Simplify 101 • one person will receive a spot in the online workshop Organize Your Paper Clutter with Aby Garvey
Paper, paper everywhere! That paper mountain growing on your countertop
represents a loss of freedom, a loss of control, and a nagging feeling
in your gut that something important isn’t getting attended to. Your
paper, and the feelings it creates, makes it hard to relax, focus or
even have fun.
Here’s
the good news: there is a better way! With the right paper organizing
systems in place—those created with you, your paper, and your home in
mind—you can free yourself from paper clutter and the stress that comes
along with it. In Organize Your Paper Clutter, you’ll learn a
step-by-step process on how to decide if you need a piece of paper (and
for how long!) and how to organize it so you’ll find it again right
when you need it! Your piles (and your stress!) will be replaced by
organizing systems you love, and feelings of confidence, relief and
peace of mind!
Start date: Tuesday, April 21, 2009
End date: Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Registration status: open!

Well, other than all your books, I would recommend as a scrapbooking read Stacy Jullian's Photo Freedom, it really helped me let go of a few things, and organize more than just my pictures.
I like to read everything by Jodi Picoult, I find that at the beginning of her book, I'm thinking one thing but by the end she's opened up a different train of thought.

"The Secret Life of Bees" Sue Monk Kidd, I was given this book about 4 or so years ago, I instantly fell in love and read it in two days. Recently before the movie was coming out on DVD I read it again, then watched the movie. Suprisingly I liked the movie too, I am a Dakota Fanning fan and Queen Latifa was amazing, cryed my way through a good portion of the last hour.

My favorite book right now is a book that I picked up for my husband called Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters by Meg Meeker, MD. Its SUCH an eye opening book about how important it is for a father to have a role in his daughters life. Its really changed my husbands view on the kind of father he wants and needs to be. Highly recommend it!!! :)

I am currently reading "The Hour I First Believed" by Wally Lamb...so far, excellent! I had to stop a few minutes to read a book my friend wrote. She is waiting to hear from the publisher, so that is fun.

Great request...my light recommendations would be the "Cat Who.." mystery series by Lilian Jackson Braun. I've just started Steven Saylor's historical fiction series. Very meaty.

I just started reading See You in a Hundred Years, by Logan Ward. He is a journalist who decided to spend a year living like it was 1900. Just started it, but pretty interesting so far!
Man, I REALLY need the paper organization giveaway! I am a hoarder of all things paper, and always think I am going to need everything "someday".
