Cleaning Essentials – Clean-Up From The Inside Out
Hey, check out this article from The Digest that I was featured in.
Great tips – Valuable Information!
http://www.thedigestonline.com/lifestyle/spring-cleaning-essentials-clean-up-from-the-inside-out/
“Right now, this very moment, I have such a clear vision that I must share it with you,” said Barbara.
“Okay, let’s hear it – you have my full attention,” I replied.
“I feel like I finally get it. I see for the first time what you have been trying to show me all along. Not only do I see it, but I truly feel it.”
“This is going to be good,” I said. “I can’t wait, please continue…”
Barbara excitedly shares her vision. She tells me to envision an egg. Only this egg is a stone egg. This stone egg is really an analogy – because the stone egg, this hard-core shell that has been rock solid for many years, is really her. And like the stone egg, Barbara’s outer core has been very difficult to penetrate. And like the stone egg once again, this outer shell has protected itself like she has protected herself for many, many years. They are both the same, virtually unbreakable.
“But you see, Patricia,” she said, “you know this. You have been watching me, observing me, coaching me. You get me. You see this and so you take heed and carefully select your words and actions with me. But with every word and action, you create a little crack on the egg.
“It’s as if I see you gently tapping the egg ever so slightly, but nevertheless unyielding. You do not give up, you just keep tapping away, little by little. Eventually, one of these taps creates a huge fracture. It’s hard to see now where the very first crack occurred as all the cracks blend into one another. The stone egg is extremely fragile and like myself, can break open in an instant.
“You prepare the stone egg for this critical time. You place the egg in a safe zone so when it’s ready to emerge it does not feel broken. Instead, like myself, it will witness a break through. And a pivotal moment it will be for us as the stone egg morphs into no other but me. But the best part of all of this is that what I see and feel is my higher self finally coming out to play.
“It’s whimsical, it’s delirious and most of all it is freeing. I celebrate, I dance, I sing, I am overjoyed that at last I get to experience the freedom to be no one else, but me.”
It is a glorious day. I am grateful and I am thankful for this experience with Barbara. And as always, I like to save the best for last.
Barbara said:
“I know this is only the start. I am onto a new beginning, one with no end in sight and I am finally ready!”
I searched high and low
To find the right prayer for you today
To show you just how much I care
and appreciate all that you do
No matter what I found
It just wouldn’t do
As my heart kept telling me
Something else to do
So I took my pen in hand
and went straight to you
Oh Father I am so grateful
You always show me the way
To speak my words
From this place of today
So Dear Friends
What I am trying to say
Is that I am truly thankful
For people just like you
Who have touched my life
So deeply and shaped me anew
In this season of rebirth
Of all that is pure
Please accept my words as my gift
So you will know them forever more
With Much Love,
Patricia xo

How often in life do you stuff down negative emotions or feelings about something going on in your present life or about something that has happened in the past?
It’s a common human pattern to stuff things down. We do it to protect ourselves. You’ve done it, I’ve done it, people do it on a daily basis.
The challenge is…
I received the above in an email from Nick Ortner, The Tapping Solution, and it got me to thinking …
Eventually this accumulation of stuff has no other choice but to come out. When it does come out, it can manifest in many forms. For some people, their outward form manifests as physical clutter.
Clutter as we know represents disorder. Therefore, our physical clutter is an outward manifestation, a demonstration if you will, of what we may be feeling inwardly, i.e., confusion, turmoil, overwhelm. So it makes perfect sense when someone says, “I don’t know where to begin or how to start” when attempting to combat their clutter.
The truth is 99.9% of the time, people can get organized. Organization is a skill set that one can learn. It is the emotional aspect that prevents one from doing so, commonly referred to as an emotional block.
For this very reason, it’s important to take note that in order to deal with your physical clutter it is also necessary to work on your emotional clutter. Otherwise, it has been my experience, that no matter how many times you attempt to get things back in order, if you do not deal with the emotional aspect, the clutter will come back.
It is also important to point out, that the clutter will usually come back with a vengeance. It’s as if the clutter is saying, “Hey you, I’m not done here…look at me…we have things to settle and I’m not going away until we do.”
This is the time when I suggest you look at your clutter with a fresh perspective. In other words, don’t fear the clutter, Bless it. Approach the clutter with gratitude and thankfulness.
Think of it this way…
I am going to give it to you straight up – you BELONG in this training program. There’s no doubt in my mind.
How do I know this? Because you have proven over and over by attending my classes that you not only desire and want to have a better environment, but you NEED it!
I also know that FEAR is holding you back from getting what you truly deserve. But the good news is that I can help you fight through that fear so you can take control over your home, office and gosh, your life for that matter!
Over and over you provide the same reasons why you cannot commit to a program – and they are all EXCUSES! You continually convince yourself that you do not have the time, the money, the resources, and the list can go on. Please DO NOT do that to yourself anymore. You are programming yourself for continual failure.
I make all my events, workshops, programs, extremely affordable and time efficient – and all of them are jam packed with valuable content, techniques and strategies. I do this because I BELIEVE in what I do and I know I can help you!

Welcome to Boot Camp!
A training program that can possibly change your life!
Here is a quick review of what you can expect:
Why Boot Camp
You see, it has been my experience that people who struggle with task management, procrastination, and clutter have “something” in common. That something is the lack of follow-through.
What I also found is that people sometimes equate the experience of following through with the word “discipline” which can conjure up negative feelings, possibly an experience of punishment or something of that nature.
Now this belief system can potentially limit them in this area until one comes from a place of understanding and acceptance, but I also found that sometimes, yes, sometimes, the best way to overcome the lack of follow-through is to just jump in with a “Boot Camp” attitude.
With your new “Boot Camp” attitude, you will no longer be saying things such as this:
What is Boot Camp Organizing?
Boot Camp Organizing is a program that will:
Now don’t worry, there will be no one dressed in army fatigues screaming at you, but there may be whistles, alarm clocks and a few obstacle courses… (lol)
Here’s how it works:
Step One
You will show up to a Group Conference Call with everyone who has enrolled in Boot Camp. There will be a meet and greet and sharing of each person’s challenge and struggle. This will now be your Peer Support Group to access through your training. Count on making new friends. (Date to be announced)
Step Two
You will send me pictures/video of your entire home and/or office environment. I understand I will be entering your world and I take that invitation very seriously. You can count on confidentiality, respect and no judgement.
Step Three
We will set up a private one hour conference call, otherwise known as an “Intake Session” to review your pictures. This session allows me the opportunity to assess your living conditions and consult with you in a very private and personal way. This will be invaluable information for me to understand you better, i.e., patterns, behaviors, circumstances.
Step Three
You will be given a suggested plan of action which will take into consideration your ability to invest physically, emotionally and financially.
Step Four
We will engage in a one-on-one weekly coaching program for 30 minutes for a period of 7 weeks. That’s a total of seven (7) sessions. They will be set each week on the same day and same time. In these sessions we will:
Step Five
We will develop a “Best Practice” for you to then utilize moving forward in your organizing pursuits and maintenance routine.
Please Note: Our time together is considered just like “Real Time.” You have the option to engage via internet, telephone or Skype. This is a modality that I have used for many years to service clients nation wide and is just as effective as if I were there “live.”
What Does Boot Camp Cost?
For the “purpose” of Boot Camp I am making an outrageously low offer that you simply will not be able to resist…that is, if you are truly serious about seizing an amazing opportunity to change the course of your life.
Remember, you will receive a private, one-on-one consultation & assessment with me and seven private coaching sessions. A value worth thousands of dollars. But for this Boot Camp Special the price is an amazingly low price of only$399.00
Since I am only able to take a handful of clients at this deeply discounted offer, you will have to act NOW if you want to guarantee your spot in Boot Camp.
So show me your new Boot Camp attitude and…
Once you register you will be sent your Welcome Package with all the detailed information and specific dates about Boot Camp Organizing!
So what will it be?
Will you be showing up with your sleeves rolled back, ready to jump in, combat your clutter and disorganization, and win the battle…
Or will you continue to find excuses of why you can’t enlist.
So what will it be….the choice is yours!
(Remember, you are receiving this Priority Invitation because you registered for the tel-class – so if you are serious about Boot Camp here is your opportunity to register to avoid being closed out!)
“Going Back To A Simpler Life Is Not A Step Backward” – Yvon Chouinard said that and he was right.
Simplicity Is A Sign Of Growth
It’s important to understand that “letting go” is part of the process of going back to a simpler life. It is not in any way a reflection of you failing to achieve or hold onto “something.” That’s not what we are talking about here.
It takes courage to simplify one’s life. Did you hear that? It takes courage to simplify one’s life. Real courage to “let go” and be free of the things you may have considered important or special at one time.
Recognizing that your “things” may no longer be serving you (and can actually be holding you back from living life to the fullest) is a true sign of personal growth. There’s a lot to be said about a person who can relinquish the old and welcome the new; even if they aren’t sure what that may look like.
I see way too often people who struggle with the notion that “letting go” is somehow a sign of weakness or giving up. This can be to their detriment as it propels them into a perpetual state of fear because they simply cannot bear the thought they may be “losing.” But you see there is no loss with simplicity. Simplicity offers freedom of all that was but no longer is. So how can one lose when one becomes free? You simply cannot.
The process of purging one’s life is powerful. A process fully embellished with tender moments of self-discovery. An internal treasure hunt if you please.
Tell me, what’s more beautiful than that?
