Resto4Life is closing its doors

Sad news on the druid blogger front. Phaelia of Resto4Life fame will be closing her doors on March 19th. Resto4Life is, in many people's opinions, is one of the best Druid healing blogs out there. Phaelia is one helluva intelligent resto druid, and a funny blogger to boot.
Phaelia posts that she's ending her bloging for a number of reasons, chiefly among them is that there is a new baby tree that her and Mr. Phae are expecting. So despite our sadness at seeing her go, there couldn't be a better reason!
The community over at Resto4Life is really quite a good one, and as such Phaelia is going to make a final post in March comprised of all the reader submitted screenshots and artwork she gets. And to add to the coolness of it, she's randomly awarding a Belkin Nostromo Speedpad N52TE to someone who submits some artwork, purchased with the money she's made from the site.
Class act all around, and a great site that will be missed.

Sad news. Phaelia's threads on using the n52te were a source of vindication, inspiration, and jealousy.
First, that a serious player and respected class lead was a proponent for one of my favorite, if publicly derided, gaming peripherals. Here was someone whom folks actually listened to showing them how to up their game with the n52te.
That inspired me to do my own 'how to' videos for the n52te.
And the jealousy; that phaelia got public kudos for it and her profiles and explanations were so much more elegant. Sigh.
Part of me is happy she's relinquishing the limelight, but most of me is sad a hero is retiring.
Guess I better get back to making my vids. Maybe I'll do the druid profile i was planning in tribute.
To Phaelia; remember, Green side up!

Myself being a restoration druid, will miss the aid and antics from Mrs.Phae. Sad to see her go, and we all appreciate the work she's done, and yes, I'm speaking for the whole community whether you like it 'er not!
Thanks for the heads up, WI.

I have to say, Resto4Life was one of the best WoW blogs PERIOD, not just Druid. I loved its artistic sense, its intelligent posts, and the humor and sense of community it had. That was an extremely rare combination.

Damn it!
At least we still have the daily druid, right Dan?

Resto4Life is probably the best druid site out there, as far as comprehensive knowledge of how to play resto. I wouldn't have gone resto without her. It's sad when such an integral member of our community leaves, but as mentioned its for a great reason.
Good luck Phae!

As a recently converted resto druid, phae's blogs educated me on everything from gear to when to use (or not use) certain abilities. You will be dearly missed Mrs. Phae. Good luck and congratulations. ^_^

A class act all around, /farewell and thanks for all you have done.

@Dunnion: Phae has said that she will likely leave the site up for the time being, which is good because many of her posts are great references for various topics.
Best of luck to Phae & her family.
