| Quick Thought |
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock

Times of change are prime times 
to ask for support you might not typically need. Make it easier to move on to your next chapter.
I specialize in working with people who have gone through one or more of these significant life events - some sad, some happy, many bittersweet.
We meet in person, on the phone or both, to give you additional support in between meetings. "Coaches have the ability to view things from afar - in what
some call 'helicopter vision' - and to shed new light on difficult situations. Often they can act as a sounding board
through tough decisions, help sharpen skills, and motivate." CFO Magazine |

Get Smart
Reminiscing over the shows we grew up with generated this month's newsletter theme.
 | | Sue West, CPO, COC |
How do you get smarter about organizing your life? By knowing yourself better, first.
Throw away everyone else's ideas about how you can keep your life more organized.
What would help you feel more organized? When have you felt more organized than you do today? How did you do that? Can you learn from that experience and apply it similarly to today's challenge?
How do you process the world around you? Highly visual? Kinesthetic? Cognitive, intuitive, emotional ... ? This matters, because you'll want to set up organizing systems at home and at work which play to your strengths.
If getting smarter financially is on your mind, check in with my friend and colleague, Sherrill St. Germain, independent financial planner. As always, her latest newsletter is here.
To your organized life !

| ARTICLE HEADLINE | |  What's up for Summertime? I heard Suze Orman on TV today at the gym. You may have heard her say: "People first, then money, then things." Think about that order for a second. Today, she talked about our economy since 2008 ... that we need to to let it go, the idea that things will return to the way they were. But the good side, she continued, is that we are "returning to basic American values." Our values, in a few short words, describe who we are, what we are passionate about, what matters the most. Courage, excellence, learning, self-awareness, creativity, integration, knowledge - all values I've heard from coaching conversations. When we organize our lives based on our values, we are in sync, in flow, comfortable in our skin - however you feel it, you know it. And we know when something doesn't fit quite right in our life. "A life that fits" begins with knowing your values and builds from there. Back to Summertime As the graduations and parties finish up, as we move into our summer schedules, think about what's important to you. Continue reading |

Life in Context: Food Memories Workbook
Colleague Melissa Mannon of ArchivesInfo and I are creating the first in a series of workbooks to help you document what is meaningful to you. This series aims to support you while you define the values and traditions you want to pass on to future generations. The workbooks will help you mold your legacy.
Food Memories examines the role of food in your life. This resource will help you consider the meals, the events, and the heirloom serving pieces and tools that define your precious food memories.
We are looking for your food related stories to include in the book. We will choose our favorites to publish alongside our tips for telling your story, organizing your life, and preserving your heritage. For more information:

| ARTICLE HEADLINE | |  Summer Schedule Changes
Moms, entrepreneurs, grandparents - whatever your role is, we all feel it.
With anticipation, both positive and stress-filled,
we wait for that last day of school which changes our
schedule beginning in June.
The problem is that we often don't plan for it, and then try to do everything we normally do. We squeeze in time for those additional summer activities.
In our business, we think we can be as productive as we are the rest of the year. Not so.
We end up feeling like our time is splintered; there are too many pieces to our pie chart of a summer day schedule.
Solutions follow -- Tips for how to change your schedule, expectations and have a calmer summer season.
