If there is one thing many of us have in common, it is that we are super busy. Life doesn’t stop and neither do we to simply take a breath. I’m writing this blog but I have so many other things to do right now. I’m in the process of starting a publishing company, a jewelry line, writing a new book and going back to school. Whew, I ‘m tired just thinking about it all. But as much as I need to be working on my daily goals, tasks and projects, I know that I must take a moment to connect.

For me it has become my first appointment of the day to have some quiet time. I get up a few minutes before I wake up my son and I connect to The Source. Sometimes after I drop him off at school, I will drive by the lake for a quiet connecting moment. Why connect? Because our lives can be all over the place, fragmented. And we must make the time to integrate and become whole again. I can be a better me when I’m whole. I can give more, do more and be present for my loved ones when I  am integrated.

We owe it to ourselves. It’s actually a matter of sanity and remaining conscious. So steal away for a moment. Take some time, make some time and connect…even if it’s in a rest room stall.

Well as you can see I haven’t been tracking my organizational journey lately. But through this quest to becoming more organized, I have learned so much about myself. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that I am a hoarder. I keep everything …from my son’s school work to thank you notes from years ago.

It’s so hard to part with many of my things. So I decided to get some more help. I took the advice of many of my friends and I got myself an assistant. Her name is Whitney and she is helping me get on track and stay on track. She is a God send. I tried doing this on my own, but quickly discovered I needed someone to keep me accountable and give me the eye every now and then to let me know that my hotmessness is out of control.

Now I can breathe. With her help I have felt more productive, more clear and more creative. So while the actual 30 days are up, I feel as though I am beginning afresh and anew.  With school starting back up for me and my new business ventures beginning, as well as the many other things I’m doing, it couldn’t have happened at a better time. Ms. Whitney has her work cut out for her. But with her help and God’s grace, I know my life will be in order.  #TheJourneyContinues
