I’ve been sitting here all day thinking about “What should I post at the One Hour Bookkeeper Blog?” and unfortunately, I’ve been coming up blank.  It’s not writer’s block, exactly…it’s more “Upcoming Project Excitement.”  There are a lot of other things I’m working on right now – things that I just realized you all might be interested in.  So, here’s what’s going on in my life: Right now, my husband and I are packing up our house and our luggage and getting ready for a trip around the world.  We are literally taking the next year of our lives and … Continue reading →
