You will find that my thoughts and organizing ideas that we will share, apply to every job or activity. There are always People, Paper (hard-copy & especially electronic), and Things that interfere with what we have to get done. There is definitely a connection between STRESS and the Mess (physical & spiritual)!!!

The one thing that really bothers me is plastic containers. Although they are a necessity, they always look cluttered in the cabinet. The first thing that I would suggest is that you go through all your plastic containers and match them with the lid. If you can’t find the lid, then throw it away.

August is the 8th month and in biblical terms, the number 8 means “new beginnings”, in the year 2012, the Year of Order.

August has always been a month of significant events for me. August 4th was the 14th anniversary of the death of my father, which is usually just a passing thought. For some reason, the thoughts of my dad lingered a little longer than usual this year. My father raised me as a first son (which also has strong biblical implications, but I’ve digressed). He was very strict and a strong disciplinarian with me, but not with my sister (another story for another time). So needless to say, my dad and I were not the best of friends. But I loved him and late in my adult life, I realized that he loved me too. August 7th would have been his 78th birthday.
On a lighter note, August 9th was my parents’ wedding anniversary, the 12th is my mother’s birthday, the 14th is my youngest daughter’s birthday and the 16th is my husband’s birthday. WOW!!!!!! But this year, there is one more significant event for me, August 10th is my official, official last day with Xerox (10 days shy of my 33rd anniversary). August 11 is my New Beginning!!!!! I have had eight (8) months of trial run with my new business. During this time, God has continued to show me that He has a purpose for “Order Your Steps“ and He will prosper it, if I trust Him and not rely on my own understanding… Proverbs 3:5-6. When God has purposed something for us, but we are not too sure if we want to do it, remember He knows what is best for us and eventually, it is going to happen.
I have transitioned into the next phase of my life. Order and discipline are not new concepts for me, but God is taking me to a whole new level. What about you? Are you ready to make a change? With Change comes Challenges, but anything worth having does…
August can be your “New Beginning”!

TODAY…
ELEVATE Your Mind For Three Minutes,
FOCUS on those Things that will take you …
Beyond where you are Today!
First I want to thank everyone who took time to comment on my blog post entitled “What would an Organized Life look like to you”? I also hope that everyone took time to read the comments, they had an interesting insight and perspective on “Order” or lack thereof in their lives. I reblogged this post for to give you my perspective and we will tie it ALL together next week…. Enjoy!
** I welcome your comments.
The Lord reminded me of this today, so I thought that I’d remind you. Sorry it is so late.
These definitions are so funny, yet so accurate! LOL 🙂
Here is a funny excerpt from Sandra Felton and Marsha Sim’s brand new book, SMART OFFICE ORGANIZING
…more Diagnoses by the D.O.(Doctor of Organization) Chapter 3, “Not Brain Surgery…but close”
Decisionalysis. Paralysis of the decision-making ability of an individual.
Clutterholic. Compulsively creates chaos in well- ordered areas.
Shelf Denial. Avoidance of acquiring enough shelving to hold the necessary equipment, resulting in the use of floor space as one large flat shelf.
Distractophelia. Condition of repeatedly losing focus in the middle of a thought or action, resulting in a trail of started-but-unfinished activities.
“Creating and maintaining an office that both looks good and works well definitely isn’t as difficult as performing brain surgery. But for many of us who
seem to have come up short in the distribution of organizing genes, it feels like it is.”
I thought these definitions were quite entertaining and I wanted to share them with you…

Give away what you do not need.
Unclutter your life, both without
and within, making space to grow.
Most of what we have, we do not
need. Live with only the essentials,
being grateful that you have so much.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Please read and take it to heart!
I have not always been organized, not by a long shot, tho ever since I started being organized, the benefits are SO significantly beneficial and obvious, I’ve been inspired to be that much more organized… and now my hope is to inspire & help others rid their life of un-wanted, un-used and un-loved STUFF. Just imagine being surrounded ONLY by things that are positive representations of love. Although the process of “purging” (going through things and deciphering what is to stay and what is to go) can definitely be overwhelming… moving beyond the stuff to lead a lighter and happier life is a feat worth taking on. As I’ve said in a previous post, allow your energy or initial instinctual reaction to each item guide your decision making. Here are a few motivating examples of side effects your hard work will be rewarded by: less stress, more energy & better…
