Birthday Alarm

We've all, at some point in time, missed a friend's birthday. And if you're like me, you feel awful about it, especially if it was someone like your mother-in-law or girlfriend.

Several years ago I started using Birthday Alarm, a free online service that reminds me of those special dates. It popped up again just this morning, gently reminding me of my friend Pat's birthday!

If you'd like to get a timely email reminding you of someone's special date, then look into using this nifty tool. It's easy to navigate, doesn't take long to enter the necessary information, and you'll wonder how you ever got along without it!

Enjoy your fall!

Meeting Planner Tool

I recently returned from a retreat with 8 other women entrepreneurs. It was 2 1/2 days of brainstorming around our businesses with a little fun thrown in. As one of the "organizers" of this event, you can probably imagine how challenging it was to coordinate the calendars of nine busy women. Any time you're dealing with more than two parties, whether it's dinner with friends, a business meeting or a planning retreat, consider using Meeting Wizard to coordinate the date and time. It's free and very easy to use. What I like best is that it collects the results, allowing you to see the date that works best for everyone in your group. You can also have it send a reminder to everyone prior to the event.

Since our group was made of all women, we of course had to spend a little time at the spa. The folks at Tall Grass Spa spoiled us for nearly three hours. They are located an hour from Denver, nestled in a beautiful valley beneath Mt. Evans. The views were breathtaking.

Rejuvenating in such beauty was a wonderful thing. Ahhh....
