NOTE FROM JUDY

1. It's been a busy month, and I've been battling a powerful case of the flu. I'm at the tag end, and glad to be there. Having any kind of a medical problem makes one grateful for good health!

2. Enjoy your anticipation of the upcoming holidays. Take time to cherish your family (including pets) and friends.

WINDOWS KEYSTROKES AND TIPS

CTRL+Z

Perhaps I've used this before, but it is one of my all-time favorites: CTRL+Z - use it when you've just changed or deleted something and realize you want it restored.

-- COMPLIMENTARY ENDORSEMENT --

IVAA

International Virtual Assistants Association (IVAA), a nonprofit organization based in the U.S., offers independent contractors the opportunity to be part of an excellent network of professionals. Education and development play a key role. IVAA is comprised of professionals assisting other professionals--virtually. I am a member, and just returned from the first annual summit. I picked up ideas that will help my business immensely. And the email list constantly shows the caliber of members willing to share expertise. We have coaches, consultants, web developers, organizers, writers, editors, journalists, transcriptionists, office support, bookkeepers, graphic designers, and much more. I'm pleased to endorse IVAA.
