the book - part one

when i first started organizing people's homes i thought that i was acquiring good information to write a book. the problem with that thought is...i don't know how to write a book. so i made an outline and started to write. i wrote a small bit about each client i had worked with and what i thought could be learned from the experience. and then one day i just stopped writing. i didn't know what the point of the book would be and i didn't know how to tie the stories together to make them interesting enough for someone to read.
well i think it is time for me to re-visit the book writing and i will start by posting some of those old writings here. maybe, just maybe it will inspire me to put this thing together into an actual book. hopefully i will hear what my voice is trying to say.

here goes...

my intro:

this book is dedicated to all people who want to help others get out from underneath their clutter - body, mind souls and to those who are still underneath.

so why this book? when i decided i was going to pursue starting my own business i researched professional organizing. there are many books out there designed to give tips on how to be organized. i think of for the most part we all know what it means to be organized. it's pretty simple. reduce the total amount of stuff. put like with like items. for every one item that comes in the home, one item should go out. 

but organizing is way more involved than that. my goal is to take you on my journey working with a variety of people with a variety of challenges.  perhaps you will see yourself in one of the scenarios and can learn a little about what would help you. or you just might enjoying reading about people's stories. 

 of course i will also include tips, favorite products, etc. but what i want to share with you is really what it means to be in this business. i mean let's face it, we just have too much stuff. look at tv there are already competing television shows for this market. this is a growing business. thanks to the internet you can buy things in bulk, super cheap and you don't have to carry it home. nowadays you can have it delivered to your house for free. the consumer market is big and the stuff accumulates.
