How exciting! One of the most popular organizing websites and blogs, Organizing Junkie has chosen to honor me today in their Summer Organizer Spotlight series.

It was fun answering all of her questions and quite an honor to be recognized by someone of such high esteem. You can find the article here. While you’re on her website, spend some time exploring it.

I was passionate about this long before I became a professional organizer and that passion has only gotten stronger since I began seeing how much stuff was ending up in landfills. Last Wednesday I launched a new website that I created called The Stuff Stop®. The Stuff Stop®. is a FREE nationwide community resource that helps people dispose of the things they no longer need, use or love in a responsible,… read more »
