SOLEMN THURSDAY! 😔 It's NATIONAL PEARL HARBOR REMEMBRANCE DAY! Each year in the United States, National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day honors all those who lost their lives when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. More than 3,500 Americans lost their lives or were wounded on that solemn day. #PearlHarborRemembranceDay The day marked a turn in the United States' position regarding involvement in World War II. The Japanese attack damaged several battleships, permanently sinking both the USS Arizona and USS Oklahoma. Still, others capsized, taking crew members with them. One noted ship was the USS Utah. Along with naval vessels, the attack destroyed aircraft, too. As a result, the attack forced the U.S. into a war that had been raging for two years. The day is also sometimes referred to as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day or Pearl Harbor Day.

For many of the crew of the USS Utah, USS Arizona, and USS Oklahoma, Pearl Harbor is their final resting place. The memorials serve as a place of honor to those service members lost during the attack. They also provide a moving reminder of the loss war causes. In commoration of those who lost their lives and their families, please use #PearlHarborRemembranceDay to post on social media.

Our business leader did a new thing!! Congrats on your first book!!
Business Strategist and Consultant connecting with SME business to increase their revenue and achieve long-term profitability.
As a technical writer, I use data and research to validate my information when creating business plans, growth strategies, and price models. When it came to finishing my book, it was hard for me to transition from technical to creative writing because I felt I had to validate my caregiving experience with data and verified sources. I felt my writing wasn't valid enough to complete a memoir. But then God said, "I have given the words to write and the talent to get it done. That's valid enough." So....I published my first book and celebrated it bduring my "Raising Parents" Book Launch party yesterday. Thank you to Minute Man Press Oakville for my table cloth Thank you to Essence Nesbit of Designs by Essence for my beautiful balloons and back drop. Thank you to Kanique Mighty-Nugent for handling check-in. Thanks to Colleen Gagnon-Beal for my makeup. Thank you Chardonnay with Sweet as Southern Tea for my custom cake! Thanks to my family for the support!! #booklaunch #author #booksigning #memoir #ididanewthing

Happy Wednesday!! 😀 It's NATIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS DAY! On April 24th, we get to celebrate National Administrative Professionals Day! This holiday is always celebrated on the Wednesday of the last full week of April. Although it’s not observed as a public holiday this day is still important and there’s so much to celebrate. This holiday even got its own episode on “The Office.” HISTORY OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS DAY: During World War ll there was a shortage of people with the skills of an administrative professional. This was due to the birth-rate decline from the Depression era and booming post-war business. In 1942, the National Secretaries Association was formed to recognize the contributions of administrative personnel to the economy, support their development, and attract workers to the field. During their first year as an association, they created National Administrative Professionals Day. The designated moment of celebration was first dictated by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Charles W. Sawyer, as National Secretaries Week, held from June 1 through June 7. In 1955, Secretaries Week was moved to the last full week of April, with Wednesday marked as Administrative Professionals Day. In 1981, the name was changed to Professional Secretaries Week but, in the year 2000, it became Administrative Professionals Week in order to include the wide range of responsibilities and job titles of administrative staff in the modern economy. WHO QUALIFIES AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT: 👩🦱 Administrative Assistants 👨🦰 Human Resources Administrator 👱♀️ Secretary 🧔 Bill and Account Colletors 👩🦰 Office Manager 👨🦱 Receptionist 👩🦰 Administrative Director 👩🦱 401(k) Administrator There are no doubt other 'titles" that fit into this niche....who ever helps keep everything in your office running smoothly...who ever dispatches or puts out the 'fires' in your office.....Celebrate 🎉them....they deserve it!! #mcmservices #businessstrategy #businesssuccess #measurement #businessplanning #strategy #businesscoaching #smallbusiness #businessgrowth #madisoncalabama #huntsvillealabama

Cue the composting🌱, recycling🥫, repurposing📀, carpooling🚗, thrifting🪑, and metal straws to save the turtles🐢. HISTORY OF WORLD EARTH DAY: The idea for World Earth Day was originally born in 1969, when a US Senator named Gaylord Nelson, witnessed the effects of a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, CA. He called to action all Americans to take a stand for the environment in 1970, and thousands of colleges and universities 🏛across the United States organized protests for a healthy, sustainable Earth🌎, This included air pollution from factories 🏭and freeways, as well as the loss of habitats for animals🦌 and animal extinction🦤 Because of these national rallies, the first WED helped create the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Clean Air🌬Clean Water💧 and Endangered Species🐋🐅🐢🐘+ acts into law. Today, we have similar concerns. It has been reported that coral reefs are dying, we see pictures of animals on land and in the ocean with trash in their bellies or around their body, and corporate factories and large companies around the world 🌍continue to pollute our air and living spaces. Make the time to pick up litter on the sidewalk..prevent it from ending up around the neck of an animal or in the ocean! CELEBRATING WORLD EARTH DAY: 👞 Reduce your carbon footprint. Walk, bike or carpool to work! 👗 Reuse and Recycle your wardrobe! Go thrifting or On-line shopping....it reduces the use of resources by 30%! 🌱 Compost!
