Cindy is a wonderful colleague of mine. Join her if you're able. Time is local to Nova Scotia so dial it back 4 hours if you're in BC.

Attention!! Attention!!

Time to clean out the linen closet.

A few weeks ago, I had the remarkable opportunity, through Professional Organizers in Canada, to be a part of a virtual presentation by Julie Morgenstern - Organizing and Time Management Expert!! Such a fun and valuable event! Thank you Cyber Chapter for hosting! I have been mulling over all the warm wisdoms Julie shared with us...and this, below, is one of my favourite nuggets!... Have a read through the post for more awesome insights! And her books are fabulous too! "Clutter isn’t just junk we should be able to easily toss. Clutter--whether in the form of unworn clothes, untouched piles of paper, or rarely used kitchen gadgets, represents an attachment we are struggling to release. By understanding the role it is playing in your life, you are in a position to find a healthier way to achieve that goal." https://www.juliemorgenstern.com//gbxbm4b2ugiwpsn4wtacaifo

I wonder if it would be more trouble than it's worth...anyone tried this? Kinda nifty.

Cindy is an absolute moving pro. And she's a one-in-a-million friend and colleague. If you have a relocation on the horizon, I urge you to consider attending this free, virtual event. (Here in BC, we are 4 hours behind Nova Scotia, so you'll need to factor that in.) You won't be disappointed! And if it turns out you need some additional help, look no further. Between Cindy and me, we can get you sorted --whether it's in person, safely, or virtually via phone, email, video, etc. Best of luck!

Another nudge.

Big love to my trans friends, clients, and all those out there in the world! You are seen, you are loved, and you have my support in every and all ways!

The best place to get your Christmas tree in town! Nice job, Terry! Y'all do wonderful work over there! And always worth a call to see if they're accepting clothing or housewares or have anything on their needed wish list too!

A wonderful initiative! And wonderful shops! Think local for any holiday gifts you'll be giving! Consumables and zero waste essentials can be found at the participating shops, including West Coast Refill and Zero Waste Emporium!

Made it to The Body Shop at The Bay Centre today to drop off these clothes from my closet, along with a bag of goodies from a client too! They'll be making their way to WIN- Victoria Women In Need Community Cooperative for their November clothing Donation Drive. All 3 Body Shop locations are participation, and the Bay Centre has the added incentive of a $10 gift card to the mall when you drop off your items for WIN. (I'll pass that on to my client when I see them next.) (...Oh, and psst, Hillside Shopping Centre info desk accepts donations year round on behalf of WIN; just clothing, shoes and accessories though and no household items, thanks.) Also popped by Victoria Tool Library to drop off these quality tools a client was wanting to pass on. If you have any tools that could be used for art, kitchen, garden, automotive, renovations, or other projects, consider donating them...'cause not everyone needs to own everything! We can share! Check out their website for more information about membership and inventory.

For those of you who may be spending some time over in Instagram land, I've started sharing content there too! There'll be lots of crossover but it won't be exactly the same... Check out by post from yesterday here: ... https://www.instagram.com/p/CHZNTa0DQDI/?igshid=mh8w4kdk5xh5 See more
