As I've been thinking about how to get there, that is to say, where my life needs to go, I realized the clutter in my life is a stumbling block for me-mentally and physically. The crazy closet was causing me to overbuy when I could not see that I had toothpaste in there still. I can not get past the mess in my office to get it painted (or to even walk in really). You get the idea.
My office is the worst in the house (a close second is my own bedroom). It became the dumping ground for everything I brought in the house that had no where to go. Not good.
The linen closet was my first attempt in this journey. I just wish I could find the picture (OK, organizing digital photos is now on my list) so instead, I will post the "before" humiliating picture of my home office pre-organizing. The "after" is in progress and I will post it soon.
Here is the before (no judgement, please!).
Bring in the backhoe, as my dad would say. Come back and see how it is progressing. I hope to have this clean up completed before the end of the week and ready for painting post holidays. Let's see how it goes. Until then...

My inaugural post. No one will see it but me but at least I am moving forward with something I have been meaning to do for a year or more.
How did I get here? This is my chance to find out and figure out how I am going to get somewhere else. I've found myself in a (mostly) wonderful life as a single mom of two little girls (they are the wonderful part) but sadly seeing things I don't like...a home that is not the way I want it...secret piles of stuff (and not so secret if you visit me), big hips, wrinkles, unfinished projects, clutter, clutter and more clutter, a haircut that does nothing for me, and a general feeling I am not doing my best. I am not eating my best (now you know where the big hips come from) nor am I exercising. Sigh...If I can't don't to the best I can for myself, what kind of example can I be for my girls and just as importantly, HOW CAN I GET WHERE I WANT TO BE? I am going to try to find out and use this blog to keep track of my efforts, progress (or lack of progress), all in my journey to find out how I got here (or there) and how the hell am I going to get somewhere else! I hope someday someone will come along with me.
Jeez...how did I forget to mention...I'm missing a man. Not just any man and not a specific man, just the right one. The one that will be with me in spite of my lackluster hair, in spite of my messy office and is happy to be with me and the best part of my life.
