HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, March 9, 2023. Reciprocity, fairness and balance are what we should be aiming for if we want the day to go smoothly. Managing our relationships – both in business and in our personal lives — will be easiest if we take a win-win approach. We should be careful not to overcommit ourselves or take on more than our fair share. However, this is an ideal time to give to people in need or to support a humanitarian cause.
