3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Freed from some of the distractions of the Summer, I am free to focus on the three-pronged important things, namely my business, spiritual and domestic lives, with clear plans and intentions for each. Consequently, Monday went fully according to plan - there was no wasted time that I can remember.
Facebook provided some annoyance in that there is a bug on the fan pages, which causes posts to double up, but delete one and both disappear! However now I am aware of this I can work around it. Today, through the wonders of the Digital Revolution, let's see if I can raise my profile just by tapping a few keys on a keyboard.
