I recently went to the annual NAPO conference and expo. It was a wonderful experience. There were so many inspirational people there. One was Tim Sanders, our keynote speaker. He spoke of making better connections with people. That we should "Multiply the Value" of these relationships. That people should be better off for knowing us.

His speech definitely made me think of how I can make the world a better place.

As a mother, I make it my goal in life to help my children become excellent, productive, loving adults. By showing them how to help themselves and others, they will, in turn, make the world a better place by not being a burden on society, but make positive changes to it.

As a professional organizer, it is my passion to help people tame the chaos in their lives that keep them from starting, focusing on, and/or completing the important works that they need and want to do for the world. It is so hard to concentrate on the big picture when you are buried under clutter, or can't find your important papers, or even your keys to get you out the door on time! Bringing peace and harmony to people's lives, in my opinion, is important work. It may not directly feed the hungry, provide employment to those in need, or stop wars from starting, but I think it does make a positive change on people's lives.

As a person, I pride myself on my integrity. People who know me, know that I will always tell them the truth. I stand by my word, no matter what. I also assume the best in people. Not to the point of naivity, but to the point that I want to think that most people are good at their core. That they are not malicious, but truly want the right thing (even though I may not agree with them on how to get there).

Everyone can make a difference in the world, whether it be small or large. You can read Tim Sanders' tweets on Twitter: @sanderssays
