Professional Organizers Blog Carnival: 2016 in Review

One of the most popular features of Your Organizing Business is the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival, which has been hosted here every month since June 2009. This resource wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for all the wonderful people who participate.

Today I’d like to acknowledge everyone who was part of the Blog Carnival during 2016.

A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don’t have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I’m away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.

    Have I told you lately how much I love Professional Organizers Blog Carnival? I don’t always read all the posts, but I do read some of them, and I love the variety of approaches we all take to each month’s topic. Being a participant helps keep me blogging. Sometimes I submit a previous post, and sometimes the topic inspires me to write a new one. Thanks for all you do for the blogging organizers’ community, and for me personally, Janet!

    Seana and Hazel, it’s regulars like you that have kept the Blog Carnival going all these years! Looking forward to reading more of your posts in 2017.

    I always appreciate the opportunity to participate in the POBC as a contributor, sharer, and reader of the amazing posts that my colleagues feature. I’m honored to be a POBC Superstar blogger and will continue to contribute.

    Thank you, Janet for giving us this consistent, wonderful venue to be part of.

    Linda and Sabrina, you know I couldn’t do it without regular participants and strong supporters like you – nor would I want to!
