After these messages, we'll be right back

After two solid weeks of work travel (during which I managed to keep my blogging going strong), I came home and found that I had a pile of work planning and home responsibilities that needed my urgent attention. So, my valiant efforts at continuing to post this week fell off. 

To that end, I've decided to take a break. Sometimes we need to know that we can take a break on some things and when it is appropriate to do so. 

I'll be back on Monday, September 19th with fresh content for you all week.

I'm hoping to spend the rest of this week catching up at work and with home-front stuff and then use my weekend to tippy-tap-type and blog away.
