The Life Organizer – Book Review
I have been a fan of Jennifer Louden’s since she published her first book. I have a special place on my bookshelf where I house my collection of Jennifer’s “comfort” books. So – it is my pleasure to introduce you Jennifer’s latest book – the newly released paperback edition of The Life Organizer – A Woman’s Guide To A Mindful Year.
If you are the kind of woman who loves to meditate, reflect upon, plan for, and journal about your life – The Life Organizer was designed with you in mind!
The Life Organizer teaches women an intuitive, creative approach to planning their lives. There are no rigid rules to follow – no elaborate programs to complete – no guilt-inducing must-do’s to overwhelm you.
Instead, there are tips, stories, and prompts that help you identify what you really want out of life – what you need to do to take good care of yourself – and what you need to do to live mindfully.
The Life Organizer helps you create a life that focuses your energies around the things you need to do to pursue your passions and dreams!
Jennifer’s Life Organizing process revolves around five unique but effective steps:
- Connect: Acknowledge and engage with your own life force.
- Feel: Tune into your heart, which knows what your next step is and gives you information your head cannot.
- Inquire: Ask mindful questions in order to discover possibilities you couldn’t see before.
- Allow: Open to your next step, allowing love, inspiration, and your body and heart to inform and direct you.
- Apply: Take action – the ultimate goal!
The heart of The Life Organizer is The Life Planner – which is designed to help you experience 52 weeks of mindful living. Each week consists of a two-page spread that will guide you through various aspects of your life. You’ll can write in the book – or you can create your own Life Planner using the tips Jennifer provides in the book!
The Life Organizer is filled with inspiring quotes, insightful questions, and intuitive strategies to help you get your life back on track when you feel you’ve lost your way.
If you’re looking for a more feminine, heart-based approach to life planning, then Jennifer is an author worth reading – and The Life Organizer is a book worth adding to your collection!
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

You’re right Dee – this would be a great gift book!
I should have mentioned that one’s weeks can start any time of the year – so, you aren’t constrained to starting this book at any specific time!
Thank you for posting this review. This sounds like something I’d really enjoy reading. I’m currently listening to:
Notes from a Blue Bike: The Art of Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World by Tsh Oxenreider

looks great! I wanted to listen to the video but the sound quality was too low and I could not adjust it! You know this is right up my alley!
This looks like a great book that would be helpful for me right now. I’m going to have to check it out for sure. Stopping by from SITS Sharefest.
{Kathy} This seems right up my alley! I love to use my date book to sort of “journal”. I give myself goals and deadlines. I also give myself room to dream. Thanks for introducing me to her work.

You’re so welcome! Since you use your date book as a journal The Life Organizer would be a perfect book for you to use as a way to prompt your thoughts!
I loved the review you did you this book and the interview was wonderful. It made me want to drop what I was doing and head for the nearest bookstore when I realized, I’m connected to Amazon with the Internet. I am so excited that there is a book like this out there that care for our thoughts, helps up be mindful and guides us through our lives.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the review Vicki! Jennifer has some awesome self-care books for women.
I hope you have the opportunity to add a few to your shelves!
Thanks for another glowing recommendation. I really enjoy books like this that help me achieve my goals.
I haven’t thought of Louden in years! My mother gave all the girls in the family her gratitude book. This looks right up my alley! Is it based on the calendar year- so I’m already two months behind?
I also love all the addtl media and links you add- very engaging. I’m visiting from the Sunday Linky Love party but I’ll be back!

Hi Catherine,
The book is NOT based on the calendar year – it is Week based (Week 1, Week 2, etc) – so you can begin your year whenever it suits you!
I’m so glad you appreciate the additional links and media!
Have a wonderful week and I hope to see you again soon!
Thanks for the book review – this looks like a book I would really enjoy. Always looking to read something new and inspiring.
