Squatters or Residents: Why it can be so difficult to let things go
If you've been around for a while you've noticed that I like a good analogy. I find it easier for people to understand what you are saying if they have a category to put it in. As with any analogy, sometimes you can't carry them over one-to-one but the spirit is what we're going for. When helping people see that they get to choose what stays in their homes and what leaves their homes this might be a good way for you to think about it.
When We Finally Get to Look Back
It took me a while to come up with a title for this post. Things like "That Time I wrote a Book in a Week" and "How a Printable Turned into a Book" and "How Will You Remember This Time?" all sounded good. None of those titles quite fit what I wanted to convey.
This is the story of My Pandemic Time Capsule, A Guided Journal. It's a quick one, as you may have gathered by the alternate titles, and I wanted to share it still. I want this to be a testimony to the way that this time has been different for everyone and even within one person's life.

Just in Case: The 20/20 Rule
There are dozens of tips and questions to ask to help you decide what to keep in your home. There are too many to say all at once while in a decluttering session. Some, however, hold more bang for their buck. One of them is the 20/20 rule.
Top Ten of 2019
Choosing only 10 after photos of all the work I did with the greatest people this year was super tough! I had the honor of walking with people through tremendous growth and that just doesn't show up in a two dimensional image. For that reason, I'll share my favorite images and the stories behind them. And to make it even easier on me I'm going to do them chronologically. I just can't show favoritism! I love everyone I work with so much!
Write on Your Sheets
Did I just say, "write on your sheets?" Well, yes, yes I did. While you're at it write on your sheets before your guests come! I mean, you are changing the sheets anyway, so you might as well do it now.
