🌞🌞 Health Update & Summer Break Reminder 🌞🌞

Hello there folks! I'm just popping in with an update and a reminder that we are taking our summer break. 

First the update. As some of you will have noticed, things have been a little bit behind here at The Path of Positivity. We've yet to publish the winner announcement for April, started our June challenge 10 days late, then the midway didn't get posted when I had planned.

 

The reason for all of this is that I have been extremely ill for the last several months. I have been battling some pretty serious health problems that have left me with a number of ailments, including a lack of stamina and an inability to apply myself to activities requiring mental fortitude. It got to a point where I was unable to even hold my head up for very long, never mind sit a computer and work. 

 

These issues culminated in a seven day stay at the hospital where I underwent an invasive medical procedure followed two days later by surgery. I have been back home a little over a week and while I am healing, it is definitely a struggle. While two of my medical issues have been mostly resolved there are still two that need addressing soon. I just don't have a time table as of yet. 

 

As a result of all of this, my ability to get any work on the blog done has been extremely hampered. Even now, I am only able to sit and work at the computer for very brief periods of time before I become completely exhausted.

 

Therefore it is good timing that we have come to our annual break. Over the last few years, we have made the decision to take time off in the summer. This year we will again be off for the month of July AND the month of August. Typically, 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.

This year, the timing of our break couldn't be better given the health issues I am dealing with. I hope that we will be back in September but it will depend on how things progress. I need to take some time right now to focus on myself until my health is better on track. 

 

Now, if you are waiting on the Winner Announcements from our April and May challenges, I hope to be able to put them together before the start of September. I will do my best but I can't make any promises.  

 

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 7th for our next challenge (as long as everything goes according to plan). My hope is that in taking this time off, I'll be able to come back in the fall, stronger and renewed. 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.

 

 

PS: Don't forget that since we started late in June, the current challenge doesn't end until Wednesday, July 10th, at 11:59 p.m. You can find the link for that challenge by clicking HERE.

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 the years go by, I'm finding that my health challenges are interfering with my ability to spend as much time on the computer as I used to. Additionally, I also need to be spending more time with my hubby and with getting some decluttering done in our house. I am hoping that the next two months will help provide me with a little extra time to do that.

 

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 1st for our next challenge (as long as everything goes according to plan). My hope is that in taking this time off, I'll be able to come back fresh in the fall. 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!

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!

Over the last few of years, we have made the decision to take time off in the summer. In 2017 & 2018 we took both July and August off but this year we'll just be away for the month of July. We take a break for the following reasons:

1. Since it is summer time here in North America, Britain, Europe and other locales around the world, 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.

Summer Break

Hello there folks! In case you missed it, I just published the winner announcement for Challenge #59. It was supposed to be done at the end of June but alas, life once again interfered with those particular plans. If interested, you can scroll down one post to find it.

During that post the last week of June, I was also supposed to mention that we would be going on break for the summer. Thus, apologies to anyone who has been wondering where we've been.

Over the last couple of years, we have made the decision to take both July and August off for the following reasons:

1. Since it is summer time here in North America, 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.

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 3rd for our next challenge. We will be continuing with our year long study into colour at that time.

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 difficult.

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