"Minds are like parachutes - They only function when open."
Thomas Dewar

I really like this quote because it helps me to keep my parachute mind wide open all the time. I just know that there is so much information that I do not know, but want to soak up, that is out there in great books, cyberspace, and through interesting people I may meet. I don't want to miss a thing! My biggest hurdle seems to be the limited hours in each day to learn it all, see it all and do it all.

Here are a couple of new items I learned about from the blogosphere recently:

The first is a great book called A Whole New Mind by Daniel H. Pink. Mr. Pink has a theory about why the Right-Brainers will rule the future. As a right-brainer - I like how he thinks! He also has some great exercises to expand your right brain if you tend to be more left-brained.

My second new find is a blog site called Bootstrapper
This is a small business resource with lists of resources and articles about every aspect of starting and running a small business. I think a lot of the organizing information applies to homes and home offices that are not necessarily a business.

Running a home IS like running a business. You have inventory in and inventory out ( food, clothing & belongings ) that needs to be tracked. Money (income) coming in and then allocated to expenses going out. The space where all this takes place ( your home ) needs to be efficient, comfortable and maintained for all of the business of LIFE to work smoothly. So, even if you do not have a specific small business that you run from your home, don't disregard the small business information and articles, because you may be missing out on some great gems of wisdom for running your household.

Remember to keep your parachute open!

Until next time,
