What’s this, you might ask? Read more about it from Leif Hansen at Spark NW. Then consider turning off your computer and other digital devices and do something fun for a change.

Happy Birthday to Me: How to take a whole day off

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - Recently, I happened on an article on Martha Stewart’s site about what kinds of things to do every day that make life easier.
