Day Thirteen: Joyfully Organized - I Still Have It - but I Don't

Each day from December 7th through the day of the Joyfully Organized Teleclass - January 7th - I will be posting each day about something that made me happy, joyful, smile or laugh - you get the idea.

 I really hate paper.  I just detest it.  This hatred intensified for me last year when I brought boxes of paper home from my moms.  These papers were important and had to be kept - ancestry papers, pictures, letters.  The problem was that I didn't want to keep the physical paper.  What to do, what to do?

I broke down and purchased this little gem.  It is a Neat Scanner.  I could not be more pleased.  

 This sweet little scanner allows me to keep the important stuff - electronically.  All I do is scan it into Neat and it sends it to my Evernote account.  In my Evernote account I have loads of pictures, ancestry documents and my work stuff as well.

 So I have the paper - but I don't have to physically store the paper.  I could not be happier!

 What made you joyful today?

In Joy,


Wendy

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
