Okay, okay. Life can be overwhelming, and I got to the point where my home was buried in stuff. Not quite hoarder-level, but I could see it on the horizon.
I met the owner, Mary Cate, while walking my dog. We got to talking, and when she told me what she does, I grabbed her and made her come look at my stuff.
I had a LOT of stuff.
She patiently described options for handling my things, and I chose to hold a auction. Kind of like an estate sale for the living... and boy, howdy, did it work.
Not only did she come over to direct me and my piles of debris, she coached me on what to keep and, more importantly, what I could let go. It wasn't a one-time service. She gave solid tips on why and how I need to look at my space to keep the clutter from reoccurring. And she did it all in a way that made me feel good about it, rather than like when your mom tells you to clean your room and you go sulking off. I wanted to clean for Mary Cate! By the time she finished working with me, I felt like a champ!
Seriously, having a professional organizer saved my life. Totally worth every penny! read more
