Do You Procrastinate?


Do you procrastinate? 
What is your dream(s)?
What is stopping you from going for that dream?
 Write down a list of pros (not cons) to going for your dream.
We regret more the things that we don’t do, than those we do. Promise to yourself that you’ll not sit on your talent a moment longer. Otherwise, you will not simply be doing a disservice to yourself, but also the people that will miss out on what you have to offer.

Big Brother 16: You SHOULD Tune IN!




Its a summer tradition for me! Come June every year I am ready to watch 16 strangers stuck in a house competing and scheming and fighting and loving for a chance to Win $500,00 dollars! Every season has their own distinct tone. I call this season (so far) the Sensitive season. EVERYONE has cried or gotten easily angered at least once already and we're only a few weeks in.

There are people who standout already! Some for better (Derrick, Cody) or for worse (Devin, Caleb, Jocasta). There is a first on TV, a gay/straight showmance (Zach and Frankie) that has taken the Internet by storm (and me too.). Pop star Ariana Grande's brother is Frankie. But the houseguests don't know. Crazy competitions. New twists like TWO Heads of Household and the Battle of the Block.And of course host Julie Chen (the Chenbot) It is jam packed full of brainless TV! Yet I can't stop watching and yelling at the TV when someone makes a dumb move! 

I'm all in! 

4 Tips For Your Closets




1- Do not hang your sweaters.   Neatly fold and store either in drawers or on closet shelving .

2- Use shoe racks to keep shoes organized in pairs and off the floor.

3- Store small accessory items in drawers or small containers on shelves.

4-Do not store unrelated items in closets, such as; kids games with your clothes, your clothing in baby’ s room, kitchenware in coat closet.  Keep coats in the coat closets. Baby clothes in the baby’s rooms. Games with games, etc. 

NOW I Get The Hype Behind Singer Sam Smith!


"Latch" by Disclosure featuring Sam Smith came out last year and I didn't like it at first. Then after many listens I fell in love with that high falsetto. Now I'm in love with his latest US top 5 hit, Stay With Me! I'm loving the musical arrangement but its that voice! I'm hooked. I got a new song for Organizing this summer!


Can You Hear Me????




Listening is one of the first skills taught in any coaching training.  We are asked to listen inward. We are told to know who WE are (called Coaching from Center).  As coaches we think we listen pretty well. And compared with the average person, we do. Our job is to listen to our clients to be able to hear what they want. Real listening is clearing your mind and NOT thinking about your responses to what is being said. The results are great! Less misunderstandings occur, clarity for you and others, and all round a better life.  How well you listen is directly proportional to how well you can quiet down your active mind. 

I invite you to begin to notice just how noisy your mind is, and begin to explore what you can do to become an even better listener.

Tumeric Isn't Just For Food Anymore


In India, turmeric isn’t just a flavorful spice -- it’s a medicinal staple and one of their go-to herbs when blood sugar problems flare. And now research at India’s Gujarat University confirms that turmeric’s active ingredient, called curcumin, switches on the genes that keep blood glucose levels in check. This compound also helps the pancreas’ ability to make insulin when sugar levels creep up. You must take at least half a teaspoon daily in order to see the benefits so start thinking about adding them to your meat and veggie dishes. A little dash also tastes great on eggs and rice.

Roll With It!



I have clients who like to roll their clothes and underwear and socks when we are organizing at their homes. And some of them like to roll their clothes when packing a suitcase for a trip. In many cases it is true that rolling rather than folding clothes can create more space. Rolling makes items more compact and can reduce wrinkles. The heaviest rolls, like jeans, go on the bottom of the suitcase; smaller rolls like socks and underwear go on top or crammed into extra spaces.
