So… we’re all locked down, to various degrees, in a worldwide effort to help stop the spread of the novel COVID-19 Coronavirus. And everyone knows that this 2020 pandemic is the worst thing since the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. From Wikipedia: The Spanish flu was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic. Lasting from January 1918…
The Worry Matrix is a handy, printable tool that will help you decide what’s worth worrying about, and what isn’t. In my previous posts — Clearing Mental Clutter and Why Worry? Take Action! — I covered the following concepts: Worrying is just a form of mental clutter. Worrying is like praying for something you…
I think the key to being productive is to be comfortable and happy spending time in your office. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a corporate cubicle; a dedicated room at home with a door that closes; or another space you’ve carved out for yourself. If you love your office, great! Carry on.

George was my constant companion for 17-1/2 years. Social media friends got to see a lot of him. He had his own Pinterest board. And a Facebook photo album. He died in December from multiple health conditions (OK, I had him euthanized, ugh!), and I miss him terribly. I know many pet owners who can…
Please join me in celebrating 15 years of helping clients to declutter, simplify, organize, and refresh their homes, offices, schedules, and lives…and helping them discover their roots and tell their family stories, too!

I’ve never attended the Iowa State Fair. I gain weight just reading the 2019 Food On A Stick menu! But I did visit the fairgrounds a number of years ago on a genealogy research trip with my dad. Why?

AHA! I was RIGHT! Right about what, you ask? Right about where my Grandma Hankins was born (Villa Mae Lawrence Hankins 1904-1986). Where was Grandma born? I was lucky enough to have known her well. Sadly, though, I did not become interested in doing genealogy research until…
Can’t find your ancestor? Getting frustrated? We all hit a brick wall in our genealogy research now and then. Or, as we call them here in New Mexico, adobe walls, lol!
