A Dream Come True for Clutter Conscious Bookworms!


I love books.  Books can teach, transport you to another world, enlighten you,  make you laugh or cry.  There is also one other thing that books can do and that is to cause clutter.  Yes, you can have too many books.

However, with technology tools today like the Kindle, you can now enjoy as many as 3,500 books.  Imagine physically having to store that many books in your home.  You'd have to have a separate rental unit just for your books and don't even get me started on that!

The Kindle also offers free 3G wireless - so while you are out and about you can check your emails, the weather, post your status on your Facebook.

And the best part - you can download books immediately.  If you need a book right now, it's just a click away.  This can really come in handy on a day like today in Northern Indiana when we are in the middle of a blizzard.

From what I've seen of the Kindle, it's a dream come true for us clutter conscious bookworms!

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
