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

There are some people in the world that just adore a good question. I am one of them. I adore asking good questions and I adore answering them. I also like to reflect on where I’ve been, all the “what’s happened” at the end of the year. I’m not a New Years resolution...

I have a question for you…

I have a question for you…

Okay, it's not just one question, it's a bunch of questions, as in 64! (For the quick, "Get to the questions already!" Click here: 2019 Year in Review.) Those of you that know me, know about these annual questions. Around twenty years ago, they were passed along to me...

Got a storage unit? This post is for YOU!

Got a storage unit? This post is for YOU!

STORAGE UNITS! Whose got one? More people than I thought! I've been asking around a little bit and dang—my friends, we got lots of STUFF in storage units out there! The prevailing response I got when I brought up the subject of storage units was a big SIGH and a...

Is your home trying to tell you something?

Is your home trying to tell you something?

I moved to Seattle in 1997 and when I arrived, I had exactly zero friends. I'd just graduated college, I went to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and I had an absolutely beautiful life there. Anyone who’s ever been to “SLO” town knows it’s a magical little hub of activity,...

I keep getting asked.

I keep getting asked.

"It was one of the best weeks of my life." I know, that's a big declaration. But that's what I keep saying when people ask me about the Joe Dispenza workshop I attended a few months ago. I got introduced to Joe's way back when "What the Bleep" was released and then...

How comfy are you with being messy?

How comfy are you with being messy?

I started doing yoga last March. My beloved dog Dieter unexpectedly passed away and I needed something to do. My aching heart, my two arms and my two legs were feeling very lost without massive Dieter petting, hugging, snuggling, burying my nose into his fur and...

We need to talk about “Sparking Joy”

We need to talk about “Sparking Joy”

It's time to talk about Marie Kondo, and it's kind of a sticky subject. 'Cause on one hand, I think she's doing some really important work. Helping people deal with their clutter and organize their worlds, all the while making it trendy and mainstream? I'm down with...

How to get that thing done that never gets done

How to get that thing done that never gets done

I see it all the time, the "projects that never get done" phenomenon. They can come in so many forms: the pile of photos that need sorting, the kid's room that you've wanted to change into a guest room for years and years, even our cars can get cluttered and...

Why you should care about how your home feels

When I was a kid, my parents would send me to Lake Hume for summer camp. It was the event I marked the days off on my calendar for all year long. Lake Hume was a Christian camp out in the mountainous woods of Fresno county and hundreds of kids were bussed in and...
