In February I was laid off. One of the first things to happen is that you take a close look at your life. I’m a very organized and scheduled person but this sudden change threw me for a loop. After speaking to supportive people, I was getting pretty tired of hearing: "ENJOY", "Take your time finding a job", "Everything happens for a reason".
A week later, one inspiring woman called me and said "Well, what is your dream job?” I had not thought about this question in many years. My dream job when I was little was to be an interior designer. I did that...now what? At 36 years old, I had my plan all set. I have a wonderful Husband, 2 beautiful boys, and career that I loved...and then POOF.
So I told her that I LOVED to organize but needed to be flexible. She mentioned to me that there are Professional Organizers. REALLY? After that conversation, she helped me to network with a wonderful group of ladies that I’m proud to say are my peers.
I am now a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers and also joined the Philadelphia Area Chapter of NAPO. What wonderful things I’m learning and I hope to share them with you.
EVERYTHING DOES HAPPEN FOR A REASON it just sometimes has a funny way of showing why.
