A week end of crazy-busy. I am not ready to write on my novel yet, not here. But I will keep sharing my thoughts in this space. Therapy.
I have done a lot interior decorating and hands-on renovations long before the do-it-yourself TV shows and dvd's. I stay current with interior styles and products and have a great passion for people who need a "hand-up," and this is coupled with uncanny opportunities to meet people who are in the right place, at the right time, for what I do. After discerning the need, I then go into their homes and help them sort things out. With their needs being formost in mind, we freshen their surroundings ... ultimately, I assist them in re-investing in their own lives again. I love to help re-purpose people ... and things! Shopping for and renovating small pieces of furniture, wall hangings, etc making them useful and great to look at, is fun and therapuetic. I love getting something from almost nothing! I charge nothing, usually bring my own equipment, many times buy the paint, do the cleaning, hang pictures, and window treatments, etc. I even had the opportunity to buy a new sofa for one person! I walk away feeling great, and so do they. Rewarding! Now my husband is getting into the act. It's great exercise and makes life better. The stories that come from this work is truly amazing, however their stories belong to them and is theirs to tell.
This is the post for Anita's alley for today and I am good with it. I stand to learn about myself here.
