✈️ Today is National Plan a Vacation Day! Tell us somewhere you have always wanted to go, then get to planning and manifesting how to make it happen! 🧳

We recommend looking at the calendar early each year, now, if you haven’t already, to see where the major holidays fall for that year and then plan accordingly and ahead of time to take additional days off.

We just talked about business travel etiquette, those tips certainly apply for leisure travel as well! In addition, consider the ages of those you will be traveling with and consider any limitations they may have if you are exploring with younger or elderly family members. Researching ahead of time can save you a lot of headache and valuable time, as you will know when places open and close, how much tickets cost, if they require advance purchase etc…

Taking time away is incredibly important for your health and lowers your stress, reduces risk of heart disease, clears your mind, and improves your overall outlook on life!

Today the world remembers the six million Jews who lost their lives during the Holocaust.

“The whole world on this day mourns our losses and tells stories of our survivors and feels compassion for our tragedy and the whole world pledges never to forget.”

January 27th, the anniversary of the liberation of the Aushewitz-Birkenau concentration camp, has been designated by the UN as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Today marks 78 years since the liberation.

There has been a recent rise in antisemitism and hate crimes against Jewish communities across the country. Let us all make sure we do not remain silent when faced with injustice and we stand up against these bad actors.

Now that we are about a month out from the busy ho

Now that we are about a month out from the busy holiday season we’ve been thinking about upcoming travel, both leisure and business. For now, let’s talk about business travel etiquette and safety!

Whenever you have an upcoming business trip do you spend time researching your destination? We recommend spending some time on several aspects of your upcoming travels.

Familiarize yourself with the area you will be staying in, this includes major sites, transportation options, the distance from your hotel to your main point of business, and be aware of any safety issues you might encounter along the way, such as leaving after dark and taking a taxi or Uber if your walk is lengthy, dimly lit etc...

Some etiquette for your business travel should include being conscientious of those you encounter during your travels such as gate agents, flight attendants, hotel staff and fellow travelers.

Do you feel like clearing out your email inbox(s)

Do you feel like clearing out your email inbox(s) is such an insurmountable task that you’ve just written it off entirely? 💻

Do you have tons of erroneous emails because of all the things you’ve signed up for over the years so you could create a required account for something, get a discount code sent for a purchase, or sign up for a newsletter, and now you get emails from all of these businesses nearly daily?

Today we challenge you to spend a short time this weekend eliminating some of this virtual clutter from your life!

There are several easy steps you can take to begin to de-clutter your inbox:
-Go into legitimate emails and scroll down to the very bottom and click their “unsubscribe” button.
-Mark any that do not have that option as Spam so they start going directly to that folder.
-Use the “Search” feature to pull up all of one company’s emails and do a mass-deletion
-Create Rules to automate moving incoming emails into specific folders.

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day we wanted to share a couple of pieces of information you might not know about this historical figure.

- Martin Luther King attended college at the young age of 15 after skipping the ninth and twelfth grades.
- He went to Morehouse College and got his Ph.D.in Systematic Theology from Boston University.
- He was jailed 29 times for civil disobedience and other arrests targeting him.
- He was almost assassinated in 1958 by Izola Curry, who stabbed him with a letter opener, almost cutting his aorta.
- Dr. King was assassinated ten years after this incident, by James Earl Ray, there is widespread belief that he did not act alone.

Dr. King’s legacy, promoting nonviolent resistance to achieve equality, continues today.
