My iconic Mom.

Here on this spinning planet we would (well I would for certain!) throw you a tremendous and fun filled celebration of you earth number of 98 years.

And what a party it would be.

I hope that you traipsed over to Switzerland and had a Campari soda in the Alps. Then made your way to Germany to visit old friends and old haunts. And then found yourself on the Italian coast with that dashing young man who won your heart for a long weekend.

Today I, we, celebrate you. I hope that wherever you find yourself you are experiencing the love that is truly the ripple of the way you lived.

So many are so grateful. I know this, firsthand.

Be free. Be glorious. Give Annette huge hugs. And be you… always you. We are all better for that example.

I Love You ❤️❤️❤️

Sooo... I found this treasure hiding on the shelf in the fridge door.

Yikes!

Fall being such a cooking season what better reason to go through the condiments and expired pantry items.

My guess is you might also find some treasures of your own. 😏

It’s been quite a while since I’ve hopped on here (a bit like this photo perhaps 🙃) but I wanted to say there really is no ‘right or wrong’ way. If it gets you where you’re headed, achieving what you wanted then keep doing that.

In regards to organizing or simplifying or getting your heart, hearth and home in harmony, be gentle and generous with yourself and your methods. This is powerful work and very satisfying, but it can also be frustrating and overwhelming.

Be good to you, celebrate your victories (no matter how small!) and try to find some fun in the process.

Peace to each 🌺

Well said.

Commercials, advertisements, and marketers work tirelessly to convince us that products manufactured on assembly lines will make us happier. But in reality, these unnecessary purchases separate us from our dollars while adding stress, burden, and obligation to our lives. It is time to step away.

My interest from a closed bank account (that they forgot to actually close after the money was withdrawn).

I laughed and told the teller I was going to put one on each corner for 4 blocks with a chalk arrow saying: “This one’s on me.”

NPR did a story about a Dad that was walking with his son and saw a penny and his son told him it wasn’t worth picking up.

Wow.

If nothing else you’d get a little exercise.

Think about some of the things you own/store/keep that could bring you a few coins?

My guess is moving them along and giving someone else an opportunity to use them might be worth the effort, and the coins.

So true.

Just a little something to bring some love to you... ❤️

Yes, and yes. ❤️

I am sharing this because of its simplicity.

What are 3 things you could let go of today to lighten your load?

I'd love to know. ❤️

For me:
1. I will bring that bag I have to donations. (And, set a 10 minute timer and see what else can go!)
2. Self judgement. (It really doesn't serve me and burdens my joyful flow.)
3. Perfectionism. (Oy. What a thief of productivity. Amongst other things!)

Have an inspiring day! ❤️

I found this to be a great tool.
It's similar to a strategy I use.
I hope it helps!

Thanks to Sara Caputo for including it in her recent post.

The “Ivy Lee Method” is stupidly simple, and that’s partly why it’s so effective.

Our heads were made for solving problems, not storing them.

When we have too much to think about and too much to get done we become overwhelmed.

Here is a simple and effective tool:

~Get a clipboard and a handful of white paper from your printer.
~Title the top of the page with one of the rooms and begin listing the things that need to be taken care of in that space.
~Have a different page for every room or if it's a project, title the page with the project so that you can look at all the things that need to get done to complete it.

And then enjoy that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you start accomplishing things and taking them out of your head and back into your hands.

You got this!

Enjoying summer fun with the family and found this in a Zion, Utah gift shop.

I love cool stuff! But a great saying goes: Don't love anything that can't love you back.

Surround yourselves with great stuff, great experiences and make awesome memories.

You're cool enough. ❤️
