"In the spring, at the end of the day you should smell like dirt
-Margaret Atwood
Hello Everyone!
How is everyone doing on this rainy Seattle Thursday? This morning I woke up feeling totally energized and balanced! I am returning to school on April 2nd to start the beginning of my Bachelors program in social human services! Wish me luck!
This makes me a little nervous and at the same time makes me want to nest like a pregnant woman in her third trimester. In order for me to be a successful student I need an organized work space to do homework and file and display important information.
I began my day of uncluttering by making a strong batch of pomegranate, earl grey, lemon- orange iced tea with a few pieces of organic orange thrown in there for good measure. I drank it all day as I listened to Brazilian breeze on Pandora and bravely ventured into the scary planet that is my closet......
In order to get started I was armed with my all natural grapefruit cleanser, face mask, gloves, and a few rolls of paper towels.....There were small islands of clothes, shoes, old magazines, art work, art supplies, make up, and a few barn yard animals grazing on some left over peeps from last Easter! :-)
I did loads of laundry, threw away bags of crap, put a few bags together for good will and cleaned it from top to bottom.......I started cleaning my bedroom at 11am and 12 hours later I was done.! I celebrated with a delicious glass of Chardonnay and some vegan nachos! Thank you to the fairies above and my friend K for telling me about almond milk cheese! Once it is melted you honestly think that you are eating real brie.....Salty and smooth and delicious!
I believe that the devil is sitting in hell in his red velvet lounge chair eating a large bowl of yogurt and drinking gallons upon gallons of whole milk ALL day! Laughing out loud and enjoying every single minute of it! Ha!
Hooray for a clean bedroom! I can't tell you how great it feels to be able to walk in there and be able to find anything that I need in a moments notice. That is the key to success in my humble opinion. When you need something and it has a home that you can visibly get to in under 4 seconds!
It's taken me close to 35 years to get to this point, but you know what my motto is : baby steps! I only have days like yesterday once every few weeks, so I really have to strike while the iron is hot!
Below is a shot of my organized desk! I am also looking to get a magnet board to put next to my cork board. The idea of buying new magnets is just too exciting for words! :-)
Do you have any tips for being organized? If so I would love to hear what they are! I am always on the hunt for ways to simplify my life and make things easier and more accessible!
On my last blog I mentioned that I was going to the post office to pick up a package! It was from my amazing friend C who lives in Indonesia! Here are the bracelets she sent me!
They are so meadow chic and I will think of her every time I wear them! She also got me stickers! I love stickers!
Keep a good mood! Until next time!
With a smile,
Reese
