i'm back

wow, it has been a while since i actually put words down. in that time period i have turned 45, gone to ny to work with organizing clients, attended a 3 day oprah work shop, taught yoga in vermont, attended family gatherings (on both sides) and officiated a wedding. yep, i have a new title. reverend. i am a yoga teacher, professional organizer, wedding marrying person! i used to think i wished that i just did one thing and only one thing but you know what that is not me. i have been blessed with a variety of gifts and i just need to embrace them. as my brother in law mike said to me for those with many gifts much is expected. now is the time for me to live up to that challenge.
each day, each moment is a new adventure. i am happy and blessed to take them all on.

what's your obstacle to organization? i want to create soemthing to help you out.

asking you the reader?

what is your biggest organizational challenge? it can be anything.

home plate

create a home station. when i get home, i empty my pockets, purse and put everything on a tray near the front doorway. my husband does the same. keys, purse, cash, cell phone, anything you take with you when you leave the house. you never have to look for a thing when you walk out the door. now that's time saving.

day 5...socks

do you sometimes find that when you take your socks out of the dryer one is missing?

when you take off your TWO socks immediately put them into an individual cotton bag. when it is time to do wash throw that bag in the washer and then in the dryer. by the time they are done you will end up with both socks. also, if you are doing laundry for your family have a bag for each family member. because if you are like me, you hate that part of sorting out who gets what sucks. don't boys socks all look the same and god forbid you mix it up...save time and headaches with this easy solution.

day 4...design tip

want some cool bookends? don't want to spend a lot of money? rocks! yep, rocks make cool bookends. use large stones to keep them in line. real simple magazine suggests large smooth rocks but i say just find ones that suit you. make them stylish...add paint!.

i like this tip.

P.S. I got a new job today but I am still going to post my tips. Thanks Universe.

day 3...your closet

is your closet a disaster? rule of thumb...only wear what you love. most of us gravitate towards the same things over and over. take a good hard look at your wardrobe. try on things that you don't weaar that often. is the color good? does it fit? if the answer is no...time to donate. keep the things that look great and fit properly. don't hold on to clothes that you hope to fit in to. because you know what...when you do get to that size...you're buying new clothes anyway.

WEAR WHAT YOU LOVE!

(p.s. your closet will thank you and you will spend less time trying to figure out what to wear.)
