HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, 2007 has drawn to a close and I hope it was terrific for you! And even if you had some rough spots along the way, I'm betting there were some bright spots mixed in as well. Life is a balance, after all...

May 2008 hold as much happiness, health, fun, prosperity and blessings than you can stand!


 Radio Show Retirement 

I am very sad to report that I have removed my weekly radio show, Organization Nation from the airwaves (and cyberspace) for the time being. My business travel schedule is very demanding (yay!) and I'm simply out of Atlanta too often to be able to create fresh, quality content for the show each week. I LOVED doing it and I thank you for your support over the past 17 months! Look for Organization Nation to resurface later as either a podcast, or even better, a satellite radio show.

As of this writing, archive shows are still available for free listening or download. Check out past shows online while you can, and thanks again for your enthusiasm and support!
