This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 5-4

I'm told that this year May 8 is Akshaya Tritiya, which I first heard translated as the Day of Lasting Achievement. I've also seen it described as the Golden Day of Eternal Success. According to Hindu belief, long-term plans and especially meaningful activities undertaken on this day will be especially fruitful.

What better reason for you to start working on that idea you had kicking around in the back of your mind all this time. Call someone, share your idea, and ask if they can help make it happen.
