We have now entered the holiday “rush” season.  Soon you will rush from here to there for shopping, school programs, church programs and getting together with friends and family.  You’ll experience all the joyful stress of the season.  You won’t have time to focus on your desire to return to work in the coming year.  Right now employers are making plans for hiring in the New Year.  You want to hit the ground running in 2007.  So, before you get caught up in the scurry take some time to get centered for your own good. 

You can find tips to help you evaluate your situation, plan and create balance in your life in a free e-book  Striking A Balance - How Moms Can Make Money At Home And Achieve Balance.   

Another thing to do is start working on that resume.  Update it with any volunteer work you’ve done.  You may have helped your spouse or a friend in their small business.  Show how versatile you are.  Think about updating your skills too if they are rusty.  There are more great tips at www.smart-moms-online.com .

Have a great holiday season.
