Robbing (Fiscally Responsible) Peter to Pay ("A Day Late, A Dollar Short") Paul

The California legislature and governor have presented a new budget. . . one that "borrows" money from local government and special districts to pay bills at the state level. Hmm. . . I think we voted this option down in a special election just a few months ago. At least, I THOUGHT that's what the ballot read.

For Those of Us Who Are Clutter-Challenged. . .

Organizing for Life: Declutter Your Mind to Declutter Your World Organizing for Life: Declutter Your Mind to Declutter Your World by Sandra Felton


My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is a heavy-duty read. It's not about how to organize your house: It's about why many of us have difficulty doing so. A thought-provoking and sometimes disturbing read, it addresses issues such as self-esteem, alcoholic parents, attention deficit, etc., etc. Author Felton doesn't condemn; rather, she offers hope and concrete suggestions for the perennially disorganized and clutter-challenged.
