Horrified to Toss Your Holiday Cards?

Consider scanning them into your computer. With programs like Picasa from Google, you can organize your cards into year or person. Then you can use the cards as a screen saver throughout the year!

Once you have scanned your cards, consider donating them to your local retirement community. They are always looking for craft projects and this is a great one. There is a local retirement home in my town that takes cards and the residents recycle them to use as post cards. There is one resident that makes holiday houses out of the cards - so amazing!

You know what? The moment I embraced who I was becoming, is the moment that everythi

Mastering Your Mindset and Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

Mindset is a funny thing.   When it's strong, you feel like you can tackle anything.  When it's weak, you feel like you have no energy and can't accomplish a thing. Let me share an example with you.   Are you wishing that you could declutter your dining room table so that you can share meals as a family, but a little voice is telling you that you can't do it?  Sound familiar? This was Ellen's wish during last month's call.   She tried in the past, the table got cluttered again and she shut down. During the call, Ellen identified a new way to deal with her dining room table, when it gets cluttered.  Something she's never tried before.  She changed her mindset. Are you interested in the steps you can take to make your mindset so strong that not only have you cleared and kept your (fill in the blank) clear, but your family is sharing quality time together - and your relationships have become stronger?  If yes, read on.
