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.

Well, here it is December… already, or finally, depending on how 2018 has treated you!

Things have been pretty good here at Your Organizing Business and for the rest of the year I’ll be highlighting some of the important features that you may have missed.

I was pleased to interview five professional organizers, shown in the above collage. If you don’t already know these brilliant women, or if you’d like to learn more about them, you can check out their interviews right here.

A relatively new organizer in North Bay, Ontario, Janet also specializes in working with seniors and enjoys helping them transition to a new home.

    I have enjoyed all of these interviews, and hope you will continue in the future. I agree that each of us has our own “spin” on this profession, and yet we all share a love of people and helping. I am so thankful to be counted among the professionals in this industry, and for your support of all the organizers out there!
