Summer Break Reminder

Hello there folks! I'm just popping in with a reminder that we are taking our summer break. I mentioned it during most of our posts published in June but figured it would be best to remind everyone in a separate post as well.

Over the last few years, we have made the decision to take time off in the summer. This year we will be off for the month of July AND the month of August. We take a break for the following reasons:

1. Since it is summer time here in North America, Britain, Europe and other locales in the northern hemisphere, many of our players are out of the house and enjoying the warmer weather;
2. My hard working Design Team deserves a little bit of time off; and 
3. It gives me the opportunity to do some catching up with everything I'm always so far behind on by mid year.

The reason we are taking off two months is specifically related to me. As some of you are aware, the start of the year was a difficult one for me with my health and I had to close the blog for two months. Even being sick in the past, I've never actually had to shut the challenge down before. Even though I am physically feeling better, that illness continues to take a toll on me. I find that my energy and stamina are still lagging. I also need to be spending more time with my hubby who is dealing with his own internal traumas. I am hoping that the next two months will help us both out.

 

Now if you are waiting on the Top Picks and Winner Announcement from our June challenge, we'll be back with those posts in September, taking place during the 2nd and 4th weeks of the month in their regular spots.

I truly hope that you will all continue to support us when we return on September 2nd (as long as everything goes according to plan) for our next challenge. My hope is that in taking this time off, I'll be able to continue to keep the blog open for the remainder of the year. Your understanding is appreciated.

For the time being, I really hope that those of you living in the northern hemisphere are all enjoying your summer and for those of you in the southern hemisphere, I hope that your winter isn't too harsh. It is my fondest hope that you are able to make the most out of the next two months, whatever your circumstances in life!

Take care everyone, stay walking on your own Path of Positivity if you can and we'll see you all again real soon.
