In proportion
as one simplifies his life,
the laws of the universe
will appear less complex,
and solitude will not be solitude,
nor poverty poverty,
nor weakness weakness.

by Henry David Thoreau

  1. I placed an order (#42458) on 5/19/12 and I’ve forgotten exactly what it was I ordered. I seem to remember getting some emails immediately after that, and then the next time I searched for the emails, they were gone. I can’t remember if you’re mailing something to me or if you were emailing something for me to print. Can you please help me with this? If it’s coming snail-mail, I suppose I should wait a little longer, but in the meantime, I’d just like to know:
    1) what I ordered?
    2) how it’s coming to me? (If it was emailed, it’ll need to be re-sent because I can’t find the original emails.)

    Thanks so much for your help!

  2. Hi Lisa,

    There’s no store on this site! Did you make a purchase from one of our other sites – eg Get Organized Wizard?

    We don’t ship physical goods so if you made a purchase from us your email would have contained a link for you to download your product(s).

    If you did purchase from Get Organized Wizard could you please contact [email protected] with the details. They’ll certainly be able to help you out.

    M 🙂
