Connections – September 2010

Hello members!

Wow! September is here.  Kids are going back to school and personally, I feel recharged and motivated to start this last quarter of the year with a bang!!  With Summer behind us, attending more networking events and getting to see all of you is something I have been looking forward to!  Now on with our Connections!

Loraine Fields of The Flower Mill sends a heartfelt thank you to Janet LaBerge from Dirty Deeds for the fantastic work station she received for her shop, as well as for the twin beds she found for Loraine’s grandkids!  Janet rules!   Loraine also sends a big thank-you to Gwen Morgan of The What If Workbook for her hydrangeas. Loraine also writes, “Thank you to Marguerite Salvucci of South Coastal Bank for allowing me to provide the floral decor for her daughter’s wedding.  That was a huge vote of confidence for a new business owner!”

Our new president, Janet Laberge from Dirty Deeds would like to thank Beth York of Beth York Real Estate for hiring Dirty Deeds to remove items from their lovely home — and for the introduction to Wonder Dog, Bella.  Janet also sends a big thank you to Michael Christopher and the technicians at My Tech for the new HP laptop.  “My five-year-old Dell desk top was slower than cold molasses, so now I’m operating at super speed!”  she said.  Thanks to Ewa Deveney of Studio 123 in Norwell, who keeps Dirty Janet a little less facially dirty every month.   “I gave my 16-year-old son a facial for his birthday and he LOVED it.  The best part of it for me was hearing Ewa say how polite he was.  As long as he can do the right thing in public, I guess we’re on the right road.  Thanks for your kind words Ewa!”  Janet said.

“Thanks to Sharon Fisher of Come to Order Organizing for her referral to a very nice woman in Rockland who needed some heavy stuff removed in order to prepare her home for sale.  Thanks to Cathi Burke of Angel Light for doing an Angel Reading for me.  I wanted to get a reading done because I didn’t quite understand what an Angel reading was and want to be able to refer business to members.  Now that I have experienced a reading, I can tell you that I am glad that I did.  I now have a road map for my entire year and I know what challenges I will face and what I can do to move the process along.  Now I know that not everyone is a believer in things you can’t see, but I have always believed that there is good energy and bad energy out there in the world and I want to know how to attract and send out positive energy.  Cathi’s reading made total sense for where I am as a parent, a business person and your President.  The great news for the Network is that it was a very positive reading with lots of GREAT things to come in the year ahead, which is exactly what I am predicting too.  No matter what you believe in, if you project out into the world that you want good things to happen and come your way, all the research shows that it is more likely to happen for you than if you project fear, uncertainty or negativity,” said Janet.

She added, “Thank you to Becky Coletta of Coletta Law Offices in Hanover for referring a friend who needed a clean-out.  Her friend has had a difficult time letting go of stuff from her parent’s house in order to have it ready to go on the market, and it was a pleasure to be able to help her work through this process.  Thanks Becky for trusting me to help with this.

“Thanks also to Deborah Larson of Spascape Day Spa in Scituate for hiring Dirty Deeds for several clean-out projects.  Deb is opening a new spa in the Pine Hills, so she has been unable to come to any of our events, but she promises me that she will be able to start coming this fall.  I thought that I was the Pay It Forward person.  Talk to Deb for a few minutes and hear the kind of give-back that she does for her community and has been doing all of her life.  I am so pleased to welcome a person of this caliber to our network.

“Thanks to Monica Horan of Express Staffing, who will be working with Dirty Deeds to provide the extra muscle needed on bigger jobs by sending over temporary workers.  My back and knees thank you!  Thanks to Francine Jeffers of Setting the Space (my friend Blair Hamaty’s business) for referring Dirty Deeds to a friend who is preparing a parent’s home for sale and needed the emotional support and onsite physical lifting that we could provide.

Katie Howard of SSWBN would like the thank Tom Johnston of Cartridge World. We ordered some cartridges for our printer and Tom delivered them within a half hour! WOW! Great service … plus it makes us feel good to be reusing cartridges rather than sending them to a landfill!

Patty Funder of LaserLight for Men and Women thanks Lisa Marie Williams of Lisa Marie’s Boutique for the quick, on-the-spot adjustment she did on her daughter’s dress, just before she had to fly out to CA for a wedding.  “My daughter had worked hard in a weight management program to lose 20 pounds and was quite proud of herself.  Getting a dress to fit well made her feel so good — for the first time in a long while,” said Patty.  “Lisa Marie interrupted her busy schedule to do this job – what difference to my daughter!”

Let’s get out there this month and have a stellar 4^th quarter!!!
