a moment to thank everyone of you that has ever visited this blog, emailed me with your stories, taken the time to read about Genesis and my story, made a request, remembered Genesis... just anything. If Names On The Sidewalk has ever even just crossed your mind.... Thank you.
I mentioned a little while ago that I sort of felt like I lost myself and needed to focus a little more on my own journey and thus the break here on the blog. And thankfully I have been able to do that a little bit more. I think it also has something to do with the fact that Genesis' 5 year anniversary is coming up in March. I think Im sort of preparing myself for that. At any rate, despite my being away you lovely readers still have continued to comment, email me and make requests.
I want you to know that I read every single comment and email. I read every single story you all send me. And every single one of them touches my heart. When I get emails and comments letting me know that what I do has made a difference to them, it moves me to tears, literally. Happy tears. It makes me remember why I started doing this in the first place. And that is a huge encouragement to me.
It amazes me that through my precious Genesis, I have been able to reach countless families. And that our children unite us, and have brought us to each other, and has been a comfort for us. The effect they had on the world in their short stay is so profound that words escape me. So to their parents, family, friends... to you, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the constant reminder that no matter how small the gesture, remember our children does make a difference to many.

Mia
Hello friends,
Im sorry I have been away for so long. I have still been getting name requests and I have updated the wait list to the right ---> If you have requested a name please check to make sure your child's name is there. If I have missed you, I apologize. Please resubmit your request and I will update the list.
I wanted to explain my absence. I have a very full plate to say the least. I was doing all I could for the BLM community to bring peace to hurting families. Im proud of the work I have done and I do it all in the name of my sweet Genesis. Having said that though, I felt that I had got to a place where now I felt like I needed someone to come and comfort me. I was not focusing on my own journey through grief and I sort of lost myself in the process of helping others. Who am I to try to help others when I can't even help myself? I felt I needed to step back for a while. Take a break from it all. I have been mia on Facebook as well and even put the Etsy shop on vacation.
Know that you can still make requests, I just don't know when I will get around to posting. Also please know that I think of you and your children often. You are never far from my mind and always close to my heart.
I hope that 2012 brings you peace and love.

Such an honor
I cannot tell you how honored I was to be asked to be part of something so meaningful. I was brought to tears. And for one of my pictures to be with beautiful baby Journey for all eternity is just something that leaves me speechless. To see more photos and read about the service please visit Heather's blog here.
