Divas Gail, Judi and Karen just had one of the most fabulous TIFF - Toronto International Film Festival - weekends ever!

 

Along the way, they learned a few life lessons and had lots of laughs doing it!

 

In this newsletter, we usually share tips, tricks and techniques about downsizing and organizing; this month's newsletter is very Diva-like -- it's all about US!!!

 

We work with some of the best people in the whole world and today we want to share one of our favourite TIFF tales that we call...

 

WhaTIFF?

 

WhaTIFF...we had bought our tickets online to The Railway Man?

We would never have had to line up in the RUSH LINE on the day the film premiered -- 4-1/2 hours before the screening actually began!

 

WhaTIFF...Gail and Karen had not gone to Hateship, Loveship?

There would have been three people in the line and not just Judi!

 

WhatTIFF...Judi had not been her usual take-charge self?

She would never have had the nerve to create her own Rush Line - with only an orange pylon to work with. Make no mistake, Judi drew the line in the sand and stood right behind it!

 

WhaTIFF...Judi had not "caught the fish" (carpe diem)?

She could have wandered aimlessly around until someone actually came over and plunked down the sign to identify the start of the line.

 

WhaTIFF...Judi had not been chatty and so darn friendly?

She would never have struck up a conversation with Moira and Sheila (two Scottish sisters) who lined up behind her.

 

WhaTIFF...the Divas hadn't continued to talk to the people in line?

They would never have discovered that Moira's childhood friend in Scotland was none other than...the real Railway Man's daughter!

 

WhaTIFF...they hadn't invited the sisters to join them for dinner?

They would never have met such interesting people and shared a unique connection to the wonderful film that they had just seen.

 

WhaTIFF...?
