Spring has arrived early to the Southeast. Can you believe it is already March? I feel like I just celebrated New Year’s with my family. It is this sense of fleetingness that makes me appreciate the moments that I have. More importantly I think of all the things on my to-do list, that haven’t gotten the attention they deserve.  You often hear the saying, “Don’t leave for tomorrow what you can do today”.

So let’s get to it. This month’s issue includes two great cover stories to get you in the mood for some spring cleaning. Women… you don’t need to wait for your boyfriend or husband to help you spruce up your house. Pick up that hammer and get to making your home the place you want it to be. If you prefer to take in the rays, grab a shovel and go outside. We have great tips for improving your garden during spring. Keep in mind the Four R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rebuy. There is nothing better than creating a livable outdoor space, while improving the environment at the same time.

If cleaning isn’t your thing, don’t forget today is a good a time as ever to organize your finances. MoneyLink is a great resource for financial planning. This month we have five great tips for improving your financial health. Like Suze Orman says,

“A big part of financial freedom is having your heart and mind free from worry about the what-ifs of life.”

Happy Spring!
