Strong! - California Film Institute

Strong! - California Film Institute
This is a beautifully crafted documentary about a big beautiful weightlifter. Cheryl Haworth is the strongest woman in the US. The film follows her as she prepares to compete in the 2008 Bejing Olympics. She is funny, charming, charismatic and totally motivational. Julie Wyman should get an Oscar for best documentary for this.

Solutions for the Critical Mess

I see organizing as the essential first step in creating a simpler life. Our lifestyle in the "00's" seems to be spinning increasingly out of control. We collect more and more things, do more and more things, and have virtual access to everything. Some call it "The Age of Overwhelm." Organizing is grounding, reels us in and causes us to rethink our priorities.

Our physical spaces, mental spaces and calendars have indeed reached critical mass. Going through our items, calendars and choices and consciously rethinking our relationship with them is essential to putting an end to personal chaos. This is the essence of my work.

If even one of my blog postings helps you create a simpler, more organized state of being for yourself, know that I am honored to have been of service. I look forward to hearing from you.
