Milestones


Milestones are interesting.  

They are a marker in time.  
A stopping point.  
A time for evaluation & reflection.

40 years on this Earth.  
It seems like a lot of time & yet…
often it feels like those forty years just gave me a start on the path.  
They were my learning and growing years.  My trying on and figuring out years.  

Lots of contemplation & frustration.  
Lots of wonder & growth, but lots of inner struggle over who I am and how I want to live.  

Growing older can be a tough road for some.  For me, it has been a journey to find & stay true to my inner truth, my inner core.  40 years of experiences that have given me a lot of perspective & understanding into my place, my gifts, my beliefs. 

I feel like this milestone has given me permission to move forward with less angst and more trust.  Less questioning and more knowing.  

I want to thank those 40 years for their patience as I worked to find myself-find out what I like, what I need, how I want to be.  I am committed to moving ahead knowing that I have the strength & courage to make choices that are “right” for me now.  

Thank you 40 years.  
You grew & shaped, you waited & pushed.  You knew I needed time to work through it all & you offered wonderful opportunities to help me find my way.


Let's chat.


Are you facing a milestone soon or is there a big transition in your future?  
Are any revelations rising about your journey to this point in time?
 What do you feel grateful for as you turn the page?

Letting go & holding on- how you can do both at the same time

Everyday I am thinking about letting go.  My days are spent in sessions with clients, or reading about decluttering tips, or writing blog posts, all in an effort to support clients as they let go of clutter and unwanted habits.  Letting go is something that I have made into my life's work, but never is it more "in my face" than when I sit with my grandma at the nursing home.  My grandma has Dementia/Alzheimers.  I don't even know what or which or why or how, but I do know that it seems we have lost her to the disease and letting go & holding on are happening all at once. As I sit and watch her sleep, I can stroke her hand and feel the many memories of playing Go to the Dump or Crazy Eight on my days off of Kindergarten, getting a home perm in her kitchen in elementary school, and painting my nails at her kitchen nook in H.S.  I remember learning how to snap a dish towel with my cousins as we cleaned up from holiday gatherings & singing and dancing...

The Art of Organizing

"Be daring enough to tell us-your customers, your fans, your people-about your ambition  because we'll be the ones to help you fulfill them."  -  Danielle LaPorte It is a new year.  A time of new beginnings.  A time to clear out the old and make way for the new and I am ready for it.  I have been inching forward in my new business and now it's time to push the go button and let things begin.  I am ready to see where this leads. Just the other day, I was listening to Oprah interview Sue Monk Kidd, the best-selling author of "The Secret Life of Bees."  She was talking about her transition from being a nurse to becoming a writer; something that she had wanted to be since she was a child.  She was speaking about listening to what is calling from the bottom of your heart.  Hear it and then proclaim it. Last year I proclaimed that I was done teaching in the classroom or in a traditional "teacher" way.  I know there is somet...

declare what you believe

Yesterday I sat down to type out what I really believe about my business.  I had just been searching websites of professional organizers to find out how they let other people know what makes them special; what they share in their "About" section.  I thought it might be a good idea for me to put down on paper why I want to do this work and why I believe it has value. One person had labeled this page her "manifesto."  I took that idea and started to type.  It was fun to collect all of the little thoughts and phrases that have been surrounding me for the last 4 months and put them together on one page of text.  It felt like a culmination.   Here's are a couple paragraphs from my business manifesto: I believe that it is really helpful to have a partner as you begin this process.  A partner who only wants the best for you and is ready to be of service.  A partner to help you gain clarity around what you are really looking for i...
