Yes, I’m back and raring to go! I’m on a mission to finish this year strong.
Hope I was missed, lol!
I’m so GLAD I decided to take a break from blogging and my online business. I needed it!
I had so much fun with my kids, spending a lot of time with them than I’m used to. I absolutely loved it and I decided to take the whole month off in the end! Wise move, indeed 
I must admit, it was kinda strange when I got back online. But I’m slowly getting back into the full swing of things.
I’m now refreshed, focused and ready to take advantage of the final quarter of the year – the busy and exciting period of the year for the online marketers. See why here:
Now, when contemplating my much-deserved break, I thought of abandoning my blog for those couple of weeks but thankfully, I decided against that.
As I mentioned before, I have worked so hard to get it to where it is today. I have built a loyal reader base in a short space of time and I just didn’t want a couple of weeks to spoil that.
So, my good friends and fellow bloggers stepped in and held the fort while I was having a break. And they did a fantastic job – they shared some amazing tips and resources and interacted with my readers in a very professional manner.
You guys ROCK! I cannot thank you enough for making guest posting on Attraction Marketing Online a success!
I’ll list their posts below in case you missed them. I know that you’ll learn a lot from them. It would be much appreciated if you could leave a comment and share with the universe!

Hi Mavis, congrats on being able to relax. I am glad you enjoyed taking the break and playing with our babies.
I have done the same and in fact had to surrender to the fact that it IS summer and the kids are off. To be honest, although a tough adjustment, I realize that the reason I stay home and do what I do is so I CAN enjoy them. Besides they grow far to quickly.
Glad we are both on the same page when it comes to our precious gifts from God. We have many years to make money and run a business but not very long to savour the kids while they still want us!
lots of love
Jayne

Hey Jayne,
I couldn’t agree with you more – we need to spend more time with our babies
They grow so fast, it’s important to strike a balance to make sure that we’re not solely focused on our businesses.
Great to see here my friend.

Kids are going back to school. Normality is fast approaching. Your stand in bloggers were awesome, but i have to say it is you that totally ROCKS. You have created both an awesome blog and network, but i still see you active and sharing the ‘love’. You are an inspiration to all of us wannabe pro-bloggers. You have reached so high in the blogging world, but you are still so approachable and supportive. I’ll be keeping a close eye on you, to learn what i can lol.

Welcome back Mavis, sounds like it was a much needed break and you had the best time ever with your kids. I love hearing that kind of news.
I think we all had a good time while you were away. I for one am so honored you even asked me to write a guest post and thrilled to see who else was on the list. Wise choice young lady. Your readers are fun and I always enjoy responding to comments so I had had a good time. Was a busy month for me as well but so happy to do it.
Thanks for the mention above and I look forward to what’s in store for us all. Have a fabulous day!

Read up, guys! Plenty of insightful keen lessons here.
As for the break, well done Mavis
So tuff to let go and grow at times but it’s almost always a high energy decision because if anything, we hold off on taking breaks for too long a time.
Thanks again Mavis, I appreciate you and all the value you spread!

Thanks Mavis,
Wonderful to be featured here on your blog, especially amongst such company.
It’s so healthy to spend some time away from our blogs and businesses on occasion. Really connecting with family and other priorities is essential to keep it all in perspective, and I’m sure this break was a valuable rest for you.
That said, it’s great to have you back again!
Chat soon,
Jym
You’re welcome, Jym! Thank YOU so such a fantastic guest post!
Agreed – it’s really important to take a break from time to time. Yes, I had a good rest!
All the best,

Yes, Guest blogging is touching to new heights today, as it is beneficial to both writer and blog owner. Starting a new blog and establishing it is a time consuming process but guest blogging has made it more simple to contribute on a blog which is already well established.
That’s true, Ajay. Guest-posting is very powerful.
Welcome to my blog!
Mavis
Hi Mavis,
Thanks for sharing with us these great posts from your guest posters! I kinda missed some of them actually, so I’ll be reading them then. Have a good day!
Glad you got that much needed break. I bet your kids loved every moment that you were on vacation.

Welcome back, and of course you were missed! I can’t wait to read all these posts.
Thanks, Tomika. Glad to hear that.
We all need a break, good idea to get some of your talented friends to guest post while you were out. Read their work, it was very good. Guest posting is not only a great way to increase your readers but to share good information with another group of people.
Precisely – it gives you the opportunity to put your content in front of a new audience.
Glad you liked my guest bloggers’ post, Miguel.
Mavis
It seems like you are so ready for the challenges of the final quarter of this year in marketing. Good luck Mavis!
Thanks very much, Noel.
