Welcome to Our Blog!

Hello!

​If you’ve found your way to Simple Living Strategies, you may have come here looking to get a handle on areas in your home and schedule that feel overstuffed and overwhelmed: areas that don’t quite work for you due to the clutter and disarray. Or, maybe simplicity as a buzz word had gotten in your ear and has some vague appeal: life in the slow lane; scaling back from the busy-ness burden of modern life; having more time for creativity, family and ease. However you’ve come, welcome! We’re glad you’re here.
A perusal of the website will show you the services I offer, helping people redefine what’s personally fitting in their lifestyles and homes. Now, I'm excited to bring you the blog. I want to share not only the tips and encouragement to make positive changes in your own lives and homes, but something of the thoughts and feelings about life which lead me to become a professional organizer.  
Stay tuned for posts full of advice on particular projects, as well as those which touch on the challenges, benefits and rewards of making the conscious decision to get organized. I'm curious about our world and inspired by beautiful places and people doing honorable work in our communities. I'd love to share stories about events  around town, trips I take, and the good folks I meet along the way.

Here’ a bit of what to look for in the coming months:

• Tips, strategies, and ideas on the nuts-n-bolts of tackling certain organizing and home lifestyle projects, as well as encouragement for getting into the mindset to start and follow through to the rewarding end.
• Book reviews of recent reads. In the line up are books on home organization, simple living, habit changes, consumerism, environment and other subjects relating to simplicity and practicality.
• A “Who’s Doing What” and “Finding the Good” series’, highlighting admirable work in our communities and reflect on the goodness and beauty to be found right where we are.   

       
Do you have a story, project, or event to share? Get in touch! I hope you’ll check in, read, leave your thoughts, and share your own wisdom and questions.
