After years of thinking, "I don't need an organizer - I know how to organize!", I hired Stacy. What was I waiting for?
Here's the deal - YES, I can clean a room. Yes, I can organize. OK, mostly. But to have someone this good see into the reality I was living (instead of my resistance!) changed everything.
We started in my son's room. It wasn't so bad, but had a few persistent pain spots. "He won't put this stuff away, and it makes me crazy!" I whined. (Yes, I admit it - I whined). "Well, that's because he doesn't have a place to put it," Stacy responded (politely ignoring my whine, which I appreciated. Saving face, ya know).
And it hit me - my home was full of homeless items that I was accommodating, instead of finding them homes! Wow. So simple, and yet I danced around it for years.
My big end result? After only a few hours, Stacy had helped me clarify what was important to me, get rid of things that weren't (and I'm not a pack rat!), find homes for my poor homeless things, and arrange an office space I love in a space I thought was worthless. The things that were making me nuts are gone, and I am happier in my space than I ever have been.
Hire her. Seriously. Even if you think you can organize. If there is a space in your home that irritates you, she can help. She just sees things differently. And now, thanks to her, so do I. read more
