Popular US entertainment blogger Necole Bitchie has announced she will be shutting down her famous website (necolebitchie.com) after seven years.
In a lengthy essay titled, 'It’s Time For Me To Move On,' the site’s founder revealed on July 2, that the site has come to a close.
Necole explained that she has been feeling unfulfilled and desires to embark upon a more meaningful path.
''This
is probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do, and I will
cry after I write this. I’m am very saddened to announce that today is
my last day as a ‘celebrity gossip blogger.’ It’s also my last day
running the site as you know it, NecoleBitchie.com.'' she wrote.
After sharing her remarkable story of determination and success, Necole revealed where her true passion lies.
Despite
all of those things, I continued to notice that I was experiencing more
fulfillment and success from women coming to me on the street and
saying, ‘Your story inspires me so much!!’ than I did the, ‘You
got all the tea, I love your celebrity blog!!!’ I was getting more
fulfillment out of speaking engagements, panels and inspirational
interviews than I was flying to a luxurious location, given
freebies and standing next to someone famous. I began measuring my
success not by the amount of people who read my blog, or the money I
made, but by the number of people I was able to touch, motivate and
inspire.
She continued:
''I also
started to realize what purpose was – and I knew to be happy, I had to
start living a purpose-driven life. I had to start thinking about what I
wanted my legacy to be, and what steps I’d have to take to start living
in it. I think about how I want to be remembered all the time, and one
thing I know for sure is that I never wanted to be known for being JUST
‘a celebrity gossip blogger.''
She concludes:
Although it
is the end of Necole Bitchie – it’s not the end of my life journey. I’ve
only scratched the surface of my true potential. As I transition into
my next chapter over the next few months and hopefully launch something
new and positive, I can only hope for your continued support. It’s not a
‘good bye!’ per say. It’s a ‘See you soon!’'
After
providing information about the pop culture and being an inspiration to
so many bloggers around the world, we will surely miss you Nicole.
Goodluck!
