Lisa (my 31 sister) is taking supplies to Hurricane Helene survivors in the mountains of North Carolina.

I’m collecting sponsorships and mailing totes to her from 31. She appreciates the sturdiness of the totes and the sustainability factor. The families receiving the totes of supplies can reuse these large utility totes over and over again.

We are utilizing our large utility tote with a sponsorship of only $20 each. My Kim’s Get Organized group has sponsored a total of 24 totes so far and I have a goal of 100 by Friday morning.

Thank you Sandy O, Mary, Roberta, Sandy M, Paula L, Betty C. For sponsoring! You are truly making a difference in the lives of families who have lost everything. I am also sponsoring 5.

Please message me if you have questions or if you’d like to help. My Venmo is https://venmo.com/u/KimOtto

A quote from Lisa:
…”And most importantly …pray. The media will never share what is really happening here.

Hey y’all! I’m right here in the thick of things in NC!!!!! today I’m working out of our Fraternal Order of Police and when I say we are in desperate need of totes…..that doesn’t even put it mildly. I’m loading up to go serve 95 displaced families in the mountains this afternoon and I only have 16 totes and I have exhausted every 31 tote I have this week. I appreciate those of you that are supporting this effort to get us totes. This room I’m in has been full to the ceiling all week and we have more coming in and no way to give it to people than just placing it in their hands. So again, I appreciate those of you that are getting totes here!”

Have you ever been scared to death, but found the courage and did it anyways? This quote makes me think about when I was in 8th or 9th grade and my horse, Jasmine, threw me at the park while we were waiting in line for the parade.

I was wearing my lavender pants with pockets and my lavender and white striped shirt. Jasmine looked dapper with his lavender and white feathers hanging from his halter. I was relaxed letting the sun embrace me; he was relaxed as he grazed on the green park grass. A gentle breeze blew his lavender and white feathers across his line of vision and BAM! I was laying on the ground, bewildered, with grass-stained lavender pants. If I had been wearing make-up it would have been running down my dusty cheeks.

If it wasn't for my dad's encouragement and information about why I needed to saddle back up, I may have walked away from riding a horse ever again. Instead, I put my left foot in the stirrup, grabbed the horn, and swung my right leg up and over the saddle.

When Jasmine and I finished the last block of the city parade, I felt more confident to ride horses and probably other things in life now that I think about it. I could have walked away with grass-stained lavender pants, a sore back end, and tears rolling. I would have remembered that vs. riding my horse and showing him who's boss, as my dad would say. Jasmine and I even got a ribbon!

As I am writing this, it reminds me of coaching. As a coach, I help you saddle back up and ride the horse. It's not just saying, "Get on the horse!" It is breaking it down, providing curated information, helping you get unstuck from where you are and a non-judgement zone (think Planet Fitness). I don't tell you what to do but I do ask powerful questions which can provide empowerment and decrease the stress of life. I encourage you and hold you accountable. There is so much JOY in coaching.

I have just 9 more spots left for private coaching and would be happy to text or chat with you to see if coaching is a good fit.
I am also working on creating some courses.

I would love for you to be part of my email list so you can be the first to have access to them. I will also send an occasional encouraging email. If you could sign up for my emails, this is an easy link to do that: https://www.simplifyurday.com/signup You will receive a confirmation email. Please watch for that and confirm so you don't miss anything.

Have a great weekend!
