Holiday Time Management

It's Black Friday, which means sometime today you will find yourself in line at a crowded department store or fighting for a parking space.  From now until December 25th, your life will be full of holiday duties:  decorating the home, holiday shopping, sending out Christmas cards, going to holiday parties,etc.  But the one thing you must not do is to neglect your duties as a business owner.  I am guilty of it too.  But remember, the holiday season is only about a month long.  Your business is year round.  So, here are some tips to help you manage your time effectively between the holidays and your business.
  1. Make a commitment to wake up earlier in the mornings.  Whether it's a half hour or two, make sure it's enough time to complete your personal projects before you get caught up with the rest of your day. 
  2. Take advantage of shopping online. You'll waste less time at the mall and devote more time to your business.   
  3. Set a time limit or deadline to complete your holiday duties and stick with it.  
Happy Holidays!

Ready,Set,ACTION!

Did you ever want to be in the movies? Who hasn't had a bit of a fantasy to see themselves on the big screen, gorgeous backgrounds, exotic locations, costumes and make-up that make you look like a real live movie star? Yes, fantasies are great.

Reality is more like in the movie Tootsie when they scream "Not too close" for the camera work in shooting Dustin Hoffman as Tootsie. This week I was able to participate in some of the fun of movie making. Hot Flash Havoc, www.hotflashhavoc.com, is the name of the film being made that I am privileged to be a part of. Since it is in documentary style, I am playing myself, a middle age menopausal woman. My naturopathic physician friend Kelly Jennings, www.urbanwellnesspdx.com, is also interviewed and filmed. Kelly treats effectively, and patiently many women with menopause and breast cancer symptoms. She is also young, smart and gorgeous! So my close up is Kelly giving me an acupuncture treatment. Yes indeed, I am the woman in repose with acupuncture needles all over her face, head and neck!

I was also interviewed about my story, the breast cancer/menopause/entrepreneur connection. This film has a fantastic concept; educate and entertain about the condition called Menopause. The movie is still in production and I will blog about it again, and again as the release date comes closer and my close up for stardom nears.

THE WORLD LOOKS BRIGHTER ALREADY

HELLO ALL, I DO APOLOGIZE FOR BEING MISSING IN ACTION BUT I WAS REALLY BUSY, BUT I'M BACK IN FULL FORCE, SO I'VE BEEN MAKING SOME DECISIONS ON MY NEW LIVING QUARTERS, AND I'M INTO SO MANY PROJECTS, BUT MOST OF ALL I WAS PROUD TO BE ABLE TO HAVE VOTED IN THIS PAST ELECTION THAT WAS A MOMENT THAT I WON'T FORGET ANYTIME SOON. IT MADE MY HEART SING TO SEE THE 44TH PRESIDENT BE A AFRICAN-AMERICAN MAN, ANS TO SEE A BLACK FAMILY IN THE WHITE HOUSE, OOH THAT TOUCHED MY HEART. SO I'M FOR CHANGES TO COME SOON, AND I HOPE YOU ARE TOO. BECAUSE THERE WILL BE CHANGE, THERE WILL BE HOPE, THERE WILL BE NEW LIVE, WE CAN DO THIS ! YES WE CAN!!

TAKE CARE LADIES
