Our lives are filled with paths upon which we travel, literally and metaphorically. The path from childhood to adulthood; the path through various education levels; the path of marriage and creating a family; the path of healing from a serious illness; the path through a work career just to name a few. Our paths, sometimes […]

Most of us don’t suffer from the problem of being too organized. We often struggle with managing papers, maintaining our desks so we can find what we need, keeping a check on closets, garages and shared space so we can use it and live in it. Too often we find ourselves battling with unmade decisions […]

Yes, it’s that time of year again with falling leaves, cooling weather and the return of the jam-packed holiday season. So many things to do and so little time. Oy!

Things we’ve held onto, items that have been given to us or things we’ve inherited are memory holders as well as potential clutter. Too often they become things that burden us rather than uplift us.
