This morning I tidied up my counters, made my bed, straightened up a bit and within 15 minutes I was set for a successful and productive day. But there used to be a time I’d barely make a dent in 15 minutes. Because I had so much stuff and so little ability to make decisions….
How did I get so lucky? Working with amazing women all the time, helping them to eliminate items that aren’t serving their goals, life or happiness – I witness the powerful effects of “letting go” on a daily basis. Their ability to find a receipt or a bill on demand. The look of relief and joy…
I could tell you it’s my perfect systems. I could tell you it’s my organized family. I could tell you it’s my awesome built-ins. But why would I lie to you?! 😉 The truth is, I don’t have any of those things, yet there are so many aspects that make up a mostly organized home….
Socks, phone chargers, binder clips, hairbrushes, water bottles, highlighters, remotes, magazines, soccer balls, receipts, earrings…are just some of the bajillions of things I have in my hands as I make my way around the house. Yup, I’m like Bounty: the quicker picker upper. 😉 As I float from the kitchen to bathroom to bedroom to…
So I did the thing I’m always telling my clients (not to mention my friends and my kids) not to do. And then… I did it again. So now, it’s time to come clean. It finally got cold here in NashVegas, so I pulled out a sweater on Saturday morning. One of my favorites in…
You’ll have to fight it this week. You’ll have to fight it next week. You’ll probably have to fight through the end of the year. You’ll be shopping for decorations, centerpieces, gifts, cards, flowers, sweaters, shawls, shoes, gloves, linens, towels, appetizers, serving dishes, and so much more before the year is up. And you’ll be…
You know what makes people happy everyday? Perfect shoes? Bargains? Chocolate covered anything? Wine…any wine? 😉 Ok, I’m totally digressing over here. It’s actually something much simpler (and inexpensive) than that. It’s setting goals and reaching them. Think about it. If you make a goal to exercise but don’t get your walk or gym class in, you feel…
You’re finally ready to go at it. That closet or pantry or garage that you’ve been putting off for months. You recognize the need to make more room and alleviate pain in this stress zone. You’ve set aside the day and you’re confident you’ll be a decluttering rockstar. Until this… You find your baby’s trunk full of…
I just got back from gorgeous Hawaii with my family (I know, totally pinching myself!) And in addition to exploring and admiring this tropical paradise, we met some amazing people along the way. While I was chatting with one lovely woman we got to talking about our careers and when I told her what she…
Can you relate? You have a million things to get done. Everyone’s counting on you for their next meal, clean clothes, and of course, to find what they’re looking for in the house (even though they’re the ones who left it there!) The weekend comes around and instead of being able to put your feet…
