A friend and I were deep into discussion this weekend when she mentioned she had found an old love note from a former lover. She picked it up and read it, and all at once the old memories came crashing over her. She decided it was in her best interest to tear up the note [...]

My beloved collection of blown glass dragons guarding my window…
I discovered while cleaning this evening that my beautiful dragons were practically hidden from view by all the various odd and end decor I had on this table. As much as I loved the ships and lighthouses surrounding this case, they just had to go. Sometimes less is [...]

If I don’t know a visitor to my apartment very well they may only see the front room or receive a really quick walk-through tour. I usually do not give them enough time to linger and look around. After all, they may find something disagreeable about me. They may not like the same music, for instance, [...]

Tonight I took a few more steps into my decision to find simplicity in my life: six bags went to the Goodwill and four into the trash. Sadly, my apartment still does not look like I have done much to it. It’s a clear sign that something is lacking in my life as I seem [...]

I’m counting the days until the 4 day weekend. This is probably the first time in many years I haven’t had to work Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and it’s a good feeling.
It’s funny how the holidays always feel so rushed and crazy, yet mine are surprisingly lazy this year. Aside from the few [...]

This week has been fantastic and odd at the same time. I’m discovering the clutter removal is making a drastic difference in my life. This week alone was proof.
First off, on the workfront: instead of coming into work droopy and depressed, I came in positive and happy. I smiled at people and tried to include [...]

My closet is my kryptonite; it’s practically impossible to organize. I have tons of clothes, purses, shoes, knitting materials, books, extra junk. In response, here is my shopping list for the week:
Ideas to solve a few issues..

What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” – Albert Pine

Things women can never have enough of:
1.) Shoes
2.) Clothes
3.) Purses

Bath Products…
The moment of realization came when I discovered my towels no longer fit in the usual place under the sink. Additionally, lotion and spray bottles were appearing on my bookcase, bedroom shelves, work desk, [...]
