Arrived a little early, so I could take the opportunity to attend other talks and explore the stalls providing advice, remedies and mindful experiences. Every was there to help each other in some way, and I could feel it a few minutes before my session. I took the time to grab a drink and go over the amended content I put together for this specific show, there would be less time for questions and audience participation, so I had to pick only the most powerful slides and deliver quicker than I had done in the past. My preference is always smaller crowds, as people can connect better with the material

and, more importantly, me, each other. Before I start, I quickly scan the room to see how people settle in some take out no books. Mothers chat between themselves, some say, quietly. Looking at me in the screen patiently. Waiting for the show to begin is quick analysis of human behaviour and strangers together Allow me to choose how to begin, throw the session Let people nodding along who are resonating with the message. I look for smiles and wide eyed offerings like I am speaking to them directly. The more outgoing and braver individuals are quick to share their own clutter examples and advice, and the space provides them safety to do that. What has happened now is the time comes to an end.

Herself, cosmetics, snacks bottles books, magazines, spare, clothing and purses are just some of the items you retrieves and shows me. The purses both slightly discoloured, are bursting at the seams with receipts and heavy with coins.

Bottles of water or unfinished. The bystanders shuffling closer on cautiously checking the weight of their own bags awaiting the outcome of this conversation, expecting a magical piece of advice but none is required. This highly intelligent lady just talk to me see her going on her own journey, exploring She arrived into this situation to discover that there was more long term detriment that she has been blue into all along the stuff, also around everyday forged.
