15 MINUTES FOR 15 DAYS
This woman has a great approach to "getting it done"!  She started getting organized by focusing on doing ONE task in one room for 15 minutes each day for 15 days.  One task was simply cleaning off the kitchen table which was stacked and cluttered.  She was so successful with this approach to organizing, she then decided to apply this approach to healthy eating.  To read her short blog, go to  http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3034301

A New Direction in my Life
Want to let you all know that I have accepted a job with Weight Watchers International as Territory Manager for north central Texas --- it's a large territory that runs just south of Fort Worth and Dallas all the way over to the Louisiana border.  As a TM (Territory Manager), I will be responsibile for the territory's P&L and 140 employees.  It's a BIG job, but I am so very excited about this opportunity!  First of all, Weight Watchers is a great company ---- treats its people right and is very successful.  But, most importantly to me, WW provides a wonderful service to people teaching them how to live healthy.  I am so glad I found this perfect job that will allow me to make a real difference in people's lives.
 
For those of you currently in a job search, I just encourage you to think outside the box --- I found and pursued this job --- did not answer an ad or get it through connections.  Also, never give up!  I was very persistent --- even when a series of mishaps caused my paperwork to be lost twice in the system.
 
I start my new position this Monday, 4/5/2010.  For the first couple of weeks, I'll just be getting set up with my office, systems and introductions.  I'll keep you posted.
 
I would like to start using this blog to talk about all things healthy --- mind, body and spirit!  Keep coming back and make your comments!!
