Book Review: 27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home by Tisha Morris
Funny how the ancient art of feng shui and the current passion for decluttering and getting organized collide, especially in Tisha Morris’ book 27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home . Tisha lives here in the Nashville area, which is how we met, but her book speaks to us all.
Your first meeting with a Professional Organizer…doing it right. (part 2)
So now you are all set to meet with me, or your newly acquired Professional Organizer, to get yourself all organized.
You’ve got the ground rules (see Part 1 of this series) but now what? Now we get together for our meeting so I can get to know you, and figure out the best way to help you achieve your organizing goals.
Your first meeting with a Professional Organizer…doing it right. (part 1)
When I first start working with an organizing client, we always have an an initial consult. It usually takes about an hour. This is where I evaluate the space or situation, meet with the client to determine goals, get to know them and how they think, create a plan, etc.

tiny bathroom :: storage needed
Small Bathroom Needs More Storage Space: Check Out My Solution! I was reading a great post (as usual) by Org Junkie and ended up coming up with an idea for my own post while commenting on hers. She was talking about organizing her bathroom (cosmetics, hair products, etc.). I had tossed out my thoughts on […]
What’s important to YOU is what you should do . . .
I don’t send holiday cards. I don’t send birthday cards. Nor do I send cards for any occasion other than when I want to communicate via a personal note.
