Summertime in the Midwest brings lots of sunshine, most of the time. It allows us to get outside and commune with nature. We can get some exercise by working in the garden, taking a walk, biking or many other fitness activities. It’s also a time to take vacations, perhaps in a sunshine state such as Florida or California.
Paper clutter seems to be one of the biggest organizing challenges for a lot of people. It takes up a lot of space, and produces stagnant energy, and that causes stress. Incoming paper comes from a variety of sources such as mail, newspapers, magazines, phone books, the list goes on.
These days everyone is looking for ways to not only save time but also money. Paying bills is something we all do, and it can be time consuming and stressful.

Last week we rang out the old year and celebrated the beginning of this new year, 2011. With the new year comes a time to reflect on the past year.

It’s time once again to set goals and create a plan to accomplish those goals.
I love to travel! Seeing new sights and meeting new people is a wonderful experience. Traveling also creates memories that last a lifetime. Getting away from time to time provides an escape from the day to day activities that can create a lot of stress in our lives.
Even though winter is not officially here yet, the temperatures have been dropping rapidly. Some of us have already seen significant snowfalls, and you know what that means, treacherous driving conditions, and shoveling snow.
