Mark Your Calendars - Big Days in November

There are some big days coming up later this month. If you want to show off your time management skills and participate in any of these, you're gonna need some advance notice to get things scheduled, right?

Here ya go:

Thursday, November 17
Great American Smokeout
Whole 'nother blog post on that one, coming Thursday. In the meantime, though, you can get yourself psyched up if you plan to quit.

Sunday, November 20
World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims
Over a million people die every year due to traffic accidents. My father was one of them, when I was a teenager. He was killed on the freeway when a vehicle coming from the opposite direction crossed the median and hit him head-on, despite my dad following all the rules of safety. The mortician did what he could so we could have an open-casket funeral. Sometimes there are unavoidable but tragic accidents, but so many accidents - and so many fatalities - could be prevented. Just takes awareness. For more info, go to http://www.worlddayofremembrance.org/

Saturday, November 26
Small Business Saturday
I LOVE this idea! After the traditional chaos of Black Friday at the big stores, this calls for us to support our local small businesses. If you have a small business and would like to promote it, to pledge to shop small, or to see which small businesses are offering incentives in your area, go to http://smallbusinesssaturday.com/
