What a difference a year makes!

Like most of my friends, family, and clients, 2020 tested me in so many ways.

I was compelled to be present with myself. I spent three months living, cooking, creating, and working out in my 180 square foot tiny house.

At times it felt lonely and scary not knowing what the future of my business and life would be. And at times I felt delight, joy, and deep connection with my family, friends, and clients. It was my opportunity to let go of all expectations of what 2020 was supposed to be.

I was having the best first quarter of my 5 years in business last March when the initial shelter in place was announced. This was not my story. I was supposed to be growing my business not stopping everything in its tracks.

But, in the moments of uncertainty and anxiety about the future, I remained open to new opportunities.

In this opening I found love!

I met him on an online dating app. We spent the first month meeting for a walk or an outdoor adventure and social distancing all the while. This allowed us to connect and really get to know each other on a deeper level.

Fast forward to March 2021 and we are now living together in a much larger home with lots of space and a beautiful yard.

For me, this meant I was upsizing! I was moving from a tiny house into a much bigger space. As I type this I am so grateful to be working from my new home office!

It has taken about 3 months to feel really settled & grounded in my new home. So many emotions have come up during this process of purging, packing, unpacking, and letting go.

To be honest, I LOVED my tiny house. I felt so safe and content there for several years. The act of packing up was really hard for me. I was sad to say goodbye to that chapter of my life which was so rich with growth both personally and professionally.

I found myself getting overwhelmed many times throughout the packing process.

Packing a home always takes more time than you think, no matter how organized you are. It forced me to look at my entire life’s possessions. I asked myself many times if the things I was bringing with me to my new home would add value to my life or if they were just going to collect dust. And honestly, sometimes I had to walk away from a decision and come back to it at another time with a clear head.

As I was doing the hard work I help my clients with all the time, I realized it's much harder to do for myself, but I did it with the support of my sweetie. Just like I support my clients in times of transition it felt really comforting to know I had someone to lean on during this big life change.

So here I am, in my new home, with a wonderful man, and working with my clients to remove their clutter and transform their lives. This is exactly where I am supposed to be.

It feels amazing to be settled, to only have what I need and love, and nothing extra laying around.

Sending you support on your organizing journey, whatever that may be!

Be well,
