It has been a crazy few months what with workshops and open days and the launch of the online shop. But it has got me thinking about why we load ourselves with so much to do.

I went to a special friend's 40th birthday on Saturday and she knows me well enough to raise an eyebrow and reprimand me when I am working too much. And she has had to do that a lot lately. I keep telling concerned family and friends that when it is your own business, you have to invest a lot of time and energy (which is true). But, what I often over-look, is that sometimes working yourself to a standstill doesn't help anyone and that taking time out is as necessary as pulling an all-nighter.

So I am going to pledge that every now and again, I don't schedule anything and take a day off. This will be the 'petrol' needed to run 'my car'!
