Enjoying My Hiatus From Blogging
Buzz it
Hi everyone. I’ve been receiving a lot messages asking me what I’ve been up to lately, so this is just a quick post to address concerns that some of you may have.
I haven’t been writing as much because I’m taking a much needed break from blogging. We all need a change once in awhile to refresh our mind and spirit, and I am no exception.
Plus, my family was away all summer long and this is my chance to make up for lost time. I’m also using the time to make a few improvements to the theme/template.
In the mean time I’m still micro blogging on Twitter with news items that I find interesting. I’ve also added these short announcements into the newsfeed for now.
There’s a ton of resources here for you to check out so don’t forget to click on the menu items for more blog tips, tools and news from Blog Bloke.
I should be back to normal blogging shortly and thanks for understanding. In fact, I’ve noticed that my traffic and newsfeed subscriptions are still rising and your continued support is very much appreciated.
Cheers, and blog on!

I just don’t know how you can enjoy your time away from blogging. If you work hard now then maybe in a couple of years you could just use simple updates on your blog and make money. I hope you think about working hard now and playing later.

It’s easy - I’ve been blogging hard for at least 6 years now and I believe I’ve earned a break.

At least yours was planned, I was hijacked for 2 months due to stupidity and a torn ligament LOL.
I posted all about it about a week ago. No worries on the guest posting, I haven’t forgotten. I’m just getting back into the swing.

It means “Pure Life”. Living in the moment and living here and now. It’s a Costa Rican expression printed on EVERYTHING!!
