I am so excited because tomorrow (Sunday), I am going to have lunch with one of my favorite blogging friends, Ariane Benefit, ADD / ADHD Organizing Coach who authors Neat & Simple Living, an Organizing & Decluttering Blog, in New York City. I am here with one of my team members for a week-long organizing makeover job in Connecticut starting on Monday, and so I am excited all the way around! Although we have exchanged links on our blogs, spent HOURS on the phone together brainstorming some great ideas and sharing from our hearts, we have never met in person. Funny, because I feel as though I have known her forever!
One of the best things I have found about the blogosphere is how friendly, caring, helpful and warm most bloggers are. It's like a social club that anyone can join in, and being an extrovert, making new friends all over the world is my idea of heaven!
So...many of you know Ariane from her blog that I often quote and link to: Neat & Simple Living. Ariane is a personal organizing consultant and coach in NJ who writes from her heart on many of the same issues that I do. She also has an amazing resource library which has dozens of articles on getting organized.
How did we 'meet'? A little over a year ago I saw her name pop up on my subscriber list and I had to go see what this Neat & Simple Living thing was all about. I immediately got goosebumps, because she and I are true kindred spirits, we approach our clients with such a similar attitude: that it's not about your stuff, it's about the emotions that lie underneath the clutter, that need to be released in order for true harmony to reign in your mind, heart and surroundings.
So, gang, if you haven't seen Neat & Simple Living go check it out and tomorrow, I will have real live photos for you of the two of us together. Some of you may remember that just a few months ago, I had a meet-up with the incomparable Wendy Piersall of emomsathome blog and the fabulous first lady of blogging, Liz Strauss of Successful Blog, when I was in Chicago.
By the way, I love meeting up with fellow bloggers, so if you are ever in LA, please send me an email and we can meet!
And if any of you fellow bloggers have pictures, stories or anything to share about meeting up with fellow bloggers, let me know!
