March
The third month of the year and depending where you live in the country it is either snowy or rainy. In the South it is usually damp and rainy and just sort of drab. Where I was raised it is usually snowy and cold. There is St. Patrick's Day and this year at the end of the month was Easter. Other religious days were Palm Sunday and Good Friday. It also had the clock change of Daylight Savings Time.

February
Oh, the month of February. What to say about it. It is the shortest month of just 28 days unless you go every four years when it is 29 days thanks to leap year. There are holidays like Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day. Two days one for love and one for good luck in maybe finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

January
January has come and gone, but this idea for a series just came to me the other day. January the first month of a new year according to the Gregorian calendar that we follow. Happy New Year! This is the month that we all try to do better in all the different aspects of our lives from our health both physical and emotional. We also try to better in our professions and just trying to be better people.

Saturdays
We all made it it is Saturday. This is the sixth day of the week and the real start to the weekend for me. This is the day when most people go to ball games of some sort during whatever season it may be. Spring is usually baseball, Summer could be just about anything, Fall is of course football and winter could be hockey.

Jennifer's Awakening: A Journey from Death's Embrace
What happens when someone dies? Do they know that they are dead? Fortunately, here is a true story of a middle-aged woman who died and stirred from her slumber after two days. Jennifer, a mother of six children was living happily in a neighbourhood. Jennifer was blessed with a joyous family, their bond woven tightly with love and laughter. Their home was geographically situated where they could easily access the river and market. Jennifer had a husband who was a fisherman and could always come home with enough meals to feed his family. They were by then one of the greatest families in the village due to their unity and self-independence. As time went by, Jennifer started to become sick. Despite her efforts to carry out household and gardening tasks, the relentless progression of the disease gradually sapped her strength day by day.

Renewal For Field Leaders
Brett A. Blake has written a business book entitled ' Renewal For Field Leaders'. This is an academic book for businesspeople who lead employees and independent contractors in how to keep their businesses solvent over years. It covers topics dealing with direct selling of various products and ideas from the Business Lifecycle Stages from Launch through Decline or Renewal to the CHISEL plan for renewal (Cash, Hope, Innovation, Simplification, Expansion, Leadership). He states in a way there is an AIM in cash management. He also mentions the H.O.P.E. formula for business. Another facet he mentions one must use experimentation along with human-to-human experience to improve your business or do something else. One last idea he share is the 'Three C's of Simplification' that are 'Calendar, Cadence, and Communication which is also the most important aspect of any and all business enterprises. The layout of this academic book is shown in large type for easy reading that would make an great supplemental read for many economics courses or any business management courses.

Wednesday
Wednesday is what people like to call 'Hump Day'. It is the middle of the week and now it seems that everyone is looking for to Friday and the weekend. One must try and enjoy all the days of the week not just the weekends. There is joy to be found in all the days of the week. You just have to try harder on some days.

Tuesday
So, the second day of the work week also known as 'Taco Tuesday' which for some reason to me is now quite an overused expression in society in general. Tuesday is just a day that some are still getting over Monday. It is a day that seems to require a little more attitude to organize whatever people are planning.
