Organize My Life

airplane wing Who loves to travel?

I love to travel. No matter what the reason, I absolutely LOVE to travel. I get so excited at the opportunity to see new places. If I could afford to travel more, I would be booking trips every month….or every week! I get excited just thinking about our next vacation.

The excitement can turn into anxiety pretty quickly for me. I am notorious for over-packing. Weekend trip, you say? Well, I will pack enough for a week. The ‘what ifs’ are what get me.

What if the weather forecast is wrong?

Peace – that is what we all want. We just want to find some peace in the midst of all of this chaos. Everything is busy, busy, busy with so many things that must be done and places that must be seen and kids that must be taken places. Oh how I long for just a moment of peace.

Could it be that organization might bring about some of that peace that I long for? I do believe this to be true and the reason is that I have found that to be the case. As I am working on bringing true organization and systems into ALL areas of my life, I am finding some peace there.

That is the purpose here – to walk this journey together. As I find tips that will help, I will share them here. There is so much more to peace than just organization, but it is a great place to start!
