There is no greater satisfaction for a just and well-meaning person than the knowledge that he has devoted his best energies to the service of the good cause." Everything is Energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want, and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.'' Albert Einstein''
For as long as I can remember, I've struggled with clutter. Since my arrival in America with nothing but 2 suitcases, I began buying things to fill the void I felt inside. This accumulation, which I refer to as "clutter compound interest," started as a means of comfort but quickly turned into a source of chaos in my life. To quote one of my favorite Jewish scientists Albert Einstein who said that “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn't ... pays it.”
It wasn't until I restarted my journaling journey that I realized the true extent of my clutter. Journaling provided me with a glimpse into my feelings and also highlighted the spaces that needed attention. It was a wake-up call, a moment of clarity that pushed me to start decluttering both my physical space and my mind.
One day I met Julie. I was simply determined to get to know her, because she seemed very unique, attractive and confident. We started chatting, and our conversation naturally drifted towards books, productivity, and design. Julie revealed that she is a designer and an author, and I was immediately intrigued. I asked her if she would be interested in speaking at one of my events, and to my delight, she agreed. Julie Ann Segal, has owned and operated a professional Interior Design firm for 30 years. She is also a certified Feng Shui consultant, has appeared multiple times on HGTV and has become the local "go to" person for creating beautiful and functional spaces. She has helped 100's of people just like you make specific life enhancing changes to their homes. But more important than that is, as a mother of four, she's been able to use these principles in her own home.

We were graced with a beautiful rainbow at the end of our event, a special gift that reminds us of the great Artist above.
Julie and I were talking about how we haven’t seen many hummingbirds in Minnesota this year, and she mentioned that her colleagues had noticed the same thing. Later, almost as if it was meant to be, I gave her a thank you card I made with one of my own photographs, featuring a beautiful hummingbird, adding a touch of poignant significance.
