What have I been doing?

Wow. It's been over two weeks since my last post. I knew as I got through January it would be harder to find time to keep everyone updated, but I was hoping to at least post weekly.

I did have lunch last week with a CPA friend of mine. He gave me some good advice and input on starting this foundation, and even offered to be a board member. Bless his soul! Unfortunately, I have not had much of a chance since to talk about all my ideas. Mostly because this time of year in my company is VERY busy. So many clients, so many w-2s, and 1099s, and payroll returns...it gets exhausting! But, once we hit February 1 I'll be aiming to get back on track.

I did take the time to file the articles of organization in Colorado for Beleighve Legacy Foundation! Then, I turned around and reserved two web domains: www.beleighve.org and www.beleighveblog.org! Sooner or later, hopefully sooner, I plan to buy a few more to account for individuals potentially misspelling the name, but this is a start! :) I cannot explain how exciting it was to make those purchases.

I am now a few small steps ahead of where I was, and have many more to take. Stay tuned!
