    What is your biggest dream?
    Erin Elizabeth Wells

    Create a Lifestyle, not an Outcome.

    We all have fantasies about lifestyles we wish we could have. Perhaps it’s wandering the world to eat exotic cuisine, living in a cottage in Scotland, or cruising a boat around the Caribbean. What if you decided TODAY to make that dream happen?


    The only thing stopping you is yourself.

    Do Not Be Overwhelmed with Bridal Show Paraphernalia
    Hillary Adams

    When planning a wedding one of the most common places to start is at bridal shows.  While these events offer a vast variety of services and information, they can also leave you with a surplus of written materials.  Don’t let the free tote bags and mounds of literature make wedding planning any more exhausting than it already is.

    Three Tips for Conquering Big Projects
    Amanda Darlack

    My husband and I are moving this summer and we have been systematically sorting through all our things and weeding what we don't need anymore/don't want to carry up three flights of stairs into the new apartment.

    My husband has many, many books.  (Books are heavy!)  He's also a librarian, so he sorted through his books and picked out the ones he could easily get where he works.  He weeded out over 100 books.

    Just Start Somewhere
    Amy Anderson

    Years ago, I worked in a bookstore and the manager asked me to create a large display.  He said I could be as creative as I wanted to be, just make sure it reflected the season (which happened to be Spring).  At first, I was excited.  I consider myself to be fairly creative and was eager to get to it.  I cleaned off the shelving and display area, brought in a bunch of books, stationery, and knick-knacks that the store sold regularly.  I stood back and surveyed my “canvas.”

    What is Holistic Organizing?
    Erin Elizabeth Wells

    During a recent visit to Raleigh, North Carolina, my dear colleague Geralin Thomas, of Metropolitan Organizing, asked me to write a guest post for her blog answering the important question: “What is Holistic Organizing?” In recent years there have been an increasing number of professional organizers using this term, and, while I won’t attempt to speak for all of them, I want to offer an answer that captures how we use the term at Living Peace.
