Just got back from the Los Angeles Organizing Awards. Though I didn’t win the Philanthropy Award, I had an absolute BALL and I learned something really valuable: you don’t have to make it big to make a big difference. More on that in a later post (need to get permission from client before I can post her testimonial, but it’s a good one!).

Here’s a picture of me with some of the biggest names in my industry sharing a Friday night cocktail at The Standard in L.A. From left: Me, Hellen Buttigieg (host of Canada’s organizing TV show, NEAT), Lisanne Oliver (Australian organizing celebrity and author of SORTED!), and Jodie Watson, organizing expert on TLCs Real Simple, Real Life.
The following night was the awards ceremony where expert organizer Peter Walsh was the presenter for my category of Philanthropy Award. He was a doll!
And me with a very good friend and fellow organizer who I met at last year’s NAPO Conference, Gail Gray of A Fresh Start. Thanks for being such a great support, Gail!
More details to come…
Heather!
It was such a pleasure getting to know you and your husband this past weekend in Los Angeles. What a fun time we had, eh? You looked lovely and I congratulate you on your nomination and serving as a finalist in the Organizing Awards. Your contribution has been greatly appreciated!!!
John aka OrganizingLA
Heather, it was such a pleasure meeting you at the dinner. Hope our paths cross again soon.
Hellen
Thanks, Hellen and John. The pleasure was all mine! Hellen, you are truly genuine and you do your country proud (I’ve never met a Canadian without walking away from them saying, “That is the NICEST person I’ve ever met!”). Hopefully all our paths will cross again soon!
