back to normal :) well, semi-normal
I have been feeling pretty unbalanced and abnormal for the past couple weeks, mainly because of CSP’s Staging Convention in Toronto, San Mateo County’s Housing Expo as well as wrapping up the Sustainable Building Advisor class this past weekend.
I am actually very happy to report that while in Toronto, we (Staged4more) actually won Green Bud Business of the Year award! In additions, CSP unveiled the eStager course that I authored, which is a technology 101 course for stagers of all backgrounds and denomiations (for more of my tech work, you can go to smallbizgurltalkstech.com). It was a very nice trip indeed and seeing old friends in the staging world.

We also participated in the San Mateo Housing Expo that SAMCAR (our realtor association) hosted. It was really nice to meet a lot of visitors and agents. Also got some real great questions in regards to our Live Green Live Smart green training, which is now approved by Califiornia DRE for 8 CEUs for Realtors.

And YES! Finally finished up my Sustainable Building Advisor class! (Well, almost anyway. Exam in June) I really cannot believe 10 months passed so quickly. It felt bittersweet to finish up the class. It was a really robust and well-rounded program, although we could definitely do more work on social equity in green building, like affordable housing issues, etc. All and all it was a great green education. It definitely touched on a lot of the science behind green building. I appreciate while there were philosophical debates, but that was not the focus of the course. I personally feel there are just too much philosophical debates in the green world sometimes. It can get quite frustrating.
Now that these major milestones are achieved… back to our regular programming ;)
