20 Things That May Surprise You

  1. I’m more interested in understanding people than organizing stuff.

  2. I’m not a minimalist. I love my stuff. My home is full, yet balanced.

  3. I’m organized only to the point that I can easily find things.

  4. I’m particular, but not a perfectionist.

  5. I haven’t been to the Container Store in over ten years.

  6. I don’t own a label maker.

  7. I am not a DIY kind of gal. I need help all the time.

  8. I have two junk drawers: one personal and one for work.

  9. I often get messy and have to pick up after myself.

  10. I am a life-long student of different therapies, including NLP and spiritual teachers.

  11. I get a surprising kick out of watching the trucks drive away with my trash or recycling.

  12. I am the oldest daughter of an emotionally messy family, but our home was neat and uncluttered.

  13. I’ve lived in 6 different states, now outside of Boston.

  14. I grew up in Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA when it was just “Manchester,” and still visit.

  15. I love collaging and show my “Clutter to Collage” series in local art galleries.

  16. I was comfortably married, happily divorced, and am totally OK with my decision not to have children.

  17. I won the “Most Improved Sailor” award when I hit a sand bar my first time out alone. (I still have it.)

  18. In 1987, I lived at Findhorn, a spiritual community in Northern Scotland, for three months.

  19. I know where everything is in my home.

  20. Every day I need to practice what I teach so my days are easier, more enjoyable, no matter what I need to do.
