A FRESH START is launched

I initially thought I would start this blog to coincide with recently starting my new 'organizing' business called FRESH START. Here, I would give wonderful tips on de-cluttering, right-sizing and organizing your life. It would be filled with moving tips, how to get rid of clothes you never wear (and will never fit), getting control of the paper jungle that surrounds you, clearing out the boxes that you move from home to home without ever looking inside and just simplifying your life with less 'stuff'. I would become the queen of organizing advice and you - the reader - would be enlightened - and lightened - forever more.

But....in the process of getting my business off the ground, and after working with some wonderful clients, I discovered something much deeper - that we are all looking for something (a Fresh Start?) in many areas of our lives - emotional, physical and spiritual - not just in the organizing or de-cluttering department. While it's somewhat true that if we sell or give away some (or all) of our material possessions, we will feel 'better' or 'OK' or 'different' for a while, if we don't examine all the other components of our life we won't make permanent changes and we'll still be stuck (but just have alot less stuff!).

So now I realize that this blog must take a slightly different path - I'm embarking on this journey and will share with you bits and pieces about myself, my observations, struggles and triumphs, and in the process I will also give you some valuable tips on organizing and living a decluttered, calm and peaceful life. Let's take this journey together and see where we end up...........ciao for now!
