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.

Lelah, I’m glad you’re enjoying both reading and participating in the Blog Carnival. It seems to be working exactly the way I imagined it.
