    About this ebook

    On one level, The Spirit of Getting Organized is about sorting papers and using file folders. But, there's more to life than a neat office. After years in the field of professional organizing, Pamela Kristan realized that organizing was a doorway, an opportunity to find personal power and meaning.

    Organizing is an intimate encounter with life's everyday details that has the power to engage us profoundly with our soul, with our world, and with the farthest reaching, grandest patterns of Nature. Rather than pulling us away from spiritual work with mundane chores, organizing can draw us into the cosmos.

    Including pages for recording observations and exercise results, as well as a vast section of resources for developing order both internally and externally, The Spirit of Getting Organized can transform a dreadful chore like cleaning out your closet into an opportunity for an intimate encounter with your true self.

      The Spirit of Getting Organized12 Skills to Find Meaning & Power in Your StuffUse Life's Everyday Details to Become Effective,Engaged, and Awareby Pamela KristanYes, Yes, Yes, this book rocks. I am the world's worst clutterer and I have finally found a book that could give me a good enough reason and a clear enough direction so that I could move on to bigger and cleaner things. There are butterflies, and wonderful exercises, and step by step methods and suggestions that really opened my eyes. Did you know there is such a thing as "Spiritual Storing"? I was amazed at how patient the author was as she guided me through the different thought processes and also she helped me see that I wasn't a "bad person", but someone that just got lost in the energy of my own stuff. For anyone out there who has been looking for some straight up help and support in the organizing arena then I think you will be very pleased with this useful little ditty. Thanks, Pamela from the bottom of my better organized heart.Love & Light,Riki Frahmann
