Get Organized in 2016!

Happy New Year! This is the time of year that we begin to reflect on the past year and plan for the new year ahead. What are your goals for the new year? Some of the most popular include eating less and exercising more, getting organized, spending less and saving more, and enjoying life more.

The sad truth is that most news year's resolutions are forgotten before January is over. However, this year, we want to help you accomplish all of your goals. That's why we invite you to join us in the Simplify Challenge, a 40 day detox program to rid your life of excess clutter so that you can spend more time living life to the fullest. As with any challenge, this will not be easy, but we promise to provide you with the tools and support to be successful.

 We are kicking off our Simplify Challenge by hosting a day of workshops on Saturday, January 9, 2016, from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM at the Redlands Community Senior Center. At the workshop, you will learn how to simplify your surroundings, paperwork, finances, and schedule so that you can find time for what matters most to you. We will take breaks to discuss our struggles and learn how to overcome them, as well as to enjoy a healthy lunch that will empower us to continue on with the day of learning. Support from our fabulous team of organizers will be offered at discounted rates to participants to ensure you don't go home and lose momentum. We will also be providing 40 days of support through email and social media.

Tragedy in San Bernardino

The tragedy this week hit close to home for all of us, but for those of us only a few miles away it has really hit hard. Most of know of someone who was affected, whether it be someone who worked in the building, some of the brave police force who went in to help the people left in the building to safety, or maybe even those who lost their life in the tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them.

It's at times like this that we realize the value of life. In the midst of all of our hussle and bussle to get ready for the holidays, we pause and are grateful for our family and friends. Our focus shifts and we realize that life is short and all of the stuff we accumulate doesn't really bring meaning to our life, but it's the people who do.

In the wake of this tragedy, do not allow yourself to fear but to focus on what is really important in your life. Are their unfulfilled dreams you have? Set goals to reach them.. Are there people you wish to mend relationships with? Be the one to take the first step to reconcile. When you begin to feel bad about your life, go and help someone less fortunate. Investing in others brings more joy than any gift ever will.

Life is short and there is no need to spend it accumulating stuff that adds to our frustration, but spend it with people who inspire and encourage us.
