Real ID Problems

Beginning in 2010, all driver licenses must be matched to identification documents, including passports, Social Security Cards, Birth Certificates, Naturalization papers, etc. This presents a real problem for older drivers and especially married women who did not accurately document their married name.

A client recently appeared at my office with an expired Driver License because the Florida Tag office would not renew her driver license because the name did not match either her Birth Certificate or her Social Security Card. Incidentally, neither of those items had matching names!
Now she is forced to go to court to formally and legally change her name to that which she has used for 51 years since her marriage.

Simple solution if you prepare for the problem; Major Problem if you don't anticipate the solution. Two months ago, she could have changed her name on her driver license to match her Social Security card. Now, since the license is expired, she has to jump through several hoops to get a new license issued, in a name matching her Social Security card.

Happy New Year

Have you misdated anything yet? I have had to change the 0 of 09 to a 10 at least twice a day since the first. Today, I wrote the full 09 twice and had to rewrite the date. Oops. Mistakes happen.





What does your New Year hold? Do you have plans that require extraordinary effort? You should. Challenge yourself this Year!





Remember, I'm Proud of You!





Actually, "I'm Proud of You" is the title of Tim Madigan's book, subtitled, My Friendship with Fred Rogers. You remember Mr. Rogers. He always told his young viewers, "I'm Proud of You!"





Some people thought Mr. Rogers was too simple and did not teach children much. I remember seeing him as a child and learning that heat rises. I can still duplicate the experiment using cold water in an aquarium and hot colored water in a vial placed at the bottom. When the vial is opened the hot colored water rises to the top. Scientist can explain why, but suffice to say the Hot water has more energy.





People, like energy, can rise to the top as well. Let this be a great year by challenging yourself to Rise to the Top.
