Give 'em the Boot

I love shoes-it's just who I am (and I make no apologies :). Sadly, sometimes a fav pair suffers a little damage for the cause, but they're still in good condition otherwise, so I want to save them. Here are just a few pics to show a quick, CHEAP and changeable way to get a little longer wear. You can't keep a shoe fashionista down-even when you mess with her shoes!!

The boot before-just a little tear going on there.

 
Just a little secret-that's double stick tape!!

I keep it on hand always. By using this, I can easily remove and “redesign” anytime I want. I chose white for the contrast against the dark boot and the lace, but you could easily change the color simply by using a marker.

Ta da!! A cute boot, with black lace.

The full view and ready to go!!

Good Thing??

Too much of a good thing can be bad; too little of a great thing even worse; have to find a happy middle.

The Path

My clients often tell me that they're unsure of the path they took that lead to their current state of disorganization. Just as important as knowing what path you took that lead to your current state of disorganization, is focusing on the path that will lead (and keep) you out of it for the long term.

Verbal Sunshine

You know I love "liquid sunshine", but a newbie is here-"A compliment is verbal sunshine."

Dr. King

Today we celebrate the birthday of a historic figure, Dr. Martin Luther King. We are a country that has celebrated great change, so let's not stop now!! Take the time to remember Dr. King's dream and also make the world a much better place than it was last year at this time. Dream on-still!!

Excuse??

What excuse, if any, would you use if an unexpected guest asked for a tour of your home and it wasn't in the “shape” you'd like?

Unacceptable

Teach our girls and boys that they are too precious to be beaten up or broken down by anyone!!

About Me

My photo
Washington, DC, United States
I am Dr. Darnita L. Payden, Executive Director/Owner of Dr. DClutter™ Life Management, a division of PreciousOnes™ LLC. I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and over 20 years of experience working to help clients discover their strengths and talents. Having worked as a therapist, college professor, grief specialist and trainer, I have encountered in my journey many of the issues my clients may face. I have a sincere desire to help you find clarity, organization and independence in your life and environments. I know that life can be hectic, but I desire to help my clients bring as much order, peace and enjoyment back into their lives as is possible. What separates me from the norm? I focus on the client from a holistic perspective. I realize that most people desire a functional and an organized life, but may simply need support, understanding and information about why they have the habits or tendencies that have led to disorganization. I do not perform “quick fixes” or provide “one-size-fits-all” guidance, but I strive to provide strategies to my clients that will be life changing and useful for a lifetime. Dr. DClutter™ is a name well earned!!
