Recently I wrote a post about being a Proverbs 31 woman with a crooked halo. I told you I am in the process of becoming more organized but have not arrived. Let me introduce you to Professional Organizer, Beverly Coggins. I had the wonderful opportunity to review her seven mini books on organization for Christian Women Online. I learned a lot about organization gleaming from her knowledge. Now she is announcing a new release in 1-2-3…Get Organized series! Head on over to her site check it out….then return for my giveaway.
______________________________________________________
Now after thinking about organizing I get overwhelmed and I need to sit and plan. When I sit and plan I need my cup of comfort. If you are like me and enjoy cups of comfort then you will love my next giveaway.
One lucky winner will win:
—One 1 lb of Starbucks Coffee© “Breakfast Blend.” It is whole bean (not ground) but if you need it ground take it to any Starbucks and they will do it for you for free.
—One cup to enjoy your cup of comfort.
—One 8oz bag of boca java© “Ocean Drive” ground coffee. If you have never had boca java© it is excellent. My brother got me hooked on it. And I figured since I live in Florida I would send a little ocean your way.
To enter this giveaway tell me one thing about Beverly’s new release announcement.
See you tomorrow for more giveaways, tell your friends.
Just so you know those who read me in a feedreader or subscribed for my blog updates via email knew ahead of time what I was giving away. (on the feedreader it is at the very bottom of the post).

Three Steps to Becoming a Downsizing Professional ! This manual is a complete guide to starting a downsizing business, marketing it, and learning the nuts and bolts of downsizing.
Hi Laurel! I’m sitting here drinking my second cup of Starbuck’s Kenya – but love Breakfast Blend, also.
Beverly’s books have been a tremendous asset to me over the past several months. I have several already, and I can tell that this new one about becoming a Down-sizing professional consultant would be very helpful. For one reason, I need it myself. For another reason, the people I minister to are poor and living in very small, cramped quarters. I think if I were to get her latest book it may help me to create a new evening class for our folks.
Have a great day.
The 17th book in the series– This manual is a complete guide to starting a downsizing business, marketing it, and learning the nuts and bolts of downsizing.
Oh, I’d love a chance to win this manual it is a very detailed, comprehensive plan of how to start a business, no previous experience necessary.
Since this new release has the nuts and bolts of downsizing in it, it would be perfect for me. My husband just moved his law practice to our home and I could use some great help in getting more organized and this book sounds like it would fit the bill. Thanks for doing this.
I read your review on Beverly’s book and being a stay at home mommy to six, I could use this book on organization!
She wrote, “I have found this to be a very rewarding and fulfilling career, helping people downsize to a smaller residence.” I love the idea of this. We live in a society where more is more, but I’m learning that less is more for me. I would love to have my name thrown in the hat to win this excellent giveaway.
It is “a complete guide to starting a downsizing business, marketing it, and learning the nuts and bolts of downsizing.”
Since I love drinking coffee, I have to post a comment. Beverly is releasing a new manual on the complete guide to starting a downsizing business and she seems to have much experience. She will share the nuts and bolts of it and the marketing aspect too. Sounds good.

Thanks for the chance to win the coffee! I am a coffee-junkie.
Love Coffee!! Beverly’s book is to help those looking to find a niche as 76 million Baby Boomers are set to hit retirement age in the next 20 years per her site.

Holy cow. 76 million Baby Boomers in retirement in 20 years is a ton of people who will be looking for the fountain of youth!
You know I love me some coffee!
It’s title is Three Steps to becoming a Downsizing Professional. It’s #17 in the 123…Get Organized series. It draws on her years of trial and error.
Oh boy do I love coffee! Thanks for the great giveaways!
Great giveaway again today! Thanks for putting all of this together. It’s fun!
Wow! We downsized and flippd twice in order to eliminate debt — but I never thought that might be a source of information for others. What a great organizing mind Colleen has, and I’m glad she is willing to share it in her book series. This one about starting a downsizing business looks particularly interesting!
“This manual is a complete guide to starting a downsizing business, marketing it, and learning the nuts and bolts of downsizing”
She has a lot of resources.
Sounds like Beverly could teach me a thing or two about becoming a professional organizer. Who know you could make that a busisness. Sounds interesting.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Beverly’s latest book is about becoming a professional in the downsizing genre: someone who tells others how to live simpler lives.
I had to chuckle at this too as far as the baby boomers go and all the stuff over the years they have collected, I laugh because my mother is in her 60′s and she is trying to down size her stuff so she is sending it all to us kids….lol my poor kids will then have to suffer when I go to pass my stuff to them Ha Ha…. Loved her site and hope to win lol. Here is an excerpt of what I got from the place and about the 1 2 3 Organize book..
As 76 million Baby Boomers reach retirement age in the next 20 years, this is a growing niche for both new and experienced organizers. I have found this to be a very rewarding and fulfilling career, helping people downsize to a smaller residence.
About the Manual
Drawing upon my years of experience in downsizing (my specialty), I want to make the journey for others quicker and easier than my own trial and error method. Included in the package is
- a CD containing contracts, intake interviews – all the forms you will need
- a DVD comprised of proven techniques and methods needed for downsizing
- a buyer’s guide for recommended products
- and a membership to our members-only blog designed to provide a forum for sharing ideas, asking questions, and getting support from me and other downsizing professionals.
I love coffee!! (almost as much as I love fall!)
And I love the way that Beverly is using her God-given talent to teach and lift-up other women! Her new book is all about starting your own organizing business.
Hope you have a wonderful day
Well, it is a guide to downsizing a business. Now, I have no business experience, so that probably isn’t the book I would need, but I’m sure there are many folks out there that could use a good plan.
I have been drinking coffee all summer (which is odd for me, I usually skip coffee in the hot months, but I need the caffeine this year) but I LOVE drinking hot drinks when the weather gets cooler.
One thing about Beverly’s release announcement:
“As 76 million Baby Boomers reach retirement age in the next 20 years, this is a growing niche for both new and experienced organizers.”
I would LOVE to win the Starbucks coffee. I would be in Heaven!!!

Downsizing – for Baby Boomers & others.
Beverly’s also having a giveaway: “In light of the launch of Three Steps to Becoming a Downsizing Professional, I wanted to celebrate by having a week of giveaways. Each day from September 2-9, I’ll be giving away one of my books.”
*Thanks* for the giveaway!
A book about downsizing, what a great thought. My office could use some serious help with that. I need that book just as much as I need the free coffee in the giveaway!
Beverly’s new book about downsizing for the professional caught my interest right away. My office is moving, we’re going from leasing to owning and we have grown from 5 to 16 employees in the last several years so we need more space. Now – how to keep from buying too much “stuff” for that space… Maybe a good tip or two in her book.
Beverly is having a week of giveaways also. You have to enter on actual day!
