Goodbye January. Hello February.
I have lots planned for this month. The idea this month is to work on relationships. More details to come
Well, I started of this month with an idea. It was a plan for the month and the year ahead. Not really a resolution but a life change. January was all about getting organized, de-cluttering, becoming more efficient on my road to Working Smarter, Not Harder.

So I have spent much of this month trying to get organized. It was the theme of this month all in an effort to Work Smarter, Not Harder. Getting organized has been a real challenge. I am not the most organized at the best of times but I have been trying to stay really focused with this challenge.
I feel like we are over run by our stuff, that our stuff is starting to control our lives.
Have you ever thought about all those pennies in your change purse? How much are they really worth?
I have come across people who throw away those pennies. They consider them a nuisance but there is something to be said for that old saying…. “count your pennies!”
My kids love to count change and drop it into their piggy banks. They each have several piggy banks around the house.
So I just wanted to mention someone who is very positive and is a sounding board for me. Laurel A. Crossley-Byers, known as @optimom on twitter. We actually met on twitter. After talking on twitter we realized that we were practically neighbours and now we are great friends in real life – as they say.
Laurel is a great motivator. She has a great focus on mind, body,
