Information Clutter

Information Clutter

     I stopped watching the news when my boys were little.  It was depressing and not a full view of reality.  Bad news is designed to meet an agenda…. ratings and money.  As a parent, I knew my first job was to care for my own well-being.  How could share positive energy with my kids if I was bathing in fearful images? 

     What would happen if you stopped watching, reading or listening to the news?  How would you feel?  Do you need to get information in that  way?  Will something bad happen if you don't know what is happening beyond your sight every day?  Are you sure?  Do you need to be sure?  What are the consequences of watching negativity and violence?  Just for today, can you turn off the news, risk being "uninformed" and just experience your life?

2012

I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a new year and what feels like a new life. My life circumstances are about the same as they were ten years ago but I live in a different world. First and foremost the landscape of my mind has completely turned around. I continue to persue my work as an organizer but I am most excited by the opportunity to share the nitty gritty details of transformation! In a networking conversation this week I recalled how I have gotten over myself in so many ways. From disordered eater (40+ years!) to mindfully/healthfully/sanely eating. From messy and clueless to professional organizer. From perfection- minded to progress-satisfied individual. From being full of fear to being full of love.

My goals for 2012 are to continue my education in human behavior, improve my memory and write my story.

There is a saying..."Life gives the best students the biggest tests." This can warm your heart or it can piss you off. This life isn't a test, it is a game.  Play it well.
