Andrea Cyr was the lucky winner of a 2 hour blitz that I provided as a door prize at a networking event in April. This was not a fluke…Andrea had facebooked me several months before and inquired about my services. She was making many substantial changes in her life and felt it was the right time to Take Charge and get about the business of getting her home in order….you see Andrea has some very bold, exciting goals that require focus…and that requires organization. Through her desire to win and her belief in the Law of Attraction she made it happen. Here is the result of the 2 hour session in her awesome words. You can meet Andrea here
Organizing was never my forte. Heck, it wasn’t even in my vocabulary. Then I met a little spitfire named Elaine Shannon and that all changed. I had no idea life could be like this! Let me share my story.
I don’t know how I ended up so unorganized.
I think my mother landed on this planet directly from another galaxy called “A Place for Everything, and Everything in its Place”. She has had the SAME shoe box with first-aid type supplies in the bathroom closet for 47 years! I don’t remember EVER having to ask “Mom, where’s the ozonol (or band aids, or Absorbine Jr., or peroxide…etc…), it was in the shoe box!
You would think I would have caught on. Then again, this is a woman who ironed our socks and put them on OVER our shoes when we were babies, so maybe I just thought she was a little bit crazy!
Anyway…until recently, if I even owned a tube of Ozonol, I would have to look in at least 5 places to find it! The cut, or burn, or blister or whatever would be healed by the time I found the Ozonol! I didn’t have a place for ANYTHING, and NOTHING was in place. If I mistakenly took out my contact lenses before searching the house for my glasses, I was doomed!
About a month ago, Elaine Shannon, organizing superwoman came into my house!
It was fascinating. She was wearing a t-shirt and sneakers ( I guess she figured she had her work cut out for her!) and carrying a filing box from which she removed a bottle of water, a label maker and a little pad of yellow sticky notes. And we began. We went through my “cozy” little condo like a wild fire.
Please understand that I don’t even see the things that Elaine picked out. She just had to walk into a room and look around for a second before she started furiously writing on her little sticky note pad. She would tell me what needed to be done, what containers to buy, what hanging organizing thingies I needed then SMACK!!! Stick the little yellow note on the wall! (not 30 percent into the job, she ripped the note pad in half suddenly realizing she didn’t have enough notes for the organizing nightmare that was my little house!)
By the time she left an hour later, there were sticky notes on every wall, every door, in every drawer and in every cupboard. It was at once hilarious, fascinating and a little intimidating!
A month later I can’t believe the difference.
Not only in my house, but in my life! Elaine’s work has made my life easier, and I am so much happier. I don’t have the frustration of looking for things any more. Everything is in its place! If I want to paint my nails, I just go to the “nail supplies” container and pick my products! When I want to find out how much my power bill was last month, I go to the “power bill” file! I had no idea it could be so easy.
Meeting Elaine has enhanced my life in many, many ways.
But having all my cereal in the same cupboard is truly one of the highlights! Thanks Elaine. You’re an amazing woman and a true organizing guru!
