New Uses for Hangers

Guest blogger Audra Fettinger shares her invaluable insight once again.  Enjoy!

old definition: hang-er (noun)

1. frame for hanging a garment

new definition: hang-er (noun)



1. thing for organizing your small garden flags.

Group seasonal flags together on one skirt hanger. Place in a closet.

Smile, knowing next month you can find your wrinkle free flag.

2. display for children’s artwork and school papers.

Buy wooden skirt hangers with hooks. Let your munchkins decorate with their name. Arrange in the hall or family room. Volia! Instant art gallery that’s easy to change.

3. puzzle or gamekeeper

Place puzzle pieces and picture from the box in a zip lock bag. (Face it, the box is crushed and tape will not hold up to a second beating.) Use the clips to hold the newly organized nightmare. Bonus: the kids can’t reach them without supervision. No more mystery puzzle pieces around the house.

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

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
