Greetings everyone!
Well my daffodils are up and the tulips are right behind them. I love the Eastern Red Bud tree. It is in full bloom with beautiful purple flowers. The flowering Quince will bud soon with a dazzling fuchsia color. I am waiting for the peach trees to blossom and the busy bees to pollinate. Isn’t it amazing all the colors that come with Spring!!!
I am busy organizing my garden shed, green house and seeds. Can't wait to get planting. I live in the mountains, so I have to wait a little while to get things into the ground.
April is Stress Awareness Month. What are you doing to reduce the stress in your life? Yoga, a brisk walk, seeing a movie, spending time with your children or taking time out to just relax and do nothing at all. I give you permission to DO NOTHING. It is good for the soul and it does rejuvenate you!
Don’t forget that April 15th is Tax Day. Hopefully all of you have completed your taxes. If you haven’t completed your taxes you need to file for an extension! Make sure you are on top of your taxes for 2009. Have all your tax files organized so tax season is easy next year.
April also has a couple of special weeks we can celebrate and take action. The third week is Organize Your Files Week. Find a system that will work for you. You can file things categorical where you group files all belonging in the same category. Color Coding is another system to track files. My financial files are green, my action files are red and my resource files are yellow. Paper Tiger is another method to file things and it is done numerically and it really works!
The last week in April is Administrative Professionals Week. Don’t forget to do something special for your secretary, administrative assistant or clerical assistants. I could not be with out my virtual assistant. She is fantastic and assists me with getting my newsletter.
Thanks for you comments in past blogs. Well put! Sorry for being late in my blog. March has been a busy month. Everyone is spring cleaning and letting go of stuff. Read "It's All Too Much" by Peter Walsh. It a a great book about living a life with less stuff. I had the opportunity to meet him last year at the NAPO National Conference and he was so nice!!
