This week finds me in Cancun, Mexico on an Abraham-Hicks retreat.  The morning workshops are led by Esther Hicks a famous author and speaker on the law of attraction.  I’ve been following these teachings for about a decade and they have completely transformed my mood, my business, my ability to appreciate and bask in the moment, and so much more. 

It continually amazes me how the simplest advice is sometimes the most transformative.  Neither my client nor I always know the power of a certain suggestion or insight as it comes out during as session. It’s only in retrospect and in practice that we can pinpoint the gems. 

Last week my client asked, “Kacy, how did you come up with your business name?” In the middle of an Evernote tutorial, it was appropriate that I turned to my Evernote for a visual to my story.  I’ve been an organizer since 2001.  In 2008 I defined my niche as a paper and office organizer.  

The podcast that has my attention these days is Presidential.  Considering I’m a native Washingtonian who was brought to tears by American history (both by grades and boredom), Presidential is a godsend for me.  The political literacy of many of my clients is staggering.  It’s hilarious the lengths I go to to avoid political chit-chat, but 14 episodes in, it’s already come in handy whilst chit-chatting over the recycling bin.

A few weeks ago when I wrote about the Darshan Karat, the man who generated only two trash bags in one year, I committed to bringing my own containers to restaurants to reduce the trash generated by bringing leftovers home.  It breaks my heart when we carry home stacks of styrofoam clamshells that are only a fifth full.
