Nettie and I are working on launching the "remote" part of Sappari Solutions.
We are hoping to get it up and running by November 1st.
It will be a new aspect of the business, but I am hoping that it will be as successful as the face to face method of working with clients that is currently the way we work.
Some really cool tools for project management:

I am also hoping to add a message board to the website and moderate it, so that the people that are in our classes can access it after the class and we can stay in touch.
I really enjoy meeting people and hearing about the projects that they are facing. It would be so nice to be able to hear about how they are doing and maybe give them a little advice.
I am really enjoying all that we are doing to get everything moving in a really forward direction.
I love organizing and I enjoy the people so much.
I will have a report on the next phase, whenever it happens.

Getting My Autumn Act Together...
Yes, the Fall decoorations are up, and I have what I need for baking Pumpkin Bread and making soup, but there is SO much to get done at this time of year, before the cold weather chases us indoors.
I have to get the dying flowers out of the back flower bed.
I need to start raking, and this year, as I rake, I am going to be planting some extra grass seed.
I need to get all the junk that has collected in various areas of the backyard, into either Goodwill or Garbage bags.
The fence needs to be finished.
The flowers and plants on the sides of the house need trimming or removal, depending on the type.
Indoors I have plenty to keep me busy.
I have switched out half of the clothes. I still need to do Tim's and mine.
I have to get all the windows washed as Tim removes the A/C units.
I have to get the winter comforter on our bed.
I need to go through the boys belongings and purge whatever they feel ready to get rid of.
Christmas is coming...
That should keep me busy for a month or so....

After The Conference
I attended an actual Organizing conference for actual Professional Organizers on Saturday.
It was energizing, enlightening, and I got some great ideas.
I went with Nettie, the fearless owner of our company, "Sappari Solutions", and we were able to talk about plans, hopes and dreams for the business.
I listened to a really inspiring speaker about living in small spaces. Sharon Lowenheim, a professional organizer from New York city, provided some wonderful ideas for people who have to deal with very limited spaces.
One of the things that she mentioned is that so many people keep so much more than they need, just because they can. True.
I have two good sized linen closets. They have been stuffed to overflowing with sheets, towels, rugs, and table linens for years!
Why?
Sharon asked why we need more than two sets of sheets for each bed. Good question.
So today I pulled everything out of those two closets and went through them. I put everything into two piles, and the biggest one went to Goodwill. AH....
Most of that stuff was stained and worn, and I was just keeping it as a "spare". For what! I already had spares to spare!
I also went through all the clothes over the weekend and did the fall changeover. A lot of out grown and beat up clothing is going to Goodwill as well.
It is nice to see space and order in those areas!
