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!

I LOVE The Giver by Lois Lowry. I know it's a "kid" book, but it teaches such a great lesson about thinking for yourself, and not always accepting the way your society does things because it's the way they've always been done.

"The Shack" was awesome. Not a book you want to read if you have a little one though wait til she's older- much older.

I really enjoyed Glenn Beck's book. He's a "real" person to me and I appreciate his views.

Favorite book just read with my boys, "Scaredy Squirrel at night" by Melanie Watt. Wonderful books that helped with my youngest son overcome some of his fears of nightmares and sleeping in the dark.

My husband teases me for reading these books, but I love the mystery series "The Cat Who..." by Lillian Jackson Braun. He jokes that I'm reading stories about a cat detective (they're really not). Anyway, they're fun, lighthearted easy reading. Thanks for the shot at the giveaway.

I adored The Time Traveler's Wife and for brain candy I still like Dean Koontz and Jodi Picoult. Her newest one was excellent.

The odds are against me, but I've been eyeing that Studio Calico kit, so I'll give it a try. :) I usually say my favorite book of all time is Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani, but Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos is now challenging for the top spot... they're both great!
