I attended a workshop yesterday at which Erika of Living Harmony was the speaker. The workshop was very interesting. The topic of her talk related to how to effectively pack for a trip - whether for a weekend or several weeks. She talked about the types of bags you should own, how to pack them, what to do before and after your trips to make packing for future trips seamless. She really seems to know her stuff! She is a younger woman (mid 30s) and seems to have a lot of energy (which you seem to need when you are in the personal organizing business!).
Her business, Living Harmony, helps its clients to realize what it is that they really need in their lives and what they can get rid of. The company also helps clients to get better organized. Their slogan is "from chaos to calm"! She also had an interesting catch phrase that she used in her talk, that is a good reason to hire someone like her - "Every item that we own, owns us first"... meaning that every time we buy another thing, we have to invest additional time, money, etc into caring for that item in the future. It makes you think.
She seemed like a great organizer and I would certainly hire her if I was in the market!
