S hare the L ove T his M onth 4 Ways to Support Your Loved Ones This Valent ine’s Day
Every Valentine’s Day, people want to find the best ways to show their partner or even a close friend how much they care. It is easy to get sucked into thinking you have to give them the most expensive or elaborate present you can find, but sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are the simplest. Here are four easy ways to show your loved ones how much you care this February. A TEXT A DAY Knowing someone has your back throughout the year, no matter how difficult things can get, is a great source of support and love. In addition to the usual communication you share with your loved one, add in a supportive text each day, whether it’s simply letting them know you’re thinking of them or wishing them luck on a presentation or interview. The best part about these texts is that they can be sent year-round. A MORNING MESSAGE BOARD Whiteboards are fun to draw on and make great calendars, but they can also be used to share heartfelt messages with your roommates or spouse. Writing positive messages like, “I hope you have a wonderful day!” or “You matter!” can make all the difference. Waking up to a loving note from someone they care about could mean the world to them and shift their entire mood for the day. A DAILY JOURNAL ENTRY February and March are usually when New Year’s resolutions begin to falter. To encourage yourself and your loved one, consider starting a daily journal. Leave a journal where you both have access to it and write positive messages inside for the
other person. This acknowledgment of hard work is exactly what you both need to continue pursuing your goals this year.
RANDOM GIFTS You don’t have to wait for a birthday, Christmas, or Valentine’s Day to give your loved one a gift. Buying small gifts lets your friend or spouse know you’ve been thinking about them. Whether it’s a treat they enjoy, a book, or even a small gift card, these thoughtful gestures are sure to make them smile.
M eet K aren M oreland Accounts Receivable Special ist and Accountant
Every team member at The Manely Firm, P.C. has a hand in the success we create for our clients. From the time a client first calls our office through the conclusion of their case, The Manely Firm team is there to guide them with strategic excellence, empathy, and experience. Karen Moreland is a shining example of this and her contributions to the overall success of our firm are key to the positive experience we provide to each client.
Karen’s passion has always been about helping people. Before she found accounting, her career focus was in nursing. Karen became a certified nursing assistant and worked in that field for a couple of years before she moved into the accounting world. At first, she trained in accounts payable where she learned how to keep track of a company’s expenses. However, she soon realized that working as an accounts receivable clerk was far better for her because she was able to work with people far more often. Nearly three years ago, Karen accepted a position here at The Manely Firm, P.C. At first, it was a challenge for her to acclimate to our line of work. Though she had worked in law firms previously, family law is a demanding law field. “It’s definitely not something that is made for everyone because seeing families and individuals go through some of the hardest times in their lives is challenging.” Karen adds, “It’s hard not to build a rapport with our clients. Family is important, especially now.” Though difficulties still come her way, Karen enjoys her work and working with our clients. “It’s been a challenge,” she says thinking back over the years. “Some days aren’t enjoyable but many others are. Working with our clients to find a solution is definitely the best part of what I do. Having the chance to talk with our clients and help them decipher a bill or set up a payment plan for them when they’re a little strapped for cash is great. I really enjoy being able to help them in that way.” At home, Karen likes to relax by getting into the kitchen and practicing her favorite pastime: baking. She loves baking cupcakes and cakes for her family and special events, though she especially enjoys making Key lime cake.
