One of my New Year's resolutions or evolution as I have renamed it is to live more with less! I have found that when I have less I truthfully live more! A few years ago when I had to pack my 4 bedroom house in a 20 x 20 truck I realized how much excess we had as a family. Then moving into a smaller house with less things gave me so much freedom.
Thinking back I was "slaved" to my things. That big house took forever to clean and all of those clothes took forever to wash and the pile of 20 plates and 50 cups did not wash itself or got themselves to the dishwasher/cabinets without some help. So many weekends I spent cleaning and cooking to have a less chaotic week. So many times I said no to people, events, opportunities because I needed to get my stuff in order! This year my word is "selfish" which is not a bad thing I have learned. This is the year that I will put myself first in all areas of my life. This is the year that my happiness will come from living simply. This year I will de-clutter the house, my business, my circle of friends and most of all my heart. I have let go of all of the things that no longer serve me to create a "transformational" (Just made up that word) space in and out of my physical space. One of the first things that I did was to say NO and know in my heart that no explanation is necessary. No, I don't feel like it and that is the end of that. I don't have to have a mysterious illness or pretend to be busy. The people worth keeping in my circle understand it very well and the ones that don't I am happy to see them go and grow. Lots of clients tell me that they want to put their house in order but are emotionally unable to do so. My response is one that I live by: "When our outside is organized the clutter inside of us tend to organize itself". If you feel emotionally unable to organize make yourself do it anyways. Do the flylady method which is 15 minutes at a time (her motto is you can do anything for 15 minutes - check her out at www.flylady.net) or do the KonMari method which is by category (clothes, books, paper, miscellaneous and sentimental - check out her documentary on Netflix - Tidying up with Marie Kondo ) but do it! You deserve to have the best life - And the lightest one too! Ready to KonMari your business? Schedule your Business X-Ray today!

A new year and a new resolution!!!
This year my only resolution is to be SELFISH! Yes, you read that right...I struggled with my word for 2019 and even though inspiring, growth, focused, and intentional sounded trendy and way cuter I want to be selfish - no I crave being SELFISH!!! While asking God for a sign that I could and should be selfish this year I came across Matthew 5:16 which says "let your light shine before others..." which to me it was His permission for me to be selfish and put myself first! Here are 5 tips on how you can do that too: 1. Change your mindset - instead of blaming yourself for all of the things that you have done wrong or not accomplished tap yourself on that back for all of the things that you have done right, the things that you are proud of and the things you have overcome. 2. Get an accountability partner - this person needs to be someone out of your circle of love. It needs to be that one friend that has no filter between brain and mouth and will care more about your results than your feelings! 3. Plan, Plan, Plan - if you fail to plan you plan to fail! Put yourself in your calendar and make a plan of action for your goals. 5. Prioritize - put yourself first, pay yourself first, feed yourself first, reach for your dreams first and give yourself permission to come before everyone and everything else! You are not the same person that started 2018 - all of your obstacles, trials and tribulations that lead you to become the person that will rock 2019! You are not the same person that started 2018 - all of your obstacles, trials and tribulations that lead you to become the person that will rock 2019! You are not the same person that started 2018, all of your obstacles, trials and tribulations have made you the person that will absolutely rock in 2019! And I will be right here, cheering you on!
