Did you read about my Freedom List? Want to create one for yourself? It really helps to get things out of your head and onto paper — capturing everything that you are tolerating and that needs completing. While I was continuing to make my list today, Hanna was playing the piano. It was one of those divine …
Today I began making a list, fondly named my Freedom List, to guide me in creating space long after this 30-day journey is over. It’s more than a to-do list, in fact, I think you can build your to-do list off this master list. Rather a Freedom List is meant to capture all the things …
Four more days. Four little projects. My excitement is growing. This journey has taught me so much, but most dear to me today is the significance of completing what I started. I’m the creative type and I’ll admit, I’m easily distracted. I have what I call the shiny button syndrome. I can be working on something …
I woke up today ready to say, “I’m good thanks. I’m done with this little decluttering journey. Next…” And the wiser sage within said, “Not so fast sparkles. We’re so close. And it’s just getting juicy.” (… off to that pile of papers I go!) Ready to give up? Maybe it’s time to give in. Give in fully …
My decluttering task for today is a simple one. Unpack the small box from my office floor. It will take me all of 5 minutes, yet it has been sitting there for two weeks. So, here we go…. DONE. As my daughter would say “Easy peasy lemon squeezy.” And in my hands, beautiful new material on …
February 1st today! I greet this new month with eager anticipation. Today’s win was facilitating a hand-off of a consulting project to a very competent writer who I know will do a fabulous job in my place. It’s so amazing to sit down with another writer and effortlessly create a document outline in minutes. It’s …
I mean literally. Where did the day go? I found myself ‘being there’ for many people throughout the day. I love that. I love listening and guiding… helping people see their blocks. Their clutter. Knowing that what I’m always noticing is a reflection of my own inner world. This morning I awoke to a silent …
Oh, what a productive day! I declared it that before I started it. And we got lots DONE! Hanna’s craft table is all sorted, my pantry is more lean and inviting, I immersed myself in some great writing and even had time for a work-out. Plus laundry is done and we enjoyed a yummy family dinner together …
With 9 days left in this little journey, let’s bring on more structure. Today I sat down and made a list. I picked 9 little projects I’d like completed — 9 areas I’d love to see more place in. I also marked down how long I suspected each would take me and then assigned them to the remaining days. …
My dear friend and parent coach Ann-Michele Timmerman has shared two gems of sage wisdom that I love and think are so guiding. The first is a quote by Carl Jung. “The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of the parents.” And the second gem comes from her own coaching experience. Ann-Michele offers: …
I’ve just had an amazing three days of clearing emotional clutter — challenging those thoughts that don’t serve who I am becoming. I had an experience last night that pushed me way out of my comfort zone. I’ll share more when I have a moment this weekend. Needless to say, I have formed a new …
If you saw my In Negotiations post, you know I’ve been busy. It may seem like a side-step from this Creating Space journey. But it’s not. In fact, it is THE JOURNEY. It’s truly the magic of what unfolds in the journey process, which I plan to do more of in 2011. You see, I create …
