Baggage Draggers – Are You One Of Them?

It’s not unusual to find beneath the manifestation of clutter there is the presence of emotional baggage from life experiences.  Years of  pain packed in suitcases that are dragged around with a collection of burdens and life disappointments.

Sometimes we hold onto our baggage for extended periods of time until we decide to unpack it for a while just to make sure that it’s still all there – reliving all the hurt and pain.  Then when it gets too unbearable, we pack it all up and drag it somewhere else.

Holding onto past experiences doesn’t foster growth or allow for new opportunities to enter our lives that can bring  joy, peace or love for that matter.  Unfortunately when we cling to these memories, we invite the pain to stay even longer along with the bitterness, depression and discouragement.

In order to break free from our excess baggage we need to learn how to “let go” of it.  By making a decision that you  no longer wish to be held a captive prisoner of your past, you can tell yourself you finally have had enough of focusing on all the negatives and you want to concentrate on moving forward with your life.  It is then, new beginnings are possible and your life will begin to improve.

Cleaning up the physical clutter is an important aspect to functioning in a healthy environment, but it is only part of the process of living clutter free.  Today, decide to unpack your baggage, take a good look at it and then let it go!

Thanksgiving – A Time To Be Thankful

It’s My Favorite Time Of Year…

Thanksgiving is a time when traditions come into our reality and play a vital role in how we celebrate this wonderful holiday.  From cooking the turkey, baking desserts and decorating the house, it’s also a time when we get to communicate all of the things we may be feeling, but do not necessarily say to the people who are important to us.

When I think back on all of the Thanksgiving traditions we have celebrated in our family, by far the one that still holds strong, and that I look forward to, is our round robin celebration.  This is where we all hold hands before we break bread and give thanks to our “Heavenly Father” and then we take turns expressing to one another how thankful we are for our family.

I am blessed with having a beautiful daughter, both my parent’s, and other family to share my Thanksgiving with.  I have learned throughout the years, with all my trials and tribulations, that saying “I Love You” or sharing my feelings with someone that I care deeply about, does not  have to take place only on a holiday however.  Life is too short for that.

On this particular Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the awakening of my mind, the stirring of my soul, and the opening of my heart – to witness and lovingly appreciate the gift of a beautiful sunrise, a gorgeous rainbow, a lovely smile, a warm hug, a contagious laugh, and a tender touch.

It is my wish for you this holiday, that you may know these gifts and share them with the people who have touched your life.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Patricia

Celebrity Talk…with Marlo Thomas

So here’s the scoop…the dating video is out….
check it out here:

http://marlothomas.aol.com/2010/10/13/auntie-marlo-and-kate-dating/

Marlo’s new book, Growing Up Laughing, has prompted a new website www.marlothomas.com where she has created an exciting community for women to discuss a variety of topics.

What did we talk about?

She was interested to learn about my experience as a single mom and going through the “empty nest” phase – with having only one child.

She was curious to know what it feels like to date in your 40’s & 50’s as a single woman…(now you know I have stories for you here that will make you laugh.)

Blissful Organization…

Today, I have in my hands, the final proof of my next book, Blissful Organization – A Guide to Simple Living!  Proofreading and making sure everything is just right is somehow a lot of responsibility, yet at the same time, it’s like creating a masterpiece that you are so proud of and can’t wait to share.

I guess it’s what I have been teaching all along within the Keep It Simple Now principles – which is, everything is a process – it takes time to go through each phase and step – and through it, you learn something more about yourself – maybe sometimes, you might even find inner strength that you never thought possible.

Here is what I do know…the end result, the final product, well, that’s simply amazing.  Whether it’s writing a book, getting your house in order, developing your business, or conquering a project, it’s an accomplishment that started out as a thought – turned into a vision – and then into your very own creation.  How awesome is that!
