Ship and Stamp in your Pajamas
Did you know that the post office offers stamps by mail, the ability to order boxes delivered to your door for free and you can also schedule a home pick up?  No more waiting in line at the post office = no stress!  I've been using this service for years and it is so helpful............and I don't have to change out of my comfy pj's to do it!


Let's Talk Turkey
Over the Thanksgiving Holiday, talk with your family members and decide how or if you will give gifts this year.  You may want to each draw a name and buy for that family member.  Or agree not to buy gifts at all and arrange to go out to a nice dinner or a movie..........or go ice skating together.  That way you will have a nice memory to enjoy instead of a shiny-new-whatchamacalit that you really didn't need in the first place.

More tips to follow in the coming days.

Can you see your future?

I was coaching my client, Carolyn today.   She was stuck in a mindset of only seeing her present circumstances or even worse - the past.  She wasn't seeing her future .  Turns out, she never thought about it.   I asked her - W hat it would mean for your life once the paper piles are gone?  What it would mean for your life once the necessary repairs were made to the kitchen and bathroom?  What it would mean for your life once the dread, shame and weight off your shoulders was lifted?  She kept going back to how her home looked right now and the struggles she was faced.  She wasn't seeing her future.  But I was.  Carolyn is so close to having her home decluttered.  But she was still living in the past. I told her that I had a challenge for her.  I asked Carolyn if she would close her eyes and visualize what her home will look like when it is decluttered, when she can find what she needs and when the overwhelming tension has been lifted from her shoulders.  I heard a deep
