Hi friends,
August is a contradictory month. We are all hiding from the heat, as best we can, in our air conditioning. Something about the heat slows us down - and while we pause - we realize that summer is almost over.
about me... This summer as I've been hibernating indoors, I have also been reflecting on where I am and how I got here. I started my home organizing business Simplify Raleigh, because I found that by simplifying my life and home, I was able to free up time for the things that really mattered to me. As a child I didn't have much. I learned early on that I could change my surroundings just by moving things around and a new space and energy would emerge. I have always been fascinated with how a space can be improved and used more efficiently, to that end I am constantly making adjustments in my home to improve functionality.
about my business... It was a small but courageous step from there to starting my business and helping others to reimagine their spaces. Over the past four years working with my clients I have learned that there are many different paths to creating the pared down home of your dreams, and not all methods work the same for everyone.
new ADHD-proof organizing services... I spent time this summer training on ADHD-specific organizing tactics. People with ADHD can struggle to get tasks done around the house; by structuring the home environment I can help clients keep track of high value items (keys, wallets) and help lower stress caused by lost items and incomplete chores. You don't have to have ADHD to struggle with these issues, the business of life and constant demands on our time can make any of us feel fractured and distracted. I can see many of the strategies I learned helping all of my clients and I can't wait to apply them in my work going forward.
lazy summer days are ideal to get a jump-start on organizing... Like August my schedule is heating up, I still have some spots this month to help with your to-do list. Let's use that time we're hiding in our air conditioning to transform the space that harbors you from the heat and make your home a true all-season sanctuary!
I will be reaching out every few months to share what I am learning and pass along some insider intel on how to simplify your life, home, and routine while enriching yourself. Remember you don't always have to buy new things to achieve change; sometimes it is just about, reimagining, repurposing, and reordering what we already have.
Lifting a lakeside cocktail to you as we face this most sweltering of summer months and dream of Fall's crisp breezes soon to come.
PS. discounts available for August referrals... For the past 4 years I have been working to hone my skills and build my business. A significant percentage of business is based on referrals. I am always so profoundly grateful each time someone not only invites me into their life but recommends me to their friends and family. I would like to recognize and reward those referrals in the month of August. If you refer a friend this month, and they book business with me, I am happy to offer a 15% discount off of your next home organizing job. Be sure your friends mention who referred them so I can be sure to get you your discount!
