As some of you out there may know, my mother was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer early this year. She is doing well now and it appears the cancer is in remission. My mother was very lucky. She detected her cancer early and had very high chances of recovery.

Since cancer has entered our lives I have been made aware of the local NOCC (National Ovarian Cancer Coalition) chapter here in Richmond. They are a great bunch of ladies and they are doing so much to educate other woman about this horrible silent cancer. September is Ovarian Cancer Month and on September 16th, they will be hosting an event called Tea for Teal. This event is a great opportunity to learn more about ovarian cancer, meet local physicians, meet local woman who have first hand experience of what it’s like to live with ovarian cancer and proceeds for the event will go to further cancer research.

If you are interested in attending this event or someone in your life has ovarian cancer you can learn more by contacting Mary Gill at . Or you can visit the national website by going to www.ovarian.org. 

I’d say 80% of my clients are overwhelmed with books. Most of these clients will say they intend to pass the books to their friends or loved ones. The reality is they never do. The books are either covered with other clutter, or they have so many books it would take years for their friends to read them all.  I, for one, can completely understand this predicament. I am one who values a good book and I tend to save them as if they were trophies. I guess I figure everyone who comes to my home will see how smart I am. While reading my books I always have a friend in mind to give it to. But like my clients, I never pass them along. Well, I found a great resource today. BookMooch.com. Not only is this resource an opportunty to recycle a good book, but it’s FREE. (Well, you have to pay to ship the book). And yes, you can even exchange your book for another. However, I suggest you donate two, (maybe even three or four etc.) in exchange for one. 

These days almost everyone I know is mobile. They work from home, from coffee shops, from their car. This makes it even more important to be organized. This article below includes some great tips for those who know first hand the stresses of working from home or without an office. To all my friends at Capital one, this one’s for you.

It’s official...well I think it’s official. I’ll be an exhibitor at the next Biz Link event coming up on September 27th. I have never done a trade show before but I am excited. This is an opportunty to announce to the world… well the Biz Linc attendees, that Organizers don’t just do closets. I’ll be promoting my own personal niche, helping individuals with Attention Deficit Disorder in their work environments. More importantly I’ll be promoting that I work with people on the job, in any job. Due to all the media attention, I think individuals get stuck thinking we only do homes. But there is so much more we offer. So jot this date down on your calendars. It will be at the Greater Richmond Convention Center, 403 N. 3rd Street, downtown. Pop by my exhibit and see me. And if you have any suggestions on what my booth should look like, what I should do for take aways, etc. post me a comment. I would love to know what the people want.
