HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

February holds one of the most fun holidays of the year because on the 14th you get to tell all your loved ones how much you love them, and they just have to sit and take it!

I know you might tell them all year long like I do, but some of you probably don't feel comfortable doing that, so Valentines Day gives you permission to be as sappy as you want.

And for you single folks, don't think you're off the hook. Get a group of your single friends together and go out for a lovely dinner to celebrate how much you all love each other!



 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!
