Slak is the Dutch word for snail. Where spelling mishaps turn lethal ;)
It's what I've been doing already, really, cutting myself some slack, but I'm making it official: I'm taking a blog break for the Summer. I could make it huge and tearful, but the truth is - while there have been things I wanted to blog about pretty much daily, I just haven't been able to make it happen. Time... It's all about the constraints of time and everything I want to do. And where those two clash, that's where my blog has been.
I've been feeling guilty about it - of course - and I'm not promising things will be better soon, necessarily, but I mean for things to be better soon. I mean to find a way to make it all work. In fact, I bought a book called Making It All Work, it's written by David Allen, and I intend to read it. In pockets of time ;) Because it's a recurring theme in my life, really - the fact that not all really works...
I will be back, because I love sharing my stuff here, and I really love that you guys are out there - reading and telling me what you think. I'm missing it. But I can't keep asking for your attention when I've got nothing to say - there's too much of that going around in the world anyway. So I will be in touch when I've got things - a little more - under control... I'd love to see you then!!
Meanwhile, have a great Summer! Rain, shine or heat waves, I hope you find a way to enjoy what this season brings! Thanks so much for being here & out there!
Have a nice time during your vacations, and i hope to "see" you back after it. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great summer, and enjoy your blog break without feeling guilty. You WILL make it all work, especially if you can cut yourself some sla(c)k every now and then. Great drawing and simultaniously a good mantra too
ReplyDeleteDon’t feel guilty! Enjoy your summer with squirt and your sketching pals. We’ll be here when you return! {{hugs}} (stop by FaceBook once in a while though, just because…)

ReplyDeleteI love the sketch and play on words. I hope you have a good break. I completely understand about the constraints of time. We can only do what we can do! Take it easy on yourself :)
