An August break? Really? You mean I don’t have to keep up with two blogs, two newsletters AND a facebook page full of frolicking fans? I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the sound of that.

It also scares me to death.

What if I forget how to write a blog post? Where will my readers go? What will happen to my SEO? (Frankly, I have never given a hoot about SEO but shhhhhhhhhhh, don’t tell anyone.)

Yes, I am taking part in an annual blogging break sponsored by Susannah Conway, photographer and blogger extraordinaire!

Her intention?

“Looking at August through your camera lens as a way to be more present this summer. And to have a little break from the pressures and expectations of regular blogging.”

Woo hoo! PERMISSION to take a break. I couldn’t wait for Wednesday to arrive but then, once it was here, I had no idea where to begin. I went back to her blog a dozen times trying figure out how to do this. 

I wanted to get it right.

I found out there was no right or wrong way to this. It is simply a break.

It occurred to me: I still don’t know how to take a break. Even with my foot in a cast from a little spill I took on Saturday. . .

I found a way to to prepare a chocolate banana bread

on crutches.

Somehow I think there is a lesson here. So check back tomorrow

and the next

and the next

to see how this August break unfolds.

 

Will you join me?
