This week’s Blog of the Week isn’t an organizing blog per se, but it’s full of fabulous, inspiring information that can certainly be applied to organizing (and professional organizers).
Christine Kane is a singer/songwriter whose blog encourages living creatively and consciously. She took a leap of faith when she decided to pursue her music career. In the process, the things she learned about herself, the shifts, the revelations, all became fodder for helping others. So, in addition to creating music, she writes and speaks about personal development, encouraging people to act in spite of their fears.
Today’s post, “Expand When You’re Tempted to Shrink,” about expanding your business (or your life) in the face of contracting economic times (in other words, taking risks in the face of constant doom-and-gloom from the media), really spoke to me.
In addition, her recent post, How to be an Extreme Encourager is very powerful. (And don’t miss her follow-up post, The Anatomy of Extreme Encouragement). As a professional organizer, I know how important encouraging my clients is and I really enjoyed her guidance on how to encourage effectively. Personally, I’ve been the lucky recipient of some extreme encouragement as well.
I’ve just started reading Christine’s blog but plan to make it a daily visit. I’ve started digging into the archives a bit and especially enjoyed this post on creating a vision board, something I’ve been meaning to do.)
By the way, if you visit the blog, be sure to download her free song, The Real World, which I’m listening to as I write this. It’s lovely.
