I took off last week to enjoy some time with friends and family and to celebrate the holiday weekend. I made no announcement about where I planned going or when I planned on leaving. This will probably continue.I feel it's best for my privacy. I lost a few clients because of my abrupt departure but I am fine with that. There are times when I like to do things without planning, and without the thoughts of the needs of anyone but myself. Taking time to myself to satisfy my needs is a necessary part of self care. I'm sorry if this sounds selfish. This summer has been busy, and I'm grateful to all who have been keeping me busy. In order for me to continue giving my best, I've realized I need to take at least a week off per month....and perhaps more.....As much as I love entertaining, I also love my alone time. As a loner, a true loner, I need solitude more than many. That solitude however will never be without my beloved little dog. He is the one being I never tire of.

So now that I'm back in the city, and have had a couple of busy days, I'll be putting off accepting clients until Friday, perhaps I'll see you then
