My Life is One BIG Mess

August 18, 2006

Do you ever feel like your life is a mess? You know, toys thrown all over the room, and clothes scattered across the bedroom floor. No matter how much I clean, throw away, give away, and sell, the mess just seems to multiply.Twice a year I gather up the kids old clothes and toys for a big consignment sale. I just packed the car and will drop it off tomorrow. Then I get to shop for more STUFF on Saturday. Actually, it’s a great deal. I get my little girl’s entire wardrobe in one shot. Then next year I turn around and sell it.

This year I’m a little wiser though. For this summer I bought all these cute capri and short sets, but she prefers dresses. So when I go shop for her, I have to remember it’s for her and not me. That means no jeans (she has enough in her closet), nothing that restricts her neck like sweaters, turtle necks and hoodies. So what’s left to buy? Dresses, dresses, shoes, tights and more dresses!

I just hope I don’t come home with more STUFF than what I got rid of!!!!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
