A class I was supposed to teach was postponed about 1.5 hours before it was supposed to start! Now that I have an extra 4 hours I am working on my social media updates (hence this blog post :)); and am going to a networking event hosted by the Marion and Cedar Rapids chambers. The social media and networking will help grow my own business. It is a gift of time that I was not expecting!
What would you do if you had 4 hours gifted to you?
Next time though - I may just go get a pedicure :)

Hot!
It's super hot days like today that I am so thankful I can work inside! And I'm happy that my husband has an air-conditioned office too. It's plenty warm out there and people need to take extra precautions with themselves and their pets.
Please, please, please do not leave any living thing in the vehicle! 99.9% chance when you come back, it will not be living! Make sure to drink plenty of water and have lots of fresh water available for you animals too.
Our dog, Hildie, and our cat, Luna are hanging out in the air-conditioned house today, and I'm going from one air-conditioned place to another :)
Have a safe hot weather season!

Time Flies!
Wow - I can't believe it's July 14 already! I'm 44 days late on starting my Christmas shopping (yes, really!) I do have ideas though :)
Just yesterday it was January 1 and I had a ton of plans for this year...and it seems that hardly any of them have been accomplished :(
A busy schedule would be to blame for a lot of people, however I have found that the more I have to accomplish, the more I get done. I think that comes from being in the publishing business for 10 years and having weekly/monthly/quarterly/annual deadlines - sometimes all at the same time!
I currently have 3 income producing activities that I am doing (2 are small businesses and 1 is as a part-time employee). Starting tomorrow I'm adding a 4th, commission-based income producing activity - which will actually dovetail nicely with one of the small businesses. And I'm thinking of adding a 5th...more about that later!
One question that seems to motivate me is "If not now, when?"
