Well, I just jumped into the deep end of the pool - with no life preserver - and honestly it feels great!  I've been doing that a lot this year.  Every new experience has been another pool and every risk I take is another leap into that deep blue water.
     Launching a business is like that!  It's been fun, challenging, intriguing, frustrating, confidence boosting, character building and a million other things.  (Thankfully I have the nicest family, friends, and clients who have encouraged me every step of the way!)
     Today's dive into the pool is the newsletter you are reading.  I finally turned the corner on writing a newsletter when I realized that organization is involved in so many aspects of our lives.  It's almost like physics - which is in everything.  Now, I think about organizing a lot of course.  I take classes on organizing and I talk organizing with my friends, clients and other Organizers.  My AHA! moment was  the day I realized it really does apply to everything we have and do.  Think about it!  Of course we want our rooms, cupboards, drawers, and closets to be organized.  Heard the term "time management"?  That's time organization.
     Ladies, how many times do we wish we had a more organized purse instead of constantly digging in the bottom for what we need?  How about your car, briefcase, attic, in basket, calendar, recipe collection, hobby supplies, sports gear, photos, vacation information or your shoes?  Organized? Here's the good news: changing one little thing can be of the greatest benefit. Now, I wouldn't tell anyone to attempt to organize everything they have all at once!  That will only lead to more frustration.  As with any change, its better to start slow and go at a steady pace until the change feels more natural.  Don't try to eat the elephant - take one bite at a time.  The other good news: what is organized to one person may be different for another!!   So just because your mother in law thinks you are unorganized - you may not be at all!  If you know what you have and where to find it - you are organized in your own way.  Don't know what you have or can't find it?  A little organizing may be in order.  Is it a new thing for you?  You can do it!  Jump in the pool - it feels great!
