I actually look forward to “getting worked out of a job” with a client. To me, this means that we have successfully completed the project, the person has new techniques and habits established, they are happily focusing on that which is most important to them and are getting things done effectively. Life has transformed from chaos to calm for them.

I am grateful for these experiences with my clients. It is through helping others find harmony and then celebrating their success that I live my life passion. A delightful woman, Melinda White-Bronson, captured this “getting worked out of a job” moment in her poem titled, “Our World Class Garden and You”. I share it with you below with her permission.

Our World Class Garden and You

We have a world class view from our garden
and our garden is beautiful, too, thanks to you.

I love to take pictures in our garden
-you laugh at me-
but it is so beautiful through the view finder:
I frame and enjoy your work in this garden,
the beautiful flowers, sun-lit grasses, the lake, and the mountains beyond…
but there, in every frame I want to shoot, there is your work
in progress: the garbage can (for compost)
the wheelbarrow, tarps, and garden tools…
and I know that on the day when I can photograph
a picture perfect garden without moving clutter,
I will be missing you.
