One of the problem as a Parent and an employee I have is email clutter. Many people think of clutter as in house clutter, but computer email can be a big clutter that can take up so much time and stress. Once during my brother’s marriage, I did not check my office email for 1.5 weeks time, when I got back I had 343 emails waiting in that short time. I was so behind in emails and was stressing out as I was behind work too. Personal emails can be as bad, specially as spammers seem to find my email… Continue reading

One of the things that gives me most peace is have a clean, simple home. When I wake up in the morning and walk out into a living room that has been decluttered, that has a minimalist look, and there isn’t junk lying around, there is a calm and joy that enters my heart.
When, on the other hand, I walk out into a living room cluttered with toys and books and extra things all over the place, it is chaos and my mind is frenetic. I’ve been a simplifier and a declutterer for years now (probably 8-9 years) and… Continue reading
For a long time, I wanted to lose weight. I know now that that’s a mistake. Weight is only one factor — lean muscle mass, body fat percentage, hip to waist ratio, etc. are all just as important.
After that, I wanted to get six-pack abs. That’s also a dumb goal. First of all, most people are not genetically programmed to have those kinds of abs. Second, even the supermodels and male models that have six-packs don’t have them all the time. Usually they have a little fat, and then burn it off in the weeks before a photo shoot.… Continue reading

This past Christmas season, I wanted to get my kids into the real spirit of Christmas, so we looked for opportunities to volunteer or donate to good causes last month. We enjoyed it so much that we want to continue it year round. It’s a great feeling to do something good.
We’ve participated in the Angel Tree program, each of our children buying gifts for a child whose parents are in prison. That was a lot of fun. We also donated used toys in good condition that the kids don’t play with anymore to the Salvation Army thrift… Continue reading
