It's update time

10 February 2009

Here are a few little updates to past blogs posts.

Just this past Friday, I blogged about my Butler Bag. I’m still loving it. Thanks to a tip from Sharon Lowenheim on the NAPO members-only email list, I went to the Container Store and purchased two clear Almac boxes, which are the perfect size to hold my lipsticks and lipgloss securely in the Butler Bag. (I bought one 89-cent box and one 69-cent box.) Ah, heaven. I’m dashing this morning, so no photo.

I’ve blogged a couple of time about Playing for Change, the wonderful project that films musicians all over the world playing the same song and melds it into fabulous international music videos. You can now purchase Playing for Change videos on iTunes. Right now, there’s a single two-song “album” available for $2.49. (The songs are Stand By Me and Let’s Don’t Worry.) They’re great to watch, they’re great to listen to. If you go to the iTunes Store and search on Playing for Change, click on the one that says Stand By Me.

A quick update on my 2009 goal of keeping my bureau top clear, rather than dumping worn clothes on it when I get undressed at night. I’m continually amazed at the power of my putting my intention behind this and the power of Don’t Break the Chain. I started this on January 5 and in that time, there have been two nights when I didn’t put away my clothes and both those were because my husband went to sleep before me and I didn’t want to wake him up by opening the sliding doors on our closet. One night I was especially tired and while I was brushing my teeth I gave myself permission to just fold clothes and leave them on the bureau top until morning. But when it came time to do that, I took the extra 60 seconds or so to put away the clothes. The result is I wake to calmer space, I’m not digging through semi-clean clothes to find things to wear, and I’m proud of myself to boot! Within a couple of months I hope it becomes a habit.
