Getting Ready for the Holidays

Cathy MendlerIt’s hard to believe it’s mid-November already!

At the beginning of the month, I travelled to beautiful Vancouver to attend the annual Professional Organizers in Canada conference. It was a wonderful trip, and I attended a number of great education sessions, caught up with organizing colleagues I hadn’t seen in a year or two, met some new professional organizers and enjoyed some amazing West Coast food!

At our Awards dinner, I was presented with my certificate for attaining Gold Leaf status. This status level recognizes not only ten years as a member of Professional Organizers in Canada but also “a persistence of spirit, a determined passion and a dedication to giving back to the profession.”

In other news, my mother is recovering well from her recent hip replacement, my youngest son has sold his house, and I’m the officially designated wedding planner for my oldest son and his fiancée‘s wedding!
