		About the Egret Logo: In the spring of 2007 I attended the NAPO conference in Minneapolis. Can you imagine 800 professional organizers in one room?! Need I add that the event was very organized? Afterwards, while touring the backroads of Minnesota in my rental car, I observed an egret taking flight. I thought, That's it! The feeling of getting organized! Of freedom from clutter. Of being able to relax, exhale, appreciate life, enjoy one's space, and reach one's goals. Thus I was inspired to create the egret logo. My business cards are now less corporate looking and have a more personal feel. I hope you are inspired too!
