April 13, 2012 Breathe

Over the last 10 years, I've studied all sorts of meditation tools, gurus and techniques for quieting the mind. I've studied Holosync, Sufi Remembrance Prayer, Wayner Dyer's Morning and Evening Meditations, Yoga and Thich Nhat Hanh. I regret none of it. Every single piece has brought greater joy, greater serenity, greater depth and greater happiness [...]

March 3, 2012 Living

Hey, it's the final day of the Dirty 30 Challenge – thanks so much for following along! Today, Johanna and I conquered her bathroom cabinet. She and I had a great time deciding what to keep, what to give away and what to throw away. Gotta teach them young to be organized!

Day 29 of the Dirty 30 Challenge – we're almost at the finish line! This cabinet in the kitchen was crammed full of Tupperware, baking pans and more.

February 29, 2012 Living

Oh man, have I been dreading this one. The problem here was this: if you have a little headache or a tummy ache, you'd like to go retrieve something that will provide relief and not have to go to a place that will make you feel even more sick. As you can see, I managed [...]

Cups, cups and more cups. I gave about half away, threw away another 25 percent and ONLY kept the cups we had lids for. Ahhh… So much better! Keep an eye out for another space decluttering tomorrow.

Dirty 30 Challenge Day 25: Kids Towel Shelf

February 27, 2012 Living

Today's Dirty 30 Challenge space is a close neighbor of yesterday's "odds and ends" shelf. Looks like my little girl's towels weren't getting all the space originally allotted to them.
