It’s happening in the park….personal clearing!

Hello Personal Clearing Peeps... Most of you reading this newsletter already know that I have two main offerings: Space Clearing & Stuffology (my version of clutter clearing/organizing). I also offer something else I don't promote all that often, Personal...

All the Unusual Things I’ve Ever Been Asked to Clear! (Surprised the bajeezers out of me.)

I brought up the "In the Park" Personal Clearings to a dear friend a few days ago and she had the most fascinating insight. I have no idea why I've never threaded this all together before. But friends, for reals, as my friend pointed out to me— I've been asked to...

A most excellent way to make decluttering & organizing so much easier…VISION

A few years ago, I went on a little summery visit to Whidbey Island. I've been to Whidbey lots of times but this time, the stars aligned. The little cabin I rented, perfection. Sublime. The cold plunging was cold in an electrifying way. Absolute body alignment. All...

The difference between Stuffology and traditional clutter clearing & why it matters

There is a big BIG difference between Stuffology and traditional professional organizing/clutter clearing. Last week I gave a short presentation to a networking group. There was an older gentleman sitting quietly at one of the tables with his hands folded out in front...

For those of you that adore a good question

SPACE CLEARING KARMA, notes from the field

Years ago, I dated a guy that lived in another state. He’d fly in to Seattle to visit ame nd after he’d taken off, I’d always discover that he’d left a trail of wadded up paper, gum wrappers, receipts, and small coins all over the floor of my room. What the actual...

Mari the Cat

SOMETIMES on space clearing jobs, I have help! This time, it was Mari the cat. A week or so ago, I drove out to clear a property on the peninsula that’s going through a big remodel. It’s *out* there, surrounded by woods, and sooo extra extra quiet. You can not...
