Last week I was walking through Trader Joe’s when I stopped in my tracks upon sight of an exotic, elusive ingredient - freeze dried raspberries.  "Huh", I thought, "I know I’ve been wanting to find these, but for the life of me I can’t remember why." 

To make a long story short, due to an HVAC install gone bad, we came home one night to a torrential downpour in our downstairs bedroom. The rug and hardwood were under an inch of water and it was rising fast. Thanks to Evernote, I was able to search “Rock Creek Gardens Emergency” which brought up the very page of my community’s 90+ page PDF handbook that I keep in Evernote.

Last week my new client was giving me a tour of her home when she sheepishly shared that she and her husband sleep in separate bedrooms. I told her that Nic, my husband, and I do the same thing - and we’re practically newlyweds. She exclaimed - “Oh I feel SO much better!” This isn’t the first time I’ve had a near identical exchange. 

This week, Brand Strategist, friend & client, Melanie Spring and I chatted in her Kickass Humans Club Facebook page on all things Evernote for managing your content ideas, testimonials, "micro-bookkeeping" and so much more.

Every once in a while a quote or passage grabs me in a way that I know, if revisited often, it will actually change my actions.  This passage from Thomas Merton’s Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander was one of those.  Merton speaks to the heart of busyness and the real casualty thereof: our “work for peace.”
