I just heard the news and am so sorry. Transitions are never easy, but often have a silver lining. Here’s to finding yours soon. You guys are in my thoughts!

Wow, I only just heard about this. I’m in one really sorry to hear you guys have split up but on the other hand its great you both came to the conclusion before things got very complicated, bitter or even nasty. I wish you both luck and hope to drop into CitizenSpace some time this year. I will also see you Tara in Newcastle in May for thinkingdigital

I know I’m late to the game hearing about this, but I’m really saddened to hear this.

Glad you will both maintain your professional and friendship relationships.

I’m bummed, but think you’re both fantastic folks that are additive to the industry.

Hi Tara!

I know I’m seeing you tomorrow night, but thought it appropriate to state here (so I don’t make you process it all with me in person… not that we don’t have to talk about it, but you know what I’m saying) that I’m actually just ‘getting’ that you two are actually split up for real. I had seen a tweet or two that made me wonder, but didn’t know for sure until today.

So, beyond a little shock (which I’m sure you’ve had to deal with only because everyone loves to see a happy couple!) and feeling your pain through such a tough decision… I just want to say that it takes great courage to come to a realization like this within a relationship.

Thank you for sharing yourself and being such an incredible dynamic woman both personally and professionally.

Look forward to toasting your new chapter tomorrow night!

Lots of love

I’ll leave the same comment as I just left for Chris, since it was meant for both of you:

The maturity and clarity with which you’ve approached and handled this situation amazes me, even if I simply observe from afar. You should be both be quite proud of yourselves. Please do remember to leave room to heal.

Hey,

I just saw this. I had felt that something was different from your twitters but did not know why. Anyway, so sad to hear this.

But so great the way that you have both handled this with sensitivity, gentleness and openness. I wish you all the best.

Hi Tara,

Having had the great experience of spending time getting to know you and Chris both professionally and personally over the last year my heart is with you both.

As you said, changes & transitions. You’ve both have been incredible honest & open with your friends & community and it’s inspiring to see you both continuing this approach through these times of changes.

I think is speaks volumes of both of you & what your company speaks for.

Wishes of happy days ahead from Montreal for you both.

Since I read your post and Chris’ a few days ago, I’ve been wondering how I can show my support without it just echoing everyone else’s comments.

But now, come to think of it, I will echo what everyone else said; we have huge amounts of respect for you both, you’re an inspiration to many of us and the way in which you’ve handled this situation goes to show that the end of a romance doesn’t necessarily have to mean the end of a friendship and long-term complicité.

And be happy it’s not Groundhog Day. It’s the day where you take one more step forward towards New Tara.

Lots of love from your fellow expat,
Vero
