Recently she was interviewed by Chicke Fitzgerald.    Listen to the interview here: My Decade with Diana

Not necessarily a New Year’s Resolution but a New Year’s Re-Organization.

Having recently helped my sister and her husband pack up thirty years of “stuff” to move from Wisconsin to South Dakota, and now facing the task of packing up seventy+ years of mom’s “stuff”. I feel an increased need to take a look at my own “stuff” and get it organized now.

The same is true for office space. Is your work space efficient the way it is currently organized? Is there “a place for everything and everything in it’s place”?

Whether you feel the need to organize or not, cleaning out the clutter and changing things up in the office can give you a fresh look and attitude towards your work day. Often times patients will even notice the change and enjoy the fresh “makeover”.

Here are some tips to help you get started today: Link

This falls somewhere between late January and early February. The cycle of twelve animal signs originates from Chinese tradition as a way of naming the years. The animals follow one another in an established order and are replicated every twelve years. The rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig are the twelve animal signs. Every animal has particular characteristics and people born in a specific year are believed to take on these characteristics. According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2010 is the Year of the Tiger, which commences on February 14, 2010 and ends on February 2, 2011.
