			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><strong>here’s what The Zenplicity Coach can do to help you:</strong></p>
<p>Virtually and physically help you eliminate clutter and unnecessary stuff from your home – and more importantly, from your life.</p>
<p>Help you understand the benefits of minimizing your physical belongings and what it can do for you in the long term.</p>
<p>Teach you how to make decisions about what to keep &amp; what to get rid of … using simple steps.</p>
<p>Help determine problem areas in your home and teach you how to fix them … forever.</p>
<p>Help you create new, fresh spaces for the stuff you do keep.</p>
<p>Help you clean up areas that are stagnant (under kitchen sinks, utility room cupboards … any place that hasn’t seen the light of day in years.)</p>
<p>Help you create clean lines and openness within your living space.</p>
<p>Teach you how to make use of what you already have and to organize the leftover things that are important to you.</p>
<p>Teach you how to use tiny steps to get where you want to be.  Sessions are not long, hard and tedious.  They will be short and fun over a longer duration of time.</p>
<p>Teach you ways of how to preserve things you love and learn how to create something new (e.g. quilt, framed art) to save space.</p>
<p>Teach you creative &amp; unconventional ways to simplify and maintain that lifestyle.</p>
<p>Teach you what you can do on your own, between phone/chat sessions &amp; emails, so you can continue to progress.</p>
<p>Have fun realizing what you really use, love or need, and most importantly, what you don’t.</p>
<p>Learn how to make a difference in someone else’s life by giving items that no longer serve you.</p>
<p>Sell items on eBay or via another source, donate items to charity or call a junk-hauling service.</p>
<p>Learn to minimize materialism. Become more about “you” and less about what you own.  Feel what it feels like to just &#8220;be&#8221;.</p>
<p>Be able to breathe deeply again.  You will shine from the inside-out when this is finished.</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>types of help:</strong></p>
<p>in-home / hands-on coaching &amp; motivation</p>
<p>phone coaching &amp; motivation</p>
<p>email coaching &amp; motivation</p>
<p>instant messaging coaching &amp; motivation (chatting)</p>
<p>on-going support  via phone or online (email or instant messaging)</p>
<p>… or simply enjoy reading &amp; utilizing The Zenplicity Coach website / blog as you see fit</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>here’s what you should know about the way this works:</strong></p>
<p>Confronting your shtuff is not always easy.  Be prepared to let go of things.  This is a final resort type of service, not just a professional organizing “make-my-stuff- look-pretty” service.</p>
<p>I will tell you the truth about what I think.  No beating around the bush.  But I am nice about it. </p>
<p>I may ask you to take digital pictures of the rooms in your home and send them to me if you have chosen to take advantage of virtual-only coaching.</p>
<p>No need to ever feel embarrassment, be in denial, be defensive or make excuses – I truly “get it” and will never make you feel bad about your situation.  It can be fixed, and you will learn how to be empowered instead of defeated.  Some feel better doing this virtually for this very reason, but it’s not necessary, really.  Again, whatever works best for you.</p>
<p>We will talk about what got you to this point.  I will want to know what makes the chaos comforting to you. </p>
<p>Everything we do and say is 100% confidential.</p>
<p>I will not judge you.  Your need for help in this area is why I do what I do.  I love it, and although you may never love it like I do, you will understand how to tame things soon.</p>
<p>We will do this in simple, tiny steps.  A session of 2-3 hours is typically the longest we’ll ever go at one time (unless there is a specific project that you want to do all at once).  We will chat or work together either once a day, once a week or once a month.  Whatever works best for your individual needs is what we will do. </p>
<p>You hold the power, and you know how much help you need.</p>
<p>I would prefer if you don’t straighten up before our appointment or before taking your digital photos, especially for the 1st visit – I want to see your organizational issues in all their glory … that will help us know where to start and how to proceed.</p>
<p><em>doesn’t this sound fun?  I don’t use words like “create systems”, “processes” and “clutter management” … it just doesn’t sound like fun to me, and I would like to show you that it can actually be very fun and refreshing to learn how to get your home to a place that makes you happy.  It’s that simple.  No stuffy processes required.  Just you, me, some music, a full belly and perhaps a glass of sparkling water to toast your new way of simple living.</em></p>
