Now we are getting to the area that really everyone can identify with in some way. Periodically, most people need to re-organize dressers, closets, basements, offices etc. It is the human condition to find yourself knee deep from time to time in just ordinary stuff. Perhaps you find seasonally you need to go thorough and re-organize by relocating some possessions to a “not til next year” location and pull other things more into every day reach.  I tend to classify this as basic organizing. I think it is the catastrophic that really tends to send us in dire need of outside help. This often occurs when someone in the family dies and you find that you have inherited another house load of “stuff”. These things are chocked full of a life time of memories, the loss is still very fresh and you are feeling very vulnerable. This is when an outside eye is so essential. There is no quick fix, but step by step things can get organized and the paring down does begin to happen.

Perhaps you are an artist of some sort and your “creativity” has about taken over your life. You have so many materials to create from that you find yourself frozen unable to find even your bills due to the ever growing piles of projects that are in varying stages of completion. I once helped an artist move her entire studio into another location. She then designed and rebuilt her studio to reflect the physical needs of her various materials….and there were quite a few things to house.

It might be that over the years you have just found yourself slowly but surely living in a mountain of chaos. You don’t have the energy to even know where to start. Shame and embarrassment  may fill your soul. Having guests over it out of the question. Your possessions have taken charge. Well, I am here to let the sunshine into your life. I can absolutely guarantee that you will feel years younger and there will be a lift in your step once you commit to letting go and investing in yourself.

LET THE SUN SHINE IN!
