New Day New Year 2026
New day, new year. 2026 is here and most of us start January with resolutions and multiple goals on all the opportunities and possibilities in front of us.

National Good Neighbor Day: The Power of Community
Every September 28th, we celebrate National Good Neighbor Day, a reminder that strong, supportive communities begin with the people closest to us. This holiday was established in America nationally by President Jimmy Carter in 1978. Whether it’s sharing a smile across the fence, lending a helping hand, or simply being present, small acts of kindness among neighbors create ripples that extend far beyond our immediate circle. We have two beautiful apple trees in our backyard and my grand kids and I took some apples over to our neighbors today. They returned the favor with some delicious limes. We are figuring out our “next act of kindness” for today. But what’s…

How confident do you feel today? Probably like most people, you are feeling a little less self confident about at least one thing in your life. That is perfectly normal, especially if our life experiences are taking us a little out of our comfort zone. We need to use the power of imagining and see ourselves achieving our goals.

Managing Your Time Effectively
Managing Your Time Effectively Are you managing your time effectively? As online entrepreneurs we’re bad about falling in the trap of counting every hour at the computer as “work time”. Or we are just as bad with our smart phones and tablets. Let’s be honest! How much of that time is spent browsing through Facebook, checking the latest Reddit posts, getting distracted by emails or going down the rabbit hole of “research”. ChatGPT, which I love, can become a time waster if I don’t stay focused in the moment of what I am researching. Managing your time effectively is critical to getting things done. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t…
