Hello ladies! I love, love, love Peter Walsh, he speaks directly to me in his writing and shows. He has a new book out, which I just received today from Amazon, entitled "Lighten Up - Love what you have, Have What you need, and Be Happier with less". I already briefly looked at it and it is classic Peter, which is -face it and deal with it, it isn't going to go away on its own" - (my words, not his). The amazing thing is the Table of contents is exactly what I have just finished doing - auditing my house and personal life. He suggests going through all areas of your life and house and documenting the current state of them, so then you can plan what to change. He calls it "From Audit to Action", which I was calling inventorying my property (stuff) and life. In the last week I have gone to each room, garage, attic, property and taken pictures of everything - as it is! This provides me with the "before" pictures, because I definitely want an "after" picture. I took pictures of me, DH and DS too! Now I'm in the planning stage of action, hopefully not procrastinating but making an action plan to follow. He writes, "Prioritizing your time and tasks is a key step in organizing. Write up a plan of what needs to be done and be as specific as possible about what will get done and when." Also, "Small steps yield big results. Focus less on how long it may take you, and work for small changes each day and have faith the the big ones will come."
My theme for the year is "Peace and Freedom" and uncluttering my home and life is the path I'm taking. Thanks for your support on the journey. I get so much inspiration from reading all your posts.
