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 always think Diary of Anne Frank is such a good read. Gives me hope. Makes me remember what I felt like as a young girl and how far I've personally come. Definitely my alltime fav!

Definitely recommending "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult. She's just an amazing writer and this book was one of the best I've read by her. And on her website, it says that it will be made into a movie this summer, so read it now before it's on the big screen!

I really need to find a good book. My favourite is the Harry Potter series, it might be time to grow up though.

I love the book FireFly Lane by Kristin Hannah. A sweet, fun novel about a life long friendship.

It's impossible to pick my favorite. I love all of Tolkien. I love all of the Harry Potter Series. I love much of what would be considered American and English classics too. I recently read the Twilight books and couldn't put them down.

My favorite book(s) are the St. Simons Island books by Eugenia Price. There are two different series of historical fiction about the people who lived on St. Simons Island from the Revolutionary War through the Civil War. I have reread these books many times!

I always look forward to Wednesdays because of your giveaways. They never disappoint. So thank you for this midweek treasure. I recommend you read Blood Memory by Greg Iles. It is so gripping, you just can not put it down. If you are looking for a classic I suggest Anna Karenina. Absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching.

I have three books that I can't decide between. "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb, "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert and "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Piccoult. I am reading "Pillars of the Earth" now and LOVE it.

Such fun new things!
My favorite book...so hard to choose...just finished the "Twilight" series - easy reads. Mary Kay Andrews series I finished for book club about a month ago...easy. "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World" is on my bedside table along with "The Last Lecture". I just started one by Jodi Piccoult, "My Sisters Keeper"...should be very good! It's hard to find the time to read...it's my late night guilty pleasure...everyone in bed, the quiet of the house, no one yelling "mommy", I should be getting rest, but it's my time.
