        this month’s word, so you can impress

        Three-Minute Meditation 
      
      
        One extremely refreshing getaway is 
      
      
        meditation – and best of all, you don't 
      
      
        have to pack for it.  Research from the 
      
      
        University of California, Davis, 
      
      
        suggests that regular mindfulness 
      
      
        meditation may slow the rate of cellular 
      
      
        aging – potentially giving you more 
      
      
        precious time than you ever dreamed of. 
      
      
        
      
      
        Here’s how to mediate in 3-minutes: 
      
      
        1.
      
      
         Find
      
      
         a peaceful place where you 
      
      
        won’t be interrupted. 
      
      
        2.
      
      
         Gently rest
      
      
         your palm over your 
      
      
        heart. Concentrate on a person, place, 
      
      
        song, or memory you cherish. The idea 
      
      
        is to feel love and to concentrate it as 
      
      
        energy in your mid-chest. 
      
      
        3.
      
      
         Visualize
      
      
         any thoughts as clouds 
      
      
        drifting in the sky. Let them float by and 
      
      
        out of your awareness. 
      
      
        4.
      
      
         Observe
      
      
         the sensations in your heart 
      
      
        area: heat, coolness, bliss, compassion, 
      
      
        release of pressure, vibration. Over time 
      
      
        and with practice, you’ll feel the 
      
      
        positive energy in your chest that will 
      
      
        flow into your body.

        3 Email Tips To Get More Done  
      
      
        
      
      
         These email tips will get more people to respond to your emails and help 
      
      
        you get work done faster: 
      
      
        
      
      
        1.
      
      
        
      
      
        State the content and purpose in the subject line.
      
      
          This gives the 
      
      
        recipient a chance to sort and prioritize their email.  Be specific and if you 
      
      
        need a response quickly, add “Action Required” or “Response  Needed” 
      
      
        to the subject line. 
      
      
        
      
      
        2.
      
      
        
      
      
        Know when to use CC and BCC.
      
      
          Use CC to copy people who are 
      
      
        directly involved.  This keeps them involved in the email conversation.  
      
      
        Use BCC when you want to notify someone that an email was sent but 
      
      
        you don’t want the main recipient to see who you are notifying. 
      
      
        
      
      
        3.
      
      
        
      
      
        Use “Forward” effectively
      
      
        .  When someone responds and you want to 
      
      
        notify another person, simply Forward the email with a message that says, 
      
      
        “FYI.”  If someone has not responded to your email after several days or 
      
      
        weeks, go to your Sent Messages and Forward them your email but 
      
      
        change the subject line to say, “FWD: Did you get this?” 
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        Do You Have A Gas Leak? 
      
      
        
      
      
        Use these senses to recognize a gas leak: 
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        SMELLING – If your house smells like rotten eggs, you may be in 
      
      
        serious trouble.   Natural gas suppliers add the scent to the gas as a 
      
      
        warning that harmful vapors are leaking into the air.   
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        HEARING – a leak may make a hissing sound or a loud roar. 
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        SEEING – a leak may cause dust or debris to fly, create bubbling 
      
      
        movement in water, or cause discoloration in green vegetation.     
      
      
        
      
      
        Here’s how to respond to this deadly danger:   
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        Get everyone out of the house, move a safe distance away, call 911 
      
      
        and your local gas company for help.   
      
      
        
      
      
        To prevent electric sparks that could ignite an explosion, follow these tips: 
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        Don’t turn on or off electrical switches. 
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        Don’t start your car in the garage or use garage door openers.  
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        Don’t strike a match.
