Tax season can be unpleasant for many taxpayers, especially if you owe money to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or a state revenue department. The one thing you can do is, be proactive and prepared and engage a tax resolution specialist to help guide you. If you owe back taxes to the IRS, read every word in this article carefully because what you do next can impact your financial stability and peace of mind.

March 22 is officially International Goof Off Day. Who better to show one how to "Goof Off" than Walt Disney's silly character Goofy? It is a day to relax, enjoy and goof off.  Do something fun and leave the work until tomorrow-or at least take some time off.  Everybody needs and deserves to take a fun break from time to time. Experiment with acting out on any goofy idea that pops into your head. Spend the day at a nearby theme park such as Gilroy Gardens, Great America or Disneyland. Make a video of of people goofing off as a good example to others. Or just  spend the day in pajamas goofing off or doing nothing.Strictly speaking, goofing off is the avoidance of work. So whatever you do on National Goof Off Day, try not to look like you are working. Monica (Moeller) Dufour of Davidson, ... 03/21/2023

I'm at a conference (Secret Knock 2023) in Little Italy in San Diego.  Any suggestions on a good place to eat lunch and or dinner.    03/20/2023

In March of 2012 I posted the following:Do you often wonder what the customer you have spent the day with thinks of you? Do you wonder what the customer sitting across from you at lunch, at your expense is really thinking about their house hunting experience? Welcome to the world of sales!People do not think, they stereotype. They do not conclude, they categorize. They do not calculate, they assume. How do people stereotype you? The first obstacle that you must overcome is not the competition, it's the stereotype outsider's have of you. Is there still merit to it? I believe so! Do you assume and stereotype ? Do you think people stereotype you? Is the stereotype they decide upon really you or do you have work to do?Enjoy your day! 03/21/2023

 Tuesdays Treasures…Sportsmanship My oldest great-nephew had a major Taekwondo tournament this past weekend that included participants from all over. It lasted all day, with different levels and age groups. Luke helped with some of the judgings and competed as well.   We are so proud of his efforts! Luke took the Silver medal!   At the end of the day, they all showed their respect by shaking hands, hugging, and congratulating each other.  Team activities are so important in helping our young people learn about competition, winning, and more importantly, sportsmanship.  When you go out onto that field it's going to be war. Sportsmanship is playing to the best of your abilities and then, afterwards, shaking your opponent's hand. Bruce Grobbelaar Victory is in the quality of competition an... 03/21/2023
