A Couple of Things…

So always looking to learn more, do more and be more, this is what I’ve been up to:

Those who know me are aware of how I try to take good care of my physical well-being with exercise, good nutrition, yoga, meditation…Yet entering my “mid-life” phase has kept me stuck with a bit of that “mid-life-middle” or “muffin-top” as I’ve recently heard coined as a term (how lovely!). I’ve always believed in the concept of cleansing and detoxifying yet was nervous about trying anything. I’m not one to try diets and quick fixes, nor do I use supplements or medications. However, my hard work was not yeilding the results I wanted. Well, I finally tried a product called Isagenix (www.ignitus.isagenix.com) that left me feeling energetic and free of that bulge! It is considered a “nutritional” and is not intended for weight loss, it just happens to be a great fat-burning supplement to healthy eating. Check it out for yourself!

The next “new” thing in my life came from some inspiration from my daughter, Jacqui. She began to scrapbook her digital pics of friends, family and pets and began to rummage through all of my disorganized “stuff” to gather more! It drove me crazy to know that she was creating more of a challenge for me to remember what was where. It also served as a reminder that photos not displayed and memories not shared are of no value to anyone but a box, drawer or counter! So……….we’re scrapbooking together and it is so liberating and fun! There isn’t much this mom can do with her teenage daughter these days besides shopping and spectating events, this allows for great discussion and fused creativity! We’re bonding our hearts while bonding our pics (okay, that was lame, even I can see that!)

Here’s my inspiration, Jacqui:

Finally, had a great opportunity to speak at the Professional Organizers in Canada, Montreal Chapter,this morning (www.professionalorganizersincanada.com). What a dynamic group of people! I gave a brief workshop on applying coaching tools in their existing practice. Always fun to have enthusiastic exchanges with people who want to help others improve the quality of their lives!

I’m off to continue my scrapbook!
