		<description>Brittni, I totally agree!  It&#039;s so important for any small business owner to take time off for recharging!  And the same holds true for any employee.  Employees typically do take time off thanks to vacation hours they&#039;ve accrued, etc.  It&#039;s so much harder for those who live and work online, a 24/7 culture!

Gabreial, thank you!  And happy holidays to you.</description>

		<description>Good morning! 

Great article. I do plan to take off some time from writing. As a blog writer, I think it is important to not loose site of yourself, and your goals. Everyone needs time off to refresh and renew. If I don&#039;t take time off here and there my creative flow begins to fail. It&#039;s also easy to get caught up in the materialistic things of the holidays when you run an internet business so I like to pull a way for a bit to re-grasp all of the things that are most important to me and it isn&#039;t shopping! 
Have a great day and a Merry Christmas.

		<description>Brenda. I think this is a great question to ask not just for makers, but for anyone that runs their own business. I know for me personally, it is very difficult to take any time off, but its really important to take some time (no matter what the length) to be away from work to recharge.

		<description>Thank you, Leah!  Such a good point - having young ones does require a different pace - particularly during the holidays!  Happy holidays to you and yours!</description>
