Sharing this wonderful reminder from SaaniaSparkle. ~MJ
Quite often, we get deeply embroiled in our hectic lifestyles with deadlines to meet and a continual pressure on our shoulders to “be productive”.

My upcoming 2 books are a year late, Ed. I’d love to take a break, too, but I have a year to make up. However, I’ve forced myself to work less hours through the day and give myself little breaks now. Good luck with your trilogy. You’ll get it done.

I’ve learned that the hard way, Diana. I give myself little breaks now, but I’d love a longer one at one time. My semi-neglected blog shows I’m trying to give myself breaks. Enjoy your weekend.

Agreed. I’ve cut back on it, but it kind of just happened without intending to. I like that I did though. 👍 Hard to be invisible for long when you have to market a business.

That’s true. But breaks give up the renewed energy to market. When I’m tired and overwhelmed, I can’t sell a dollar for fifty cents.
