Organizing Holiday Cards, Part 1

First, cut down on the number of people you send cards to! Send to family/friends/colleagues who love getting cards as well as people you exchange updates with annually.

During the weeks before Thanksgiving, strive to get 2-4 of these tasks done: * Update your address book, mailing label lists and print labels. * Print out/gather return… Continue

Guys and Girls, Men and Women, and Everyone on the Cusp

The statement, "men are from Mars, women are from Venus" seems like both and understatement and a mistake. I feel very much like Venus, yet I have many very masculine qualities within my core values. Mars may be equated as the Roman/Greek god of war Mars/Aries. Astrologically it is the entity that motivates action and facial thought within the psychological habits of humans or any other sentient life from a location on earth. In the past, as the Roman culture was so often within war in the domin… Continue
