In This Issue... Reflections
Reflections (by Mary'n Hallock, Facilitator) As a professional organizer, I am often consulted when a person's office has gotten completely out of hand -- chaotic and unworkable. Things have usually reached a crisis point; a great prospect is lost or a deadline is missed that costs dearly. Often, the person has neglected to even minimally care for her workspace and is suffering in an ugly, dysfunctional environment that drains energy, focus and productive power. When explaining why they waited this long, I often hear, "I just don't care" or "I take care of my clients but never get around to taking care of my own stuff." It is clear that they have put themselves last. Not caring or putting ourselves last might seem selfless. But think about it. When we don't take care and put ourselves last, we deplete our energy and the ability to give our best. I feel fortunate that my job is always to bring hope and help for clients to start caring about themselves again so that they can be energized in their spaces rather than depleted. In this season of giving you, too, are deserving of fine gifts. What care will you take for yourself? What gifts do you bring to you? Use the mini-reflection
exercise to help you take care of yourself. (click on workshop titles to view flyers) Creativity
