Yes, I hired a professional organizer. Overall, it was an interesting and helpful experience and I’ll continue to work with her until I am clutter free. From a budget perspective, she does not charge too much more than the woman who cleans my house. So I’m planning to have my house cleaned less often to help cover the new… Continue reading Professional Organizer or Bust!

I have been failing miserably in the realm of staying organized. I think I hit rock bottom last week when the Staying Organized section of my June life balance report went something like this “I’m speechless and still a disaster”.  That sentence made me realize that the time to take action is now! I have been thinking about the mission of… Continue reading It Takes a Village

This is my second monthly life balance report on CreateaBalance.com. I still have not found the best way to quantify my life balance success (the million dollar question) so I’m staying with the instinctual and less mathematical approach for June. This month I am going to use the 5 star method. Here are June’s Results:… Continue reading Life Balance Report – June 2008

My Life Balance Garden by Stacey Hoffer Weckstein Follow me to the garden of life balance. Full of the sea, white bright daisies, and my dreams. It’s quiet there in my garden of life balance, except when I choose to be loud. Then it’s full of children’s laughter, splashes, and giggles. My life balance garden… Continue reading My Life Balance Garden

“I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honor the place in you, where lies your love, your light, your truth and your beauty. I honor the place in you, where…if you are in that place in you … and I am in that place in me…then there is only one… Continue reading The Intention of Simplifying

From the darkness she rises. Holding on to inspiring visions, covering her ears as she hums loud enough to ignore her inner critics (click here to hear the song she is humming), she nearly knocked me down this week.  I had no choice but to find the time to meet her needs. Within a matter of… Continue reading The Painter Emerges

I did it! I created a post on Chicago’s craigslist in search of people interested in forming a succulent wild writers group in the Evanston/Skokie area. Since I returned from Kripalu, I have not been successful in finding a creative community or a writers group….so I decided to create my own. Please forward this post or my contact information if you know… Continue reading Succulent Wild Writers Group

For anyone who read my rave review of SARK’s Juicy Pens Thirsty Paper workshop in my May 2008 Life Balance Report post or my This is How I Dare post knows how awakening this workshop was for me. At the end of the workshop,… Continue reading Juicy Pens Thirsty Paper

Money Magazine is providing a seven-week easy-to-follow plan to help you get your finances in order. I like the concept of taking seven weeks to get focused on finances. It is enough time to stay focused without getting overwhelmed. Week one includes a creative interactive activity filled with index cards, writing, and conversation. Week One: Identify your… Continue reading Get a Financial Life by August

The thought of Monday mornings have been painful for me this summer. By Sunday evening I’m just getting into the groove of my summer love affair with my family. Splashing, dancing, kicking, running, laughing, and playing are but few of the fun action words describing my weekend w/ my boys. Watermelon, schwarma, ice cream, sushi, cantelope, smoothies, and popsicles are… Continue reading Getting Ready for Monday Morning

As a life balance enthusiast, I use many tricks to rummage the web for blogs that spark my interest. Today I found a web site called Life Balance, but the URL is http://kathrynworthingtonsmythe.blogspot.com. The first thing that I was drawn to was Kathryn’s definition of Life Balance: “Life Balance: A feat we try to achieve while searching… Continue reading The Spotlight is on Life Balance
