CLUTTER – IT’S NO LAUGHING MATTER

There’s something I would like to share with you. Although this may or may not pertain to you directly, I am sure you know of someone it will resonate with. Allow me to explain.

Over a span of 20 years, I have helped people create healthier environments for their home and office. By far, it’s been the most challenging and yet rewarding part of my career.

But what I think people do not fully realize is that clutter is no laughing matter.

Clutter hurts. Clutter depletes your quality of life and raises the potential for serious health issues. It is one of the major sources of stress and can exacerbate medical conditions.

The problem is that it’s not always easy for a person to live a clutter-free life. Although it’s true, 99.9% of the time people can learn to get organized, (it’s a skill-set that is trainable) it’s only half of the equation to living an organized life.

So why do so many people fail at living an organized lifestyle?

Well, from my experience, it is not just one simple answer. There are many reasons why a person may be unable to conquer their clutter. And, unfortunately, at times it can be rather complicated.

I am always in search of new information, new techniques, new ideas on how to help a person succeed. That’s why I am so excited to share with you a new program I have developed. I believe, (if followed exactly as I teach it) you can truly get to the root cause of the clutter problem and finally live clutter-free.

Of course, living a conscious healthy lifestyle is always a choice. But coupled with this innovative program, I’m betting on a high success rate to being and staying organized.

Starting this Fall, I will be rolling out this program on-line, in private workshops and at prestigious learning centers, including The New York Open Center. Filming starts mid August for a min-series accentuating wellness in the home and workplace. Truly, exciting stuff.

As always, if you need immediate assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me here. Until then, stay tuned!

Another Happy Client

Another Happy Client

Working with clients who are ready to make their dreams a reality is one of my biggest dreams. For years I used to envision what it would be like to have clients work with me here at The Cottage. To be living this dream and creating with my clients is such an exciting and beautiful process. I’m passionately crazy about creating!

Recently, I had the pleasure of creating with Andrea Colby. Andrea is now working on her second book and launching a speaking career. But before all of this, Andrea and I worked together on many different aspects of her life’s journey as she transitioned from her legal career to becoming a coach and author. You can learn all about Andrea and her business by visiting her here!

Check out what Andrea had to say about our time at The Cottage:

“Attending Patricia’s one-on-one live workshop was an incredibly efficient and productive way to move forward in my life. Starting with Patricia’s initial questionnaire helped me focus on what I wanted to derive from our time together and working through the entire workshop, I came to several unexpected and delightful realizations about my overall goals in life, both personal and professional. Patricia was patient and urged me on to find ways of scheduling my time so that I will spend it wisely and well, doing the things that I value and enjoy. I heartily recommend Patricia’s workshop to help jump start your coaching agenda and reach your goals quickly. It was wonderful!”

The dedication Andrea has demonstrated to her personal and professional growth has quantum leaped her career and opened up boundless opportunities for her. The same can happen for you! All you need is the right support and faith in believing in your dreams. And it all can happen right here at The Cottage.

BRING YOUR DREAM INTO REALITY

We all have dreams.

Living out your dream is living your life on purpose. It’s exciting to watch a person who is living their dream. The energy and passion is contagious. I love being around people like that.

Here’s what I want you to know.

It’s never too late to bring your dreams into life. The truth is, the world is always a better place when we are creating from a life source that is light and full of positive energy…love.

Take Jeanne for example. She always dreamed of having her own business. Deep inside, Jeanne knew from the time she was a very small girl that art was her calling. There’s a sentimental story wrapped around her love for art. With a little help and support, Jeanne was able to transform all that love into an art program that helps children tap into their inner artist. I’m so proud to announce Jeanne’s new business:

The Joy of Art; Encouraging the Spark of Creativity in Children

Here’s Jeanne working on her dream at at my Cottage.

Jeanne is very busy working on all the details of her dream. She’s also written an eBook for children, The Joy Of Art; Teaching Kids To Have Fun With Paint to be released soon. Jeanne is now working on getting her website up and running and a host of art programs for children. All built from a dream based on love.

Would you like to live out your dream and bring more love into the world? Can you imagine what that would look like and feel like? I can! Like I said, it’s amazing and such an exciting experience to watch before your very eyes a dream come true.

If you would like to learn more about how to work with me one-on-one at my Cottage to fulfill your dreams, then this is your chance. For a limited amount of time, I will be opening up a few more workshops. The Cottage is a great place to be inspired and dream big. Remember, dreams really do come true but you have to take action. If you’ve been waiting for the time to have someone help you live out your purpose, the time is NOW.

Click on the link below, complete the connect with me form and submit it. Once I receive it, I will personally call you to discuss your dreams and how we can work together at the Cottage. Space is limited.

How To Soar To New Heights

“How does it feel to be completely blocked from achieving your highest potential? You know you want to get there; you feel you can do it; you even imagine it in all its glory.  But nothing happens.  You can’t make the transition.”~ B. E. 

The above is a fairly typical example of  how my clients express themselves when they feel stuck.
Perhaps there are moments when you feel this way too?It is also fairly common to gain moments of clarity in the stuck process.  You start to get energized and take steps to get yourself out of the rut.  You feel like you are making progress and you feel excited.  Then “something” happens.  You are not sure exactly what that something is, but it stops you from moving forward.  You find yourself pulling back again, this time even further.  You’re not sure why you pull back but you do. Your primary instinct is to seek comfort.  Comfort from your internal tug of war.
So what is this all about – what’s really going on when a person feels this way? Although a person may feel stuck, it is important to understand what “stuck” represents.  Often you will hear the comparison of being stuck to being in the middle of something.  The middle of something that one may feel they can’t get out of or not sure which direction to go.This is a very accurate description.  The truth is, the person who is feeling this way is  indeed stuck in the middle of something!  And that something usually represents the past and the future. This is why feeling stuck can be very confusing and needless to say, emotional.
So how do you get unstuck? 
On Monday, August 31, 2015 from 7:30pm until 9:00pm ET, I will be presenting an on-line workshop that will help you sort it all out.  Following will be Q&A time.  Just imagine what it will feel like when you are no longer trapped in the middle of your past and future.  Take a moment and envision being unstuck.  Do you see yourself soaring above – perhaps soaring to your higher self? 
Life Recovery
Take a look at what my client has to say now (the one who wrote the quote above) about being unstuck…
“I feel like I’m soaring like a bird.  I smell the sweet, sweet air with the gentle wind against my face.  It’s delightful, it’s exhilarating, it’s freeing!” ~B.E.
It’s not fun being stuck in the middle! Let me help you! Register for this event!
Once you register you will receive a Welcome Package that includes detailed information on how to attend the event.  You will also receive a Workbook that will guide you through the PowerPoint presentation that evening.  There will be time for a Q&A period so please bring your questions.
*Workbook
*PowerPoint
*Q&A Time
*1.5 + Hours
Since I believe in providing value to my clients, I try throughout the course of the year to offer events that are affordable for all to participate – this is just my way of giving back.  This is why this event is only $69.99. ($1,000. value)The event however is only open to the first ten (10) people who register.  Then it is locked.  Since all of my workshops sell out, I encourage you to register now so you don’t miss this event.  This one is sure to be POWERFUL!
Note:  Please come prepared to learn and be open to a fresh perspective on how to get unstuck.  Remember, the more open you are to learning, the faster the understanding will come.  Once the understanding arrives, you are more apt to accelerate change.  Just a hint…xo

What’s Your Emotional EQ?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify, use, understand, and manage your emotions in positive and constructive ways.

It’s about recognizing your own emotional state and the emotional state of others.  Emotional Intelligence is also about engaging with others in ways that draw people to you.

Piles into Files

Yes, I know…how those papers grow…and before you know it, you can’t see beyond your piles.  Well, you are not alone.  Finding creative filing systems is the key.  Remember, you have to “want” to get organized and finding methods and tools that you are attracted to will help begin the process.  Questions, just ask away.
