I've landed successfully in California, and my office is somewhat together. I'm not together enough to show you photos yet...I know I promised them in last issue. When I unpack the digital camera, I will upload some shots to my blog. In the meantime, here's a photo of the empty shell.

As easy as it might have been to devote this issue to keeping your tiara on straight while moving 3,000 miles, getting reacquainted with your husband, and getting your 14-year-old settled in a new high school, I'm not going to do it. Instead, let's focus on you. Yes, you. When was the last time you had an item on your to-do-list that was just about you? Read on for some suggestions.

There are several new teleclasses scheduled for later this month, I hope to "see" you at one of them. Finally, I've got a great offer for women's organizations who want their next meeting to be extra special.

P.S. During my move, I was apparently fraught with questions. These are just a few I dealt with over at my blog:  Why Can't We Be Without Stuff?, American Idol? Not Today, and What!??!? You Mean I Can't Control Everything?

How About a To-Do for You?

Why do we consistently put ourselves last? Why is it so hard to get at least one item on my to-do list about me, and only me?

A while back, I wrote about removing one item from your to-do list to simplify your life. If you took that advice, what would be the item that comes off? My guess is that it would be the one that didn’t apply to someone else in your life. So today I’m amending my advice from that article:

Add one item to your to-do list that is all about you.

Need some ideas? How about these “To-Do’s For You”?

1. Get a “do not disturb” sign for your bedroom or bathroom door.
2. Take yourself out for lunch—eat at a new place, get yourself a picnic, or go for a 20-minute walk.
3. Read the first chapter of that book you’ve been dying to get to.

And to make sure you don’t cross it off almost as soon as you write it down, head on over to my blog or to the QueenPower.com forum and post your commitment. Go on, mine’s already up there, so you won’t be the first.

Thinking there’s no way you can do this? Read on for some really easy ways to put yourself first.
