Resolution or Revulsion!
It’s the 2nd half of January, which is usually when those well-intended resolutions you were so excited about at the end of December turn into revulsions, as you think about having to actually KEEP them. Fear Not! It’s all about perspective! If you view your resolutions as dreaded to-do items, your well-intended resolutions will fall […]
Clutter Free Holidays
Do you dread the holidays? I’ve heard many people over the years, tell me about their not-so-jolly holiday problems.
