New Year's Resolution Inspirational Reading
Need some inspiration to make and keep those New Year's Resolutions.
Check out Give It up!: My Year of Learning to Live Better with Less by Mary Carlomagno.
Carlomagno, the founder of Order, a company that specializes in clutter control decided to elminate from her life each month one thing she could do without - her personal clutter? Alcohol, shopping, elevators, newspapers, cell phones, dining out, television, taxis, coffee, cursing, chocolate, and multi-tasking. Her year gave her new insight on peer pressure and allowed her to explore alternative and simpler emotionally-satisfying pursuits -going for walks, reading poetry, etc.
The book has received good reviews. Library Journal calls it 'inspirational and thought-provoking" and Publishers Weekly says the book makes for 'entertaining reading'.
Sounds like a good read for early January...and all of these things sound tough to give up to me.
