I Am Back, and Better and more sure than ever!

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.

I only recommend or share things I know or research myself., and if a problem arises I am on hand to help resolve issues.  I feel it is the "best practice" and hope others will do the same with me.

Facebook is not all just goofing off...Ministering is going on too!

Many people (who have not tried) facebook feel like it is just another way people waste time and goof off. Some people that use facebook have similar feeling, but it is a tool or opportunity that you have to control, utilize and purpose to be productive and to glorify God, if not it could just be a waste of time, another temptation to share or say things that are not filled with love and godliness. Well, there are awesome applications that actually are productive and spiritual.

Facebook has been a productive and encouraging addition to my life and when used properly has increased the connection with our family and friends that live out of state. We have been able to share silly and minor events in our life that we would not have been able to share with those that do not use email (I know, it is strange but there are those who don't) but the facebook is so much easier and quicker to share. It has consolidated files and made storage easier, connecting and reconnecting with friends has been so much fun and filled a need very easily.

There are bible applications, you can send scriptures encouragers (like cards but have a scripture on them), there are bible translations you can read, there is an awesome Bible study with the Greek text, it teaches you to translate, you can listen to the greek being read. Study and share your notes with friends. And, there are christians that are sharing encouragement and the great revelations God has given them as they study. There are several people who post notes of spiritual messages, many christian blogs.

Here is one person that I have met through facebook that inspires, shares the words and lives for Christ and professes it through facebook.

Debbie Griffith wrote:
I’m passionate to help others see who Jesus is by sharing my stories which bring a testimony to God’s power in my everyday life. Jesus promises in John 16:13, "When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide us into all truth." Well it’s only through the surrender of self to Christ that truth becomes more and more understandable...and it's a continuous surrender, not a strike of lightning and everything makes sense.

It’s also a great reminder for those of us who are passionate about loving others into the kingdom. We have to be careful not to be so far from the people of the world that what we say becomes incomprehensible to them. It’s being in the world but not of it. So we can't close our eyes and block off the bad things that are happening, pretending children aren't abused or that adultery isn’t committed. We must choose to fight evil, not with our power but by His Spirit with love and truth…everyday.

What a great Truth, encouragement and a message that is seen by all of her friends, and their friends and.....

God can work through us in ways we do not even think about, as long as we are walking, talking and doing things that can bring him glory.

Are you trying to maintain relationship? Do you want to start new ones?

What minor steps can you take to make your life glorifying and accessing to others?

What do you do to share your testimony (the story of what Christ has done for you (Salvation) and is doing for you?

How do you minister to others?

If you have questions, need help finding applications or figuring out things, comment below, email me or find me on facebook I would love to help you "utilize" facebook for good and see its potential.

I am Published!!! Thank you for your support :)




My poem that many of you voted on, "Love Made Me Do It" has been included in an Anthology of Poetry, titled "Collected Whispers" published by International Library of Poetry.

It came in the mail today and it was kind of neat to see it "published". This poem says alot of how I was feeling and thinking and is deep down from the heart.

Thank you for those that encouraged me to write and submit it just to see it, even if nothing ever came from it. And, for going on and voting for it in the "Rate this Poem Contest". This has been fun and lead to the blog and I really have enjoyed your feed back.

You can read the poem on the website at http://www.poetry.com/dotnet/P8778475/999/1/display.aspx

Uniquely orgainzed and utilized

(edited July 3, 2008; grammatical improved :)

I have received inquires about my homeschool slideshow. I make these myself. I love doing them just for fun and I discovered I can store a lot of information on CDs and DVDs and reduce many boxes and notebooks. So, I have started a way for me to share my passion, gift and talent with the computer and devices that is in keeping with my hearts desire to help people and share something positive and benefical and make legacies.


My new endeavor sums me up in three words, (oh stop!!! and that was only 2 :) Uniquely Organized and Utilized, one of my biggest challenges with traditional organization is to start you have to throw away stuff, and it is just not my style. If something is still useful or meaningful I want to find it a proper use or a good home, where the item is used and enjoyed. My pictures and momentoes are very, very important to me as a symbol and inspiration, so I need to be able to see them and use my treasures frequently, so I found MY "system" and it works pretty well. I want to share it with those who may be struggling with traditional organization too, and need a caring, understanding assistant to help them find "their system".

One part of my system is the CD and DVD slideshows and they can even be beneficial to the organized person just looking for a fun, functional way to store and use their pictures or lessons for school, they make great gifts too.
