In the interest of not spreading my lovely illness to you all, I will refrain from attending this month and instead stay home and drink lots of immuni-tea. Have a great time. See you all soon!

I hope I am not too late! I have not read the book, but am very interested in this topic and look forward to meeting everyone.

I love the idea of consciously using the voice. Such a little thing but I bet it reduces misunderstandings and creates a little ease in ones life. Thanks for a nice article.

It would be a hoot to have everyone at the house taking notes and I think we would ALL learn something, myself included!

The recycle bin is just next to where I open the mail. I stand, open, discard anything extraneous (do I really need the envelope the piece came in?) and take the rest to my office.

Nothing goes into my office unless it pertains to business. If a piece is lucky enough to make it to my office then I immediately do something with it, pay the bill, file the paper, shelve the book, read the magazine (ripping out anything I find important that will help me in the future and recycle the rest as soon as I am done), make the call, etc, etc.

This is my business, I keep it lively so I can be a participant and not an observer!

This is not as hard as it seems, it just takes a little practice. Come over any time and see!
