I posted recently about a huge dip I’d been going through and received a ton of positive responses. Here, by email, on Facebook, Twitter… you get the picture. I was overwhelmed and strengthened by how kind people could be.
One of the good people out there runs the company that produces the agendas and calendars I’ve raved about in the past, so I thought I’d thank Joan of Busy Body Book and you here. I’m doing much better. Thank you.
As I’ve been climbing out of my dark spot I’ve used Joan’s agenda and calendar almost religiously (one bought, one gifted by Joan). I’ve been to get professional help, but I’ve also finally followed the Flylady program at my own pace (after many years of subscribing).
Many people I know have mentioned finding the volume of email from Flylady & Co. overwhelming. I don’t. I set up filters and just delete whatever I’m not interested in or ready to do (my own email 27 fling boogie — sorry for the fly-joke). I’ve been using my agendas in conjunction with the Flylady system and it is wonderful how much more in control I feel.
Joan had kindly offered a free calendar or agenda for one lucky reader here. All you have to do is leave a comment here with your email (which won’t be displayed) so I can contact you. I’ll pick a random winner for this giveaway on Friday at 5pm EST.
UPDATE! Our winner is Dorie P. — If I don’t hear back from her be next Friday at 5pm, I’ll pick another random winner. Thanks to all who entered! //vc.

I too find that anxiety and depression are often born of a sense of being overwhelmed, at a lack of control. Never thought to anchor myself with an organizer tool however! I’d probably buy it and find I’m not organized enough to use it and that’d be more proof of just how out of control I’d gotten :o) More power to you!

There is not one day that goes by that I do not wish had more hours in it, a tool to help me plan and manage all those things that need to get done would be a lovely holiday gift.
