Start Here

Do you have it all but instead of feeling Successful and ‘At Peace’ you’re just OVERWHELMED?

I know how you feel.

And, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Because there’s a way out.

How?

…By getting your Life Pared Down so you can achieve Inner Clarity, develop a Plan & Focus on what Matters Most

Who doesn’t want to be more Energetic, Motivated, Effective, and Focused and Less Distracted & Stressed?

Here’s what you can do to get started Now:

Step One – Take a good, honest Inventory of one area (clutter at home/in office, weight & overall health, career change, etc.) that needs fixing and write it down.

Step Two – Examine your Inventory.

Step Three – Do One Little Thing to adjust it.

As Third Century A.D. Roman Plotinus stated:

“Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not find yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful; he cuts away here, he smooths there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown upon his work. So do you also…Never cease chiseling your statue.“

My Story

‘Swimming’ in our ‘Pared Down’ pool during those very ‘Pared Down’ (short) summers!

Originally a New Yorker (the Upstate version), I grew up in an Irish-Italian, Catholic family and loved hanging out with my siblings, especially during those long, cold winters when we were all stuck indoors driving our poor mother crazy. I was always the most organized family member, and consequently, took it upon myself to help my siblings then as I assist busy people today.

Together, we’ll get you focused and cut out unnecessary stuff so you can pour your time, energy and talent into getting more done, thus leaving extra time for True Leisure: to Read, Think, Create and Cultivate a Beautiful (Pared Down) Life.

Author, speaker, organizing coach, former radio contributor, school teacher and administrator, I’ll use all my tools and experience to get you to be your best.

Love to hear from you! (Karen@karenjhornsby.com)

Yours,
