Happy Memorial Day - and Victoria Day, to my Canadian readers.

I must confess, I’m not an Excel user. Whenever Charlotte sends me a spread sheet, I cringe. But recently, (while planning my first catering job, to be exact), I discovered that a spread sheet was the way to go. So I’ve started to learn how to use one - only baby steps, but at least I’m not cringing any more. And frankly, it’s made part of my life easier.

So what new knowledge or skill would make some part of your life easier? Maybe it’s learning all the functions of your cell phone or PDA. Maybe it’s a new computer program or how to use your food processor. The time and energy you invest in learning that skill will save you time and energy for the rest of your life.

P.S. Did you know there are search engines that donate money to charity with every search you perform? And it costs you nothing. They get revenue from the ads on their sites and donate anywhere from 50% to all of the money they make to charity.
