Have you ever looked at that pile of papers on the desk, clutter on your counter — or what little you can actually see of the counter — and just feel overwhelmed? A feeling that you want it neat but don’t know where to begin? You’re seeing clutter and chaos when what you really want […]
Is Coloring Only for Kids?
Let’s just say you’re feeling stressed. Okay, who isn’t feeling stressed? Lowering your overall feeling of happiness.

Happy Planning
Here we are at the end of another year. How did those New Year’s resolutions you made last January 1st work out? Oh, yeah . . . THOSE resolutions! Were those the ones you forgot on January 7th, or maybe even on January 2nd? In the past, I’ve tried making New Year’s resolutions, but they […]
