With out fears and buts, I would get my house organized and tidy, and lose weight.

Wonderful post once again, Laura! Thank you! And thank you for the link to the millionairemommynextdoor blog, too! I loved it!

I have a suggestion for those of you who let clean laundry pile up in the hamper. I was so prone to do that until I started just putting away one thing any time I past that hamper and usually I would keep going until it was all done BUT I only said that I had to pick up one item and deal with it. That system also works for mail, dishes, whatever. Clumps of cat hair on the floor you name it just handle one item.

You have no idea how much I can relate to both of your posts. I am always the person someone goes to to get advice.

Thanks, Laura, for referring to my “big but” post! I had a blast putting this one together.

Let’s see, today I need to eliminate this “but” — I need to tackle a big pile of paperwork BUT it bores me silly and I want to procrastinate. So, without this BUT, I could enjoy serene peace of mind knowing that it’s done. Hmmm. Would it be called procrastination if I spend some time surfing your site for organizational inspiration and advice first?? ;>)

This was so good Laura! If I had the courage I would go back to school and get a degree. In what, I have no idea but that’s what I would do.

OK, this sounds totally random, but if we’re being honest…

I wish I had the courage to stop color-treating my hair.

I know, sounds silly, but in my devotionals, I’ve been feeling pulled to focus less on my appearance. Not as in taking fewer showers or anything, Lord knows that would be a disaster, but just focusing on letting my inner self define pretty.

Keeping up with my devotionals has made a big difference in my life, and I feel prettier on the inside lately. SO, I guess that’s why I’m feeling this way. But to have the courage to stop color-treating my hair, well, that would take a great deal of courage.

Not there yet.
