First of all I want to apologize for my English, because it's not my mother tongue. Anyway, I enjoy your tips that I receive in my inbox, especially the tip from this week (get rid of all those petty annonyances). I found this a rather stupid idea. But after a few weeks, I decided to do it anyway. The things that annoyed me the most were: the fact that my boyfriend and I still do not live together even after being a couple for several years; the renovation of our house that doesn't go fast enough; little irritations of still living with my parents; seeing my friend having good jobs and earning a lot more money than I with my freelance copywriting and journalism...

So I decided to make the list and to do something about my look by going to a style & colour specialist (another of your tips!). I feel more comfortable in 'my' colours and I begin to attract more paying clients for my copywriting.

And the most important change: since a few weeks I'm pregnant! All of a sudden my boyfriend realizes that it would be much better marrying and living together - even if our house is not ready.  The little annoyances disappear little by little. I don't know if it has something to do with the list, but I think it was helpfull to see some things in perspective. What also helped to see things more clear is to write in a diary. It is very therapeutic.
