Decisions: Health Matters

I have had health issues that took me several months or longer to work through, as some of you might have experienced or had family or friends that applies to. What does that have to do with organizing, you might ask?

In addition to my own organizing business jobs, I also work for Carolyn Rowe's company The Move Maker--packing and unpacking for her clients who are often older and have health issues. Frequently, the state of their health necessitates that a caretaker or family member makes decisions about what to keep and what to move to their next and usually much smaller home...sometimes on short notice.

Every time I work in a home filled with years worth of memorabilia, artwork, books, papers, photos, collectibles, and clothes, etc., it reminds me to take a look at my own home and reduce my belongings to only those items that I truly need, use, and value...while I'm healthy and able to make those decisions.
