If you have to buy an item in any of these categories, consider your options, especially if it could impact your health. And you can use that same criteria to help you remove items from your home that could be unhealthy to you and your family.

From food products to household staples, these are the items you won’t see very much of across the pond.

The Reinvention Continues

Here’s a truth I’ve been keeping to myself:

While many people around me are retired—or thinking about retirement—I’ve been reinventing my work future. Again.

My work-life journey has taken me from the corporate world, working for one of the largest insurance companies, to 20 years in the nonprofit world. Then I went back to school to become a Landscape Designer, which I decided was not for me.

And then, when I didn't know what to do next, I started my own business as a Professional Organizer—almost 12 years ago, before social media and before many people even knew what that was.

Well, now, I’m reinventing myself once again. (How fun and exciting is this?!?)

I’ve expanded my business to become a Certified Life Coach, because I want to help people, in a new way, not only navigate what’s changing in their lives, but envision what they want their next chapter to look like—and then build a path toward that new vision and make it happen.

The funny thing is, several clients over the years have told me, “You’re as much of a coach as you are an organizer.”

I didn't really make the connection.

Then I thought… why not explore this and make it official?

So, maybe this isn’t about starting over.

Maybe it’s about taking everything I’ve learned along the way and bringing it together in a new way.

And maaaaybe that’s what reinvention really is—not becoming someone different, but becoming more fully who you’re meant to be.

You may even know someone who had to, or wanted to, reinvent their life or work in a way they never expected?

Because I know there are so many people facing an uncertain future—one they may or may not have expected—I’d love to ask you for something a little more personal.

If you’re rooting for me as I take this next step to support others, drop me a note and let me know. It would mean more to me than you know. ❤️

I was honored to join Dr. David Hardy on his podcast to discuss why our belongings are never just "stuff." Behind every possession is a story, and behind every client is a unique set of circumstances. That's why there is no one-size-fits-all approach. By understanding both the person and the story behind their belongings, we can navigate life's transitions with compassion, clarity, and purpose.

Can you take "Going Paperless" too far?!? 😂

Have you noticed your organization slipping sometimes? Life happens, but maybe there are a few tricks to reduce their occurrence. Which, if any, resonate with you?

Decluttering your home can backfire if you make these common mistakes. Learn which habits can sabotage your organization efforts and how to keep clutter from returning.

I haven't heard this called "Reverse Decluttering" as it's just how we declutter. But putting a positive spin on it may work better for you as you decide what you want to "Keep" versus what you want to "Discard/Donate." Another helpful tip..., Think "Quality" vs. "Quantity."

Standing in front of an overflowing closet often triggers a specific kind of paralysis. You stare at the shirts from three years ago, the jeans that might fit one day again, and that weird gadget used once for slicing avocados. The brain freezes. Traditional advice suggests picking up every single i...
