New Lease on Life
July 31st, 2007We have had the most delightful time in Washington State. We went to the further most part on the Western coast of the United States at Cape Flattery. It was a beautiful, easy hike through the rain forest. There were gnarled old roots protruding from the mud, well placed circles in the trail hand made from large trees, beautiful flora and fauna everywhere. A light misty rain was falling which was such a lovely relief from the 102 degree weather we had come from.
It is the Makah Indian nation’s land. We were grateful to them for allowing us to walk through their forest. As we came out of the trees from the wooden board walk it was a stunning scene before us of rock out-croppings in the water, fog in the distance, the sound of birds and beautiful majesty.
At another lookout we admired the lighthouse out on an island, a rocky area in the water and birds swooping into caves. There were gorgeous orange and purple star fish far below us. A man came along who offered us the use of his binoculars. What a difference it made in what we saw. On the rock area were about 14 seals sunning themselves and we could see the nests of the birds entering the caves. The starfish took on shape and we saw so many more than with just our eyes.
By organizing our homes we can get a different perspective from someone else’s eyes, ideas and experience just as we did by looking through binoculars. Do you feel you need hope or a new lease on life by de-cluttering and organizing your home or office? As a professional home and office organizer that is what people tell me I do for them in their lives. What a great reward it is to be able to sort through and help others realize their goals so they can be more successful.
