Get Clear and Go Green!

Getting rid of stuff that no longer serves a purpose is only one part of having a clear place. Another, equally important part, is being mindful about your purchases. I love finding fun and useful items that are eco friendly and multi-purpose. A few weeks ago, I discovered a place that is clearly a wonderful resource for just those kinds of things! In Corvalis, Oregon … who knew?

Dish Dumpling scrubbies made with agave twine, cleaning cloths woven with wood fiber, pure soy candles, clay colors for wall paint, barn wood furniture and SO much more.  Eco friendly and friendly folks – my favorite combination.  Read more about the Earth Smart Store here.

Oprah Gets Clear

 Letting go of stuff is certainly a hot topic.  From coast to coast people are starting to catch the wave of clearing out.  It’s not a new message – just one that is timely and appropriate in today’s economy.  We all have more stuff than we know what to do with and when our possessions start to dictate where and how we live … something’s gotta give.  When I talk to women who are dealing with financial challenges, depression and/or relationship issues; it’s not surprising to find that their home environment is less than nurturing. Stagnant energy caused by too much clutter, worn upholstery, stained carpets, crammed closets and overflowing cabinets all contribute to loss of self and ill-health.  It’s an impossible task to feel positive and uplifted when your surroundings are weighing you down at the office or at home. 

Take a look around your space today and spend some time visualizing what you would like to see in its place.  Start with a drawer or a bookcase and start purging. If you are one of the lucky ones who already has a perfect place, why not offer to help a friend or neighbor get their space cleared up?  It’s amazing how we can lighten the load and brighten the world with simple steps.  Overwhelmed and need some help?  ACP is here to help.  Contact your local STUFF-ication expert today!

Lunch and Learn

 Karen Wehrman introduces guest speaker, Jane Green, at Friday’s Lunch & Learn.  It was a great turnout and the room was filled with easy mingling and happy munching. Everyone enjoyed the “STUFF-ication” presentation and left with lots of ideas and tips on how to lighten their life and their space. 

Lunch & Learn is held every Friday at Old Wives Tales in SE PDX.  It’s a great way to connect with a diverse group of people.  You’ll meet realtors, coaches, writers, health practitioners, CPA’s, shop owners, sales reps, and more.  RSVP’s are required but there’s no fee to attend – and you don’t have to be an entrepreneur – just bring your desire to meet and learn.  Each week features a different topic.  For more information on attending contact Karen.  To book your own STUFF-ication presentation contact Jane.
