HELLO & THANK YOU for your interest in my organizing business. I have a love of order and am excited to put together a service that helps families negotiate the pace of life and the generational challenges that come with downsizing a lifetime of personal accumulation. The chaos of managing one’s self and responsibilities can be stressful and overwhelming. The idea of offering a service to assist with simplifying and restoring order to your home and sanctuary is rewarding and personally challenging for one with a brain wired for order.

WE GOT HERE…HOW?

• Marie Condo’s “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” sold over 14 million copies worldwide, translated in to 44 languages, and was on the NYT best seller list for over 150 weeks.
• Home Organization is a multi-billion dollar business resulting in the emergence of the Professional Organizer.

One asks “What keeps us buying things?” Doorstops that look like dogs, all manners of feathers, seashells, dried flowers, useless-dust-able knickknack things, inflatable plastic things, pictures on sofa pillows – and the labor of your life is to wait upon and manage the things. In truth, the country would be broke by lunchtime if not for consumerism, but we have gone over the top. And its so easy scream the advertisers. One click purchasing, same day delivery, 30” drone drops, GET IT NOW! LOOK HERE- BUY THIS-LOOK THERE! We love our stuff and the things. Marketing ads get you to BUY. If you buy this it will make you HAPPY, SO HAPPY! And you deserve it! Gimmicks and gadgets “As Seen on TV” create demand and build relationships with algorithms not people.

• One third of homeowners say their garage is too cluttered to use as intended – to park their vehicles
• There are now more storage units in the US than Starbucks or McDonalds for OVERFLOW of the things.

Our solution was to build bigger homes to contain the things. The typical home increased from 1500 sf (1973) to 2200 sf (2023). MORE room | LESS space. An average home (and storage unit) contains approximately 300,000 personal household items: electronics, books and magazines, knickknacks, bins stuffed with camping and sports gear, seasonal décor, towels, linens, bedding, clothing, kitchenware, toys, how about that appliance graveyard? Endless things… As early as the 60’s along came the yard sales, estate sales, overflowing landfills and current day consignment and donation businesses are overflowing.
