Welcome to the blog of change


Today is the start of my blog. I wanted to write a blog to share some ideas on how to make changes in our lives. In my profession of organizing, I meet a lot of people who want to make changes or try to make changes and are either afraid or don't know where to start. We all feel that way from time to time, right?

I want to share my experiences of change. Maybe you will see something here you can relate to or maybe you have suggestions that you use that we can all use. Sometimes we need all the help and support we can get and why not from people who are experiencing the same things? 

This year I plan on changing several things I currently do and introduce new things into my life. I am excited for the most part and nervous as well. Change can do that.

Some of my plans include getting more exercise, being greener, spending my time the way I want, and discovering balance in it all.

Change can be defined as the act or instance of making or becoming different. Don't get me wrong, I love things about myself that I will not be changing but I want to balance new things with the old. Balance is hard to achieve. Balance is to remain in a steady position without falling (which is sometimes how it feels) or even better, to establish equal or appropriate proportions of elements in such as balancing work and family.

I am hoping this will be a wild ride. I look forward to meeting you along the way.

This is really great, Allison. I am right there with you. We have a 2 1/2 year old as you know and we only throw out one bag of garbage in a week. I am your sister soul mate when it comes to not shopping when you don't need to. I found a salon called "Transitions", it's on Grantham Ave, and they sell hair spray that is made from sugar. It works great, is not bad at all for the environment or my health and has NO SCENT. That is huge for me. It is called Suncoat and has solved another one of my hair product delimas. I really was missing hair spray.
Your friend Erin (King)
Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Erin. I love the hairspray tip. I have a hard time using hairspray with scent so this sounds like it will be good for me to use.
Please keep sharing your ideas and finds...
