I'm selecting this post because it garnered the most responses from people in my life who I never even knew were reading my blog. Many people read blogs and never post a public comment. After sharing this post, many people whom I know reached out to tell me how much they appreciated the post and how much they could identify with what I had to say.

That made me feel like all the writing I'm doing matters, which made it a "best" for me!

With 2025 being a busy year for all of us, I was thrilled that this post was well-received, and the comments showed a clear need for coaching and mentoring for small business owners. It turns out that visitors spent the most time on this page. In my personal life, I find myself easily distracted by all the new things and forgetting my priorities. So, accountability with someone else keeps me in check and focused. I am glad that this is the case for everyone.

This was my most popular post of the year.

Readers often ask "Where do you get your ideas?" and "How long does it take to make a book?" Here's the answer for If You Were Here, a children's book published this year that's going over well with adults too. The sampling of pages included in the post will help show why.

It's been a tough year. This post encourages readers to focus on change using a joy perspective. Change can often feel scary. However, reframing your thoughts and viewing change through a new lens can make a positive difference in how you approach things.

It highlights the versatility of spreadsheets as a key player in your arsenal of organizing tools.

This post attracted a higher number of readers than usual. I think it spoke to a lot of people!

I'm a productivity consultant and am often hired to help people get more done, AND I love to focus on having/taking time to get the right things done - achieving desired results - and that doesn't mean just getting more done. Being busy doesn't equal being productive. Going faster or working harder isn't always the right answer to greater productivity. This post is really about that, so it's a personal favorite for the lesson it shares.

I wrote this post to give voice to a quiet, often overlooked kind of grief that can surface during life and career transitions, especially when meaningful relationships end without clear goodbyes. Reflecting on my work as a Professional Organizer, I share how deeply invested I’ve been in the people I serve and how those connections shaped my own growth. Unprocessed endings can linger, but it’s never too late to honor them. By naming the sadness, expressing gratitude, and trusting God with the timing, we can find peace, acceptance, and a deeper appreciation for the seasons and people who have shaped us.

It's always hard to choose between more entertaining/philosophical posts and more dense/info-driven ones. I picked this as my best because it underscores how passionately I feel about people organizing medical billing and healthcare-related financial information. While not as fun or funny as I usually choose, this post empowers you to protect your bottom line, especially this coming year, with all the question marks and hardships associated with healthcare (in the U.S.).

I like it the most of all the new blogs I wrote this year.

Writing it reminded me of many of the personal and professional connections I've made over the years, and how much I've enjoyed helping others meet people with similar interests.

This was a tough choice. It was between this one and "Not all disabilities are visible". As much as I want to raise awareness of invisible illnesses, and got good feedback on that post, I also want to raise awareness that we're all related (if you go back far enough) and we all have more in common than we think we do. If you do nothing else, scroll down and watch the powerful 5-minute video I have included. Thanks!

It seemed to resonate with a lot of people at the beginning of the year. I think many people look behind at the year they just finished and have regrets about what they did or didn't accomplish, so they look ahead to a fresh, new year for redemption! I wanted to frame that conversation in a way that asks folks to put themselves in their own shoes one year ahead of where they currently are to establish some goals for the upcoming year so they don't face the same regrets again in the next new year.
