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!

Not sure why my comment didn't post....but my favorite recent read was Momma Zen by Karen Maezen Miller. It's full of "Ah-ha..." moments and non-religious inspiration just for moms! Awesome quick read.

I am re-reading The Diary of Anne Frank. A little shy of one year ago we traveled to Amsterdam and visited the annex. The book seems to have more meaning to me now than it did years ago.

Thanks for the chance! One of my favourite books of late is Baby Games, by Elaine Clow-Martin. Gives me ideas and changes up things a little when we've done everything else by noon!

No doubt about it -- Horton Hears a Who! Everyone in the world, young and old alike, can profit from being reminded that good, worthwhile things come in all sizes and that marching to the beat of your own drum, especially when it's for a "bigger" purpose, isn't a bad thing.

My favorite books are the Twilight serious {I know, most everyone likes them right now} but one author I enjoy every time one of his books comes out is Richard Paul Evans. I think my favorite book of his is the only one that is non~fiction and the best for the current economic times... The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me.

I am currently in love with the Twilight series. It is nice to read something that is pure fantasy and does not require thought! 8 )

I'm not an avid reader by any means, but from the few books I've read one of the ones that has stuck with me is Midwives. It was one of Ophrah's bookclub, quite some time ago, but that is actually a book I would consider reading again.
