Clearing a Path

The woman is busy. A wife, mother, and educator working in several schools, she says that she’s disorganized. No, it’s more that she doesn’t have enough time. In our most recent session, on a gorgeous spring Saturday morning when we should have been outside playing, she, her husband and I tackled part of their basement home office challenge. The morning’s task – to clear a path to the filing cabinet, so she actually can use it. We stuffed some papers into it. (Hmmm…pretty full. An upcoming summer project for her – purging papers no longer needed.) We spoke about new categories of files, to help her in her work. We put other items that she’ll use for crafts projects in the opposite corner of the room.
