This is an excerpt from an email that I sent to Danni, who had kindly inquired as to where I was at with a situation I wanted to sort out (I was unable, for reasons beyond my control, to resolve it at this particular moment). Just to let you know where I'm at with my New Year's life-tackle/sort out.
"I ordered a book called How to Be a Financial Goddess online today, because I’m tired of feeling completely foreign to the world of my finances. I’m going to spend a bit of time formulating my life plan, etc and I’m determined to get my ducks in a row (starting with a trip to IKEA tonight to get the necessary screws to fix my futon, some tea canisters and maybe a little shelf to put beside my bed in the little room). Somehow that all correlated in my mind, but the connection seems to have been lost. Oh yes. I am becoming a calm, sophisticated and competent individual and all of this will come together at some point. There was a book called Organizing for Dummies and it talked a lot about decluttering. My next step will be to tackle the drawers in my bedroom into which I dumped all the crap that used to be stored in that box in my room I no longer have space for. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, and I’m trying to improve on both. I’m learning!
I had a cross-the-desk mini-counselling session with Fiona today, and she advised me that I need to sit down, figure out where I want to be, and the things that I need to have happen to get there. I think she’s very right. What format do you suggest? A nice flow chart?
I also want to update my CD collection. Not only do I want to be a Financial Goddess, but I want to be hip wi’ it as well."
And that, my friends, is where I'm at...
