You may not believe this, but it's true!

I am taking the ENTIRE month of August off from grooming!

I've already contacted many of my clients letting them know that I'm shutting down for 31 glorious days!

Ta Da!

You ROCK ! Now, the trick is to keep July and September at your new reduced level, so you don't compensate for August those two months. You know, kind of like a teacher having a personal day, and spending fifteen hours preparing to be out and a week recovering from being out !

Great job in putting yourself first! Everyone deserves some R&R. I hope you still continue to whittle down your client list.

I agree with DianeO, don't overwork in July in Sept. That won't be easy. As the owners hear the news, they automatically think "I better get Lovey into Peps in July or Sept"

Hey good for you! Now do it every year! Everyone in France takes a 6 week vacation in late summer. We should too. Oh wait, I am on permanent vacation! Enjoy. Diane S

Devon, I am very impressed by your decision to take a month off this summer. That's some serious commitment to caring for yourself.

Respect.
