organization …

wow! sounds like from your comments that you loved the book, the help too! it is getting a lot of buzz!

anyhow, last night i started the next book on my list, the happiness project.

i’ll post more about the book when i write up my review after i’ve finished, but i was intrigued by the first chapter and i have already gotten to work.

the first chapter is on organizing and de-cluttering your life. it completely makes sense that you feel a lot more at ease when you feel organized, and all is picked up.

so, wish me luck as i tackle my master bedroom closet today. i have a million other organization/de-cluttering projects. but, i’m going to take a deep breath and tackle one at a time, as to not completely overwhelm myself.

on that note, here’s a few pretty pictures to enjoy, and maybe even motivate you!

book review: the help …

i just finished reading the book, the help, by kathryn stockett. it is tells the story of three women in jackson mississippi in the 1960’s during the civil rights movement. two of the women are black maids for white families, and the other woman is a white recent college graduate who wants to tell the story of black woman working for white families in jackson, which at the time is very controversial and dangerous.i really loved this book. i couldn’t put it down. i think the author did an amazing job at developing each of the characters. and, at times, i swear i could feel the heat of a mississippi summer along with them. this book really makes you think about how your actions affect others. anyhow, i’d highly recommend it!
