Wednesday, January 1-A Brand New Year

Hello Everyone
Here we are in the year 2014.  Time to look at what we can do to better ourselvesNiot just our health, but our wealth. too, This doesn't mean becoming rich over night. Altough it would be nice. Take a look at yourself, your life and ask "How do I spend my time? Are you working to live or just working to buy more stuff?  Stop sweating the small stuff and trying to
keep up with the guy next door. Get out and enjoy your life while you can.You will find yourself becoming richer beyond all you expected. 
Yes, I am retired, but I do more now then I have ever done in my life. 
That includes working three jobs at once while raising my son as a single mother.

Along with running my website, BizEturtle.  I am constantly searching for events, editing, answering and sending e-mails , etc

I am Secretary of NJ Friends of Clearwater and the Membership Director and the Volunteer Coordinator.  I also check the Gmail Voice Account for NJFC. Quite sure those out there who are membership directors knows what this means.

I am on the committee to Save the Thomas Fortune House Project.
I answer all mail coming into the Gmail account, thomasfortunehouse@gmail.com

Each week I send out an update via our
Save T. Thomas Fortune House Project's Rally Page

We hope you will become a Fan Supporter and help us Raise Money to Save T. Thomas Fortune House. Become a Fan Fundraiser to Save T. Thomas Fortune House by personalizing your own fundraising page and sharing your story with your friends.

The T. Thomas Fortune House Committee needs your help. Show your support for preserving the Fortune House with a bright shirt featuring the original rendering of the house by local artist Mike Quon.

I started this blog on Patch on December First. My first month was about taking a look at visiting Monmouth County as being one of our resolutions
or challenges.  I hope to send out a message each day. 

Here are a list of towns I have visited, lived in, or passed through
Manalapan, Marlboro, Freehold, Freehold Twp, Farmingdale, Howell, Brielle, Manasquan, Wall,Sea Girt, Spring Lake Heights, Spring Lake, Lake Como, Belmar, Avon-By-The-Sea, Neptune City,Neptune, Bradley Beach, Asbury Park, Loch Arbour, Interlaken, Allenhurst, Deal, Ocean, Long Branch, West Long BranchMonmouth Beach, Sea Bright, Rumson, Fair Haven, Little Silver,Oceanport, Eatontown, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury Township, Middletown, Red Bank,Tinton Falls, Colts Neck, Highlands, Atlantic Highlands, Keansburg, Union Beach, Keyport, Holmdel, and Hazlet, 
Which means I have not been toAberdeen, Matawan, Allentown, Upper Freehold, Roosevelt, Millstone, or Englishtown.

Maybe I should look into visiting these places before the year is up.
Perhaps revisting some places that I just passed through. Where have you been? Will you be taking the challenge?
