'Creating Personal Designs for Effective Style and Organization'TM

Jade at Tea
Greetings!
 
Welcome to the Organized by Terri
 May Newsletter!
 
This month we are sharing ideas for the summer/travel months ahead. Whether you are taking a trip or staying at home, for what is now being called a "staycation." A 'Staycation' is just that-stay at home and enjoy the surrounding events your city or  local areas around may offer for entertainment.
 
Whether you visit a National Park for a picnic, fishing, or hiking or local swimming pools for a day of relaxation with the children. For the adults local art museums, vineyards and wine tasting, cooking classes, local community plays or ballgames-whatever may be offered that can save you time in travel and money yet provide many hours of enjoyment for you and your family. 
 
 DON'T MISS THIS!!

May is Clean Up Your Room Month
 
Jade at Tea 
 
 
 
 
 
The echo of my mother's voice can still be heard just writing those words- 'Clean up your room and then you may go outside to play!'  Bummer, I thought then- and yet much of what I know now as an organizer and appreciate are the basic good vibes or 'mojo' from a clean room,  space or office! As a child I remember coming into my room to take a break from outdoor play on a hot summer afternoon, and see a bed made and dolls and toys set aside for play. Taking a break from outdoor activities, neat spaces allow one the enjoyment of being indoors.  My place, my stuff -where my imagination could inspire  or  create in a relaxing environment.
 
Areas set up for creative, imaginative play, and space to draw, cut and color. A window that gives needed light for reading and daydreaming.  Soft pillows for cat- napping.  Cozy  memories and simple, basic functionality.
 
Much as it is today, our environments do influence what we will be inspired to accomplish and then give us the ability to relax,  refresh and rejuvenate. Its functionality will influence the ease in which we will be able to accomplish our home and work activities/ goals.  Organization and function fit neatly together so that as we prepare for work and other responsibilities outside our home they better enable us to complete those goals. Once the 'outside work' is accomplished-we can look forward to being in our place, with our stuff -where we can be inspired in what we call our homes.  
 All the Best,
               Terri
