"Several months ago I put a big yellow sticky note on one ofmy kitchen cabinets. I had a single question on it: 'How can I make my life
simpler?'
I put it there to focus my attention on that one thoughtbecause life was getting much too complicated. There's so much input thesedays--glorious when you want it, a nightmare when you don't.
Every time I went into the kitchen and looked at the note, mybrain went searching for an answer. But just as quickly, there would be
something that needed my attention and off I went.
And then--like a wonder ofwonders--Michael and Dawn Angier invite me to review Michael's latest book 101 Great Ideas to SimplifyYour Life. After I stopped laughing atthe odd coincidence, I simply approached Michael's work with gratitude. He'swritten a book that fits perfectly into my life right now-- and yours--if you'rea busy professional like me. I can read any one page and get a solution I canuse to lighten up my life.
I simply say 'Thank you,thank you' to all the wonderful people who contributed to Michael's newbook--and to Michael--for writing such a meaningful piece of work. Thanks forgiving me a very handy tool, just at the right time.
