Sorry, I don’t have a “real” post for you tonight. Back in May, I had an “I Got Nuthin”, but that one turned out OK. This time, I am not too sure.

Living between Two Houses!

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Candy S | 4 Comments

Well, Sherryl Cook, I had to give your request some thought…. Any great organizational tips for people who practically live in their cars? I came up with two (2) major factors, which must be considered:

You want to feel at “home” at each other’s house
You do not want to feel like you are living out of your car

Common Sense right? But the question is How? Here are just a few suggestions:

You each need a space to call home. Now I am not trying to imply that you don’t feel like you are at home. But you each need a designated space for your “stuff”. You don’t want “stuff” all over the house. You need to know where to find what you need, when you need it. Some basic essentials; the favorite book, slippers, hair products, etc., that you don’t have to carry back and forth. This also means that you need to know what you have at his house and what he has at yours. Keep in mind that I am not trying to over-complicate the matter. This is a relationship, so you don’t have to make the process too formal.

My second suggestion is that you “sorta” map out what you are going to wear for the week or at least have some idea. I’m getting really creative on this one. You want to plan ahead, so that you are not always carrying clothes and other stuff, from one house to the other and back again!

Now I may have made a number of “assumptions” along the way :-), but maybe I said something that may help!

Please let me know how it works out…..

2nd “Order Out of Chaos” Workshop, Another Success!

Posted on October 21, 2012 by Candy S | 2 Comments

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to another Blessed week! Just wanted to let you all know that my second workshop for Seniors was even more fun than the first. There seemed to be even more participation and sharing…

A Special Thanks to Brenda, Activities Coordinator at The Lodge, she said, “Your common sense approach to handling disorder was well received by our residents. We look forward to your working with us and perhaps coming back to the Lodge in the new year.”

Below is a 50 sec. video, please watch and I hope you enjoy!

For more pictures, please go to my “Order Your Steps” Facebook page.

I wanted to acknowledge another milestone, we exceeded the 5000 Hits mark on last week. I want to thank all my followers, readers and Facebook fans! Stay Tuned for my next organizing post for the couple trying to manage two (2) households.

Have a Blessed Weekend!

A year and almost a month has passed…

Posted on October 8, 2012 by Candy S | 7 Comments

On September 13, 2011, Order Your Steps became a reality. It has truly been an interesting ride since last Sept. I haven’t made a lot of money :-(… But it hasn’t been about money ~~yet~~. My Xerox checks didn’t stop until mid-August and my pension checks started in mid-Sept. So we are still eating and we have a place to stay. 🙂 But my primary mission has been to help people to find order in their chaos. I did not want money to be the showstopper… Let’s work out a special rate or a payment plan, because this is more to me than just putting order to peoples’ stuff. My desire has been to help others to de-clutter, de-stress and de-compress their daily lives!

I have had an a wide variety of clients, some easy and some difficult. There have been organizing projects with big clutter and little clutter. Many of my clients have come and gone over the past several months, but the pace has been relatively steady. I’ve learned to enjoy the periods of rest between jobs. In order to broaden my horizons, ~~keep money coming in~~ and add to my business portfolio of service offerings, I completed designer training for ShelfGenie (click the link and find out more).

So what is next for me? I want to continue to grow and prosper Order your Steps (OYS)! I see OYS and ShelfGenie operating in tandem with one another. I want to expand my workshops to other community and church groups. I also want to start consulting with small businesses owners in organizational effectiveness.

For now, all is all, my life is really good! Satan would have me to believe that WOW! Things are just TOO good. The devil is a liar. This is what God wants our lives to be. He has a Divine Order for our lives. This does not mean a “perfect” life, but for us to have the peace of God that passes all understanding. Some of you may say, Who is she kidding? Well, all I can say is, if you only knew from whence I came… you already know some of it from previous posts, but you don’t know the half of it.

I know that God will continue to Order my Steps, as I take one Step at a time…..

P.S. I have written about all my children, so on Wednesday, find out more about my other half, my husband of 28 years…..
