Quote of the Issue:

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this:
Decide what you want.

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy New Year! Strange to see the number 2010. So it is that time of year when folks make resolutions such as losing weight, saving money or doing something they have been meaning to do. Yet I have to agree with the Quote of the Issue. Goals or resolutions are a matter of making a decision, a commitment. So rather than looking at your resolutions or goals as a challenge choose instead to make a decision about what you want to achieve in 2010.Then make that decision P.A.R.T. of your every day! What does P.A.R.T. mean? Personal, Attainable, Realistic and of course Timely. When you think of folks that are successful they usually make a decision and commitment and then employ the P.A.R.T theory. So what will you decide to achieve this coming year? Whatever it is decide to commit to it not just part of the way but full out!
Until January 18th, begin making 2010 one memorable successful year!
Karen

From: skryla@comcast.net
Unless you've suffered the heartache personally, it's hard to imagine the array of emotions you experience as you hold a sick puppy in your arms at 3:00 am. There are many sick puppies being sold in Monmouth and Ocean counties from both breeders and puppy stores. Should you or someone you know purchase one of these bundles of love and it turns out to be sick, you need to go to a new website dedicated solely to the reporting of sick puppies in Monmouth and Ocean counties. The website is www.ReportSickPuppies.com

From :davidzimel@extantsmallbusiness.com
Extant Small Business, a technology consulting firm, has donated 10 refurbished personal computers to the Association of Retarded Citizens of Monmouth County for use by their clients. Originally slated for disposal because they were deemed obsolete, these PCs were rescued by Extant for use in a non-business environment. Some of the businesses that donated to this project were The Senior Citizens Activities Network of Monmouth County, Joan of Arc Electrical Contractors of Lincroft , Lone Keep Internet, Inc. of Bradley Beach and Johnny's Garage of Long Branch.
