Time off is fine. Ive never been a big fan of these time off announcement that are borderline lectures. I fully recognize that being self employed and taking photos and video of yourself is not as easy as it sounds. That is especially true if you want to do a good job. However, it isn't like being a 24/7 on-call repair person where you might have wild swings in workload. With the type of content she is making, it should not be difficult to maintain "office hours" or compartmentalize time to respond to messages etc. I'm not complaining or saying she doesn't deserve time off. The wording comes off a touch condescending and just rubs me the wrong the way. I'd have to the same to say to most anyone with any job making the same kind of announcement. Go ahead and take time off, no need for the lecture.
