Most of us tend to get lost in the hustle and bustle of our day-to-day lives throughout the entire year, only pausing to think about taxes when it comes time to file in April. However, by that point, it’s often too late to fully capitalize on the myriad of tax-saving opportunities that are available. Minimizing the tax burden on your hard-earned income should be a consideration that happens year-round, rather than just during tax season. So what proactive steps can you take today to lower your next tax bill? Here are some thoughtful ideas to help get you started on this important journey.

Honoring Breast Cancer Awareness
I'd like to take a moment and write about the battles us women face with Breast Cancer.
I lost a very dear Aunt to this disease many years ago, and I still think of her today. She left an impression on me of what a good woman is. She was strong, elegant, beautiful, and intelligent. During her battle with breast cancer, she still faced the day with her makeup on and a smile on her face.
Let's take a moment to honor those that are lost, those that survived and those that fight each day to survive.
