Bookkeeping is done for 2008! Getting off catalog lists

Wednesday New Year’s Eve December 31, 2008 5:00pm
Today was spent catching up all my bookkeeping and clearing my desk.  At the bottom of the stack of work to be done was the back cover of all the catalogs I’ve been getting lately.  I pull the back cover off as I throw the catalog into the [...]

Winter? Kinda… I get to experience New Year’s Eve fireworks with the Pitney Bowes service tech in the Philippines

Wednesday December 31, 2008 New Year’s Eve 11:30 am
Nice and chilly this morning!  I’d gone to sleep not knowing the temp would drop overnight and awoke about 5am with windows open and feeling kinda freezie.  I’d fallen asleep as usual proofreading on the couch, wearing sweats, sheepskin booties and my ridiculously gigantic but warm and fuzzy robe.  [...]

Synchronicity gets the bills paid on time

Tuesday December 30, 2008
Today began very early. After my morning yoga and meditation, it quickly became very hectic.  I keep one of those daily flip calendars on my desk, you know the kind: about 7″ x 7″.  I put my bill payment coupons in the calendar on the day I need to order payment, then each [...]

Sorting email addresses, friends and advertisers overlap, not a fan of the hard sell

Saturday December 27, 2008
Another beautiful, glorious day in subtropical central Florida.  Temperatures low in the 60’s last night and high today should be near 80.  It dawned clear and sunny, typical Florida day - 320 days of the year anyway.  I spent the morning sorting out my AOL address book and creating in it a new [...]

How to stay functional as you sit out the bleak and depressing times

I did two readings this morning, both with high-powered, ambitious and independent women who are going through a melancholy cycle as the holidays approach. That is true for many of us, and when it’s in the air like this, it can be easy to pick up emotions from other people if you don’t have a [...]

First Horizons Newsletter gets emailed out; Kudos to brother Jerry

Friday, December 26, 2008  9am
Well,  I got the first Horizons newsletter emailed out and afterward discovered to my horror that in the “From” line was the nickname of a favorite kitty I had when I was a kid.  My brother is always embedding secret messages in our work, text that no one else gets to [...]

End of year, end of life as we know it - reported by those who made the transition.

Thursday December 25, 2008 7:00am
During the week between Christmas and New Year’s is when the air is most emotionally charged for people.  It’s a time of new beginnings and a time to reflect on those we have lost during the year; those who will no longer be sharing the earth experience with us in their [...]

Christmas Day kayaking; listening to Fred Migliore; new newsletter

11:00pm Christmas Night, December 25, 2008
I had a really good Christmas Day.  I don’t do anything commercial for the holidays, so I escape the flurry of decorating, gift shopping, and card sending and it all stays pretty peaceful.  I did a dawn patrol surf check at the boardwalk in Indialantic this morning, then came back [...]
