So sorry it has been so long since my last post. Building the business AND getting back to a healthy state with my Fibromyalgia proved to be a little tougher than I thought but, I figured it out and some exciting things are coming together.
Today I posted this on Facebook and worked and updating and connecting all my pieces... I am one gal and will function best organized and able to share whatever is happening so connect with whichever profiles you like, they are clearly identified and will reflect appropriate posts.
Looking forward to connecting with you and sharing information, tips and services.
Sincerely,
Dot A. Wiggins "Uniquely Dot" Professionally
Dorothy Ann Herdman Wiggins Personally
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So excited about the future of Uniquely Organized and Utilized, and the full launch of myself professional as Dot A. Wiggins "Uniquely Dot". I was quite surprised how few of my family and friends understood and realized what it was that I do and how UOU came about. :) Well, the blog explains it on the tab, The Rest of the Story of UOU, click here to go there: http://uniquelyorganizedandutilized.blogspot.com/p/rest-of-story-of-uou.html
The best compliment came from a long time friend, "Dot, I had no idea"!
and that is exactly what I wanted. For years I pulled muscles and
stressed into panic attacks to just be "weird and annoying" instead of
letting on that I had "issues or disabilities" while helping my son with
his "Special needs" I deepended my disdain for labels and excuses for
people to treat you different or lesser of a person because you OPENLY
asked for assistance or for Clarification before making a mess that
might not be so easy or fun to clean up. I am a communicator and
passionate about productivity, utilization and PEOPLE helping People,
that is what UOU, Uniquely Organized and Utilized is all about. It is
our "WHY", our mission and our passion. Most things are listed in one
of our publications and most translate, so if you have a task or
project, I can help get it done, WITH YOU! or For you. #UniquelyDot #UniquelyOrganiz #UniquelyOrganizedandUtilized
LIKE, Comment and SHARE to make me smile :)
Thank you for reading and sharing.

DOT is more than a name it is an abbreviation, with lots of meaning
People say the craziest things! and some say things completely unaware of what the words they use really mean. It does not pay to quarrel and argue and it is not healthy either.
I keep getting told I need to do things for myself and think about what I am doing and quit being so hard-headed and fighting for things for other people. And at first I just reduce to tears, become dejected and confused and then angry and perplexed.
After reviewing it over and over looking for the lesson and the meaning that can be helpful.. I am seeing the humor in the fact that people that should know ME! and what I STAND FOR and have PASSION to do that say this sound so funny... cause when you look at it.. They are making an oxymoron statements and when they are "Highly Educated and Successful people it just makes me giggle, and that is not an easy feat. My husband and son have made it a challenge to see if they can make me laugh at their brand of humor and rarely they do, but when they get the smallest chuckle they are happy and proclaim they made the stone laugh.
Three things were drilled into me at a young age:
God, Truth and Doing the Right things.. one of which is helping others and working hard.
Thinking before you speak and act... Thinking about others especially family and friends... and doing what you can to help and make a difference. If you weren't using something find someone who needed/wanted it. If someone was getting rid of something help them find someone to pass it onto. We were so honored that someone thought of us and gave us their stuff and we returned that favor. It was just the way things were done. and like the saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it... This way of life was fullfilling, full of community, companionship and activity. Someone was always doing something and could use an extra hand, or they wanted to do something but needed help and didn't want to bother anyone, but when offered, help was ALWAYS accepted, appreciated and reciprocated.
The Name says it all, D. O. T ( ) a full circle..
Determined/Dedicated
Optomistic/Open-minded (to the point of clashing with rules or hurting someone)
Tenacious (holding onto something, for me its my BIBLE and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit)
I found this article and loved the explanation and even the discussion about the version (translation) of the Bible is discussed and explained. It does matter. "If you don't stand for something and hold on to something (WORTHY and TRUE) you will fall and fall hard for anything. Literally dedicating and determining to be True and available is not a flaw or a "poor decision". I am following a great example, which is what I claim to be when I align myself with Him and claim the benefits and blessings promised to those that believe in Jesus Christ. I say all the time, I AM NOT Perfect and most of the time I am not even great but my desire and intentions are pure and I try to be all that is good.
http://www.creationscienceseminars.org/bible_transl.pdf
If you claim to know ME, and proclaim to love me, I pray you mean the 1 Corinthians 13 kind, which is not a moment kind of thing and requires "special handling". That is what I mean when I claim you as a Friend and when I say I love you. I stumble and bumble it, but I usually apologize for at least hurting the person or not being able to support their venture of activity but I am always supporting them. I truthfully answer what I think about something and try to influence a moment of reflection and reevaluation of a plan that seems to be contrary to the persons stated beliefs and heart. Once they state "this is what I mean and exactly how I plan to proceed" I make my position known and do what I can and still find ways to associate and be a part of other things.
Not asking for approval anymore, when I ask for opinions I am hoping for the same fairness and effort to look at things and point out any "areas of concern" or possible adversities to see if they can be avoided with better planning, different resources or more assistance that I give (when asked) otherwise, I try to encourage and support the person and ALWAYS pray for them and ask God to reveal the path HE WANTS them on and help them get where they need to be. He usually gives me a little sign or confirmation of what I need to say or do, sometimes I am lead to do or say something I don't want to do or the hardest thing is when I am pulled back and given a pause to do nothing but pray. When I obey all works out well, if I try to do something in my own then things get messy until I correct my behaviors. People don't like it when you tell them you are lead to do something different than what they want but... the TRUTH sets us free from the should, could would wobble... Jeremiah 29:11 is more than just words, it is a lifestyle, a comfort and a compass for those who believe like Ephesians 3:20 says, HE IS ABLE TO DO MORE THAN WE CAN ASK OR THINK, According to His Will (the Father in Heaven, whom we all serve!).
Finally making peace that people may not understand or like the way I am but I bank on a different economy and I only need Him to approve of me and to support me and I am honoring my name and My UNIQUE way. He has lead me this far, I have dedicated and obeyed on steps that don't make sense to me either. THIS IS NOT THE PLAN I Made, this is the plan HE HAS FOR ME! and that He is leading me on... if I can deal with it those that truly Love me will have to accept it to. Walk by Faith NOT BY SIGHT is not for the weak and for those that go for anything and will take less than THAT WHICH HE WILL ADD unto you. Scriptures are meant to be lived out loud at some point in the walk, not just posted on the walls and in our notebooks, memorized and quoted.. We are commanded to do several things, KNOW that HE IS GOD, HAVE NO OTHER GOD's before him, OBEY HIS Precepts & Instructions, Tell & Teach others to live according to HIS precepts & Instructions, LOVE others,speak in love, speak only words of life and encouragement, PRAY Ceaselessly, and REJOICE always, Come to Him with THANKSGIVING for ALL THINGS... quite a daunting job...but with HIM leading and changing our hearts is eventually comes together and IS POSSIBLE.
I don't need to stand up for myself because Jesus stood for me once, and on judgement day He will stand again.. I CHOOSE to stand for Christ and do that which He leads me to do...and if that is weird, offensive and wrong.. I don't want to be right!

Pieces are coming together........ and a beautiful picture is forming
Well it has been awhile, lots of adjustment, planning, evaluating, re-adjusting, trial and error and now.. it is time for an update...
Going to hit the highlights and present that Praises and Positive ~~~~~
Totally a believer in the saying "Success is not permanent and Failure is not fatal" I would not be here if it was, and well successes are to be celebrated but not taken for granted or assume they will last. Steps have to be taken to maintain and solve problems that threaten your status. Planning is essential.
After alot of work and preparation. August 21, 2012, I stepped out on faith and launched my hearts desire packaged into a business, Uniquely Organized and Utilized, which utilizes relationships both personal and professional that I have made through several outreach projects including a charitable/civic group I created Bright Minds Helping Hands and Holy Hearts and a Cedar Creek Creative Cooperative for professional and Creative artists, crafters and workers of all walks of life. I am simplifing life and trying to improve all things I am involved with and have change alot in all these organizations.
Moving forward the business is doing well, had clients, retained a few, completed the contract of a few and chose not to renew a few. In addition to the Consultant-Coach, Organizing and Assisting services we are now offering Healthcare, Dental, Prescription and Buying power discount memberships with Ameriplan Inc. See website and Facebook page for more information. We are on a few social media lists, we tweet, Google+, We are listed on Merchant Circle.com, Manta.com, and Findmyorganizer.com. Everyday I take steps to build, grow, learn and excel to meet My goals and achieve the ultimate goal, prosperity for myself, my family and the communities I have developed. Through meeting people and listening to their visions and seeing their resolve through the lonely and unsuccessful times I have been re-energized and refocused on the plan. Re-evaluated, readjusted and formed the fresh and inviting plan, utilizing my talents and skills and technology I have found my path, and am moving forward.

Stepped out on faith and walking toward prosperity ~~
Well, if you follow me on Facebook or my other blog Uniquely Organized and Utilized you saw my "It's been a long time coming" posts. I wanted to try and pull all the pieces of my life together for a while now and had tried a few things that did not yield the results I was needing. I Always pray, but really started earnestly praying, wholeheartedly and deeply.. even, asked several faithful and believing prayer warriors to pray with me and for me and viola' an answer that had come up before and I dismissed because of the scope and risk but, God has worked on me in major ways and I was finally ready to believe in HIS WAYS, and HIS TIMING and HIS patience with such a twit! ha ha.. He generously gave me my burning bush and confirmations that could not mean anything else... So I finally obeyed and moved! I AM A BUSINESS OWNER! oh my, and the anxiety has been raging but I know HE IS guiding my steps and leading me to the things that I need. I have skills and knowledge that has been cast off because no one else desired it, but it is a large part of me and it is important to me. I will now be able to inventory and utilize ALL of my files, books, skills, talents and most importantly my desire to learn new things and help people every step of the way. Excitement and anticipation does not seem to describe the feelings I have right now, but I have alot and will be rolling out this through my Business that I have done all along and just never really got the rewards and acknowledgement. I freely give and jump in to assist anyone who seems to need it, whether they show they want it or appreciate it. Now I can promote and network with others that believe as I do and enter into the cooperative community I have been looking for and had not found.
Please join me and partner with me in whichever group that best suits you. The business & Professional group (FOR PAYMENT) Uniquely Organized and Utilized Blog/ or Uniquely Organized and Utilized Facebook Page or the community service and benevolent group Bright Minds Helping Hands and Holy Hearts blog .
