She defines it as saying “No” to any invitations, added responsibilities or any other request for time and attention – to instead focus on getting our own sh*t done and spending more time with our immediate families (including canine and other animals). <a href="http://deanlofton.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/happy-november/" class="excerpt-more-link">[&#8230;]</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=deanlofton.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4422359&amp;post=982&amp;subd=deanlofton&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
