This morning my desk was sort of a mess. I was working on 17 different projects over the weekend and had spread them all out on my desk. I started to feel despair but then I remembered your advice and put all of my projects away before beginning a demo painting for my online class. In moments my desk was clear, I was shocked and amazed! I am capable of averting a major desk mess. This might be the biggest accomplishment of my adult life besides marriage, a daughter and learning to straighten my hair with a flat iron.
