My old office and new office pictures (not quite before and after)


This was my former office. For some reason I didn't think to take a before picture of my new office until the first coat of paint was on the walls. However, the color matched this one. It's sort of a pinkish-mauve color in my opinion, but all the men seem to think it's a brownish color - so I now call it taupe. Let's just say it wasn't my favorite color and I think being in an office you love is an important part of maximizing your productivity. (By the way, this is my new co-workers office now, though he's already making his own changes to it. I took this picture after I had moved all of my things out and before he moved in.)



And Ta-Da... my new office after we painted and hung pictures.
 I'm thinking I will eventually replace that gold framed mirror with one I like better or maybe I'll paint it black. 


Now my office is almost double the size of what you can see in these pictures - but the other side currently has some boxes and things that are being picked up this week. I also haven't decided what I'm going to hang on the wall on that side. And... there's a closet/cubby hole that we opted to put curtains over, rather than try to get the file cabinet (same size as the file cabinet you can see above) out of there to paint. So there is still some work to be done, but the main part is done and my office is once again functional. I'm very thankful to my husband for all of his hard work this weekend! I couldn't have gotten everything done without him!

Having an office I love makes me feel fantastic & I think the colors I picked worked perfectly. Feng Shui experts says that white and cream colors are excellent colors for your office because they represent the metal element which supports mental clarity. I also read somewhere that the color blue helps your creativity. With that being said, both of those elements should help me with my 2016 year of organization.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my office. I'd love to hear your feedback and see pictures of your office as well.

It's really ok to take a break

Sometimes when you're not motivated it's because your literraly burnt out. And that's ok. When you've been doing too much for too long, it's ok to take a break. However, before you start that break, write down some of the things you're going to do after the break.. This helps to keep the things you want to do at the top of your mind without feeling guilty that you're taking a break. So what do I mean by taking a break? It can be ... in any form you desire and/or can afford. We'd all love our break to be a long vacation to someplace we really want to go, but it can be as simple as taking a walk or even spending an entire weekend binge-watching your favorite shows. Just make sure it's a plan and that you know when you've had you're break, you're going to start on that "thing" you've been putting off. MW Copyright 2017

Re-evaluating Social Media in my life

What is the purpose of social media in your life? This is the question I've been pondering for a while now. What do each of these outlets bring to me, give to me, or help me with? Facebook Twitter Instagram Snap Chat Pinterest  LinkedIn Alignable  So many people say they're using social media for their business, while others say you have to be using social media for your business. I believe that's true in some businesses - especially if you're selling a product like t shirts, jewelry, weight loss plans, or other tangible items. But, I'm not sure which really help in the service and intangible industries. With that said, I'm an insurance agent. I sell a piece of paper that gives you piece of mind and aggravation because you are obligated to buy it. Is anyone really interested in reading blogs or articles about insurance? Even insurance humor is mainly funny to insurance people. So where does that leave me with my posts? I have used it in a mostly pers...
