Due to some unexpected turn of events, I’ve lost a bit of puff today. This is the flip side of blogging community, I suppose. I’ve done all I can to develop a thick skin, but sometimes, these things still get to me. In any case, whatever remaining energy I have for now, I need to use it on my “real work stuff” - and tune off everything else at the moment. I’m sure I’ll bounce back soon enough.
Anyway, I hope you don’t mind that I take a break from today’s 52WoC. I’m leaving 52WoC#16: Bring-a-Friend open for now. Will post a new task in the next few days. Or, worst case scenario: next week.
Hope you have a good week ahead.

If anyone deserves a break, it’s you! I’ve been busy this week and didn’t get the chance to participate in this week’s event, now I’ll look into it again later in the week. Enjoy the break, and eat some of that chocolate! It’s the best therapy

You’re one helluva busy woman so you do deserve this break. I was wondering how you manage so many blogs and stay on top of all of them! You’re definitely a blogging superwoman. Whatever the reasons are for your hiatus, do know you’re stronger than all of them. You’ve got your strong will, your good heart, your family, friends and fans like us to support you. Take care, Shai!

Hi Shai,
I found this blog a couple of weeks ago when I started blogging and looked up fellow bloggers in Adelaide. All the best for your break. I hope you enjoy some choc!

By golly you of all people deserve a break. I don’t know how you keep up your schedule the way you do….like wonderwoman! If it makes you feel any better I’ve been neglecting my blog to. Real life tends to get in the way when I least expect it
Rest up!

I read this to say that someone has said something bad or made something against you in blog/internet world? I hope not and if so, I know that you’ll be okay soon. You seem to me to be so strong and full of great ideas all the time! You know you have a huge fan club, just you take care now!

You just put your feet up, snap off a square of chocolate and indulge yourself with a well-earned break, Shai. We’ll all still be here when you get back, my friend.

Hey Shai! I thought it was challenging to keep up your high rate of knots! No worries from this direction- I’m amazed you can put so much into your blog and 365 pix with only 24 hours in a day, plus 2 kids, a husband a household and an outside job! Yikes, girl- you’re overachieving. The world will still love you with a quarter the input!
I’m still not putting much in my blog except random thoughts and explorations and I don’t feel one iota of stress about it- no one much ever reads it, but I get to express myself happily.
I can use the excuse that uni. has been heavy on the brain lately, but that’s about it!
Take some time out, have a coffee with friends (hint…hint).

I’ve been meaning to thank you all for your supportive words. And so, I’m taking this opportunity. I really do appreciate knowing that I have friends like you who’re here for me - in good and tough times. Thank you, thank you.
