Good Morning 1.09.08

Over the past decade, many people have been turning toward the "voluntary simplicity" movement--giving up chaos for calm, and learning to make life choices that reflect a state of calm-energy instead of anxious-energy. This 30-day class will give you 30 steps for embarking down the path to a sane and simpler life.

Starts January 14

Throughout the ages, many women have used journaling to solve problems, gain insight, and encourage self-discovery. One need not be a writer or creative to derive the benefits that can only be found though the practice of journaling.

Starts January 21

During this 30 Day Paper and File Makeover you will learn a new way to tackle the paper piles once and for all. The one unique rule of my approach is that during this class, you are not allowed to purchase any manila folders, hanging files, cute tabs, filing cabinets, paper sorters, or other paper-storing materials. We aren't going to buy a system and try to make your papers "fit into the system." Instead, we are going to discover your unique Paper Personality, and then create the system to support it.

...courage is only an accumulation of small steps.

~ George Konrád

Good morning! Good morning! As we greet the second Wednesday of this New Year, I thought this quote is a great reminder of what courage is and how we develop it. Many of us would like to feel more confident about our approach and about the steps that we take. Many of us would like to feel that when faced with adversity, we act in courageous ways. Many of us would like to feel that we have a strong "center" within that guides are actions. Konrad's quote offers the simple formula for developing courage. Courage is within reach for all of us.

We build courage not by taking risks, but by taking steps. As we take small steps forward in our lives, we build confidence. We master the art of taking the small step. Then we can take a little bigger step, and then a little bigger step. Courage is the art of moving forward instead of standing still in indecision.

Your Affirmation:

I am courageous. Each day I challenge myself to be my personal best.

Challenge Life!
