I haven’t forgotten about part 2 of the cupcake saga (I promise I’ll post that soon), but this morning I had something else on my mind so please bear with me…
I spent the weekend in a coaching class and learned a lot about the power of choice. We choose how to look at things. And by choosing our perspective, we can transform our experiences (and our lives really).
Then this morning I was looking for an article on Whole Living that I saw in the current print issue but did not find it online. Instead I came across an article that I had read a couple months ago about “Cleaning as Meditation” and found myself re-reading it. But this time, it clicked.

After looking at the same stale notes for months, today I decided to start afresh and began to erase my whiteboard. But because the dry erase ink had been left to sit for so long, it had actually begun to stain the whiteboard. The eraser only took off the top layer, leaving behind almost everything I wanted to remove. I pulled out the “mild formula dry erase board cleaner” that came with the dry erase markers. That took off another twenty percent of the ink but I was still left with words and big smudges. I have this thing about whiteboards: either they should be full of random things I have jotted down or they should be pristine white.
Three more rounds of the mild dry erase board cleaner did nothing to improve the situation. The solution? Nail polish remover. Yes, today is a great day to be a girl. And my white board is clean to boot.
Update: In addition to nail polish remover, alcohol and even white vinegar work as well. And also, nail polish remover is great for removing the gunky sticker messes (which I am happy to know because there is very little that I hate more than those price stickers that won’t come off). — Thanks to all who shared their tips with me.
