Peace of Mind Organizing

Off to Chicago

14 November 2008

I leave this afternoon to drive to Chicago with my friend and fellow organizer Karel Worley of Clearing Your Path (who, sadly, doesn’t yet have a website). We’re going to the 2008 Professional Organizer Midwest Conference and Expo. There’s a great lineup of speakers, mostly fabulous organizers from around the country (and the world — Wendy Davie, president of the Australasian Association of Professional Organizers, who lives in New Zealand, will be speaking). Other speakers include Elizabeth Hagen, Margaret Lukens, Pam McCutcheon, and Emily Wilska (whose blog was my Blog of the Week a few weeks back).

I’m a conference junkie. I love learning new information and I adore getting to know other organizers who are, by and large, a really wonderful group of helping people.

Karel and I are visiting IKEA on Sunday. Karel’s never been there. I’m still having flashbacks about my stress-filled trip there last summer, but this trip should be much more relaxing since I’m not planning on buying anything.

After our trip to IKEA, we’ll drive the five hours back to St. Louis. I’m looking forward to spending more time with Karel, renewing acquaintances with organizers I know and meeting more of them!
