Cut Clutter, Get Organized

If you’re constantly struggling with getting and staying organized, you’re in luck. Certified Professional Organizer, Amara Willey and Certified HypnoCounselor, Susan Lembo are presenting a workshop about cutting clutter on Thursday, May 10 at 7 pm in Clinton. This transformative workshop not only provides tips and techniques for being more organized, it addresses the underlying causes that are preventing you from lasting organization.

Willey will teach participants the nine habits of the reasonably organized person. With her decades of experience helping people to achieve organizing sustainability, she has unique ideas for organizing that you won’t find in a book. In addition, people will receive a hypnosis session with Lembo. The hypnosis technique that she uses assists participants in breaking through old stuck patterns that prevent them from becoming organized. Hypnotherapy uses repeated phrases and mental imagery to connect with theta-state brainwaves and increase the brain’s focus.

Willey explains, “The combination of practical, hands-on techniques and brain reprogramming has given participants in past workshops new hope. People leave feeling motivated and rejuvenated.”

Cost:  $59. For more information, call 908-868-4311. To register visit CutClutterClass.EventBrite.com. 

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
