It’s hard to believe, but there are only a few weeks left before 2012 comes to a close and a brand new year begins. I can’t think of a better time to reflect on what you’ve achieved and make plans for the future, so that’s the theme of this month’s Professional Organizers Blog Carnival.

This happens to be a very special edition, because we have a new Professional Organizers Blog Carnival Superstar Blogger and two new Star Bloggers. With her post, Evaluate the Past, Plan for the Future, Audrey Cupo has now participated in 25 Professional Organizer Blog Carnivals, and Jonda Beattie, with her post about Priorities, and Debbie Pendell with Reflections for a Life Well Spent, have each participated in 10.

Join me in congratulating these dedicated bloggers!

Be sure to benefit from the wisdom and information shared by all the participants, including:

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.

    Janet, thank you again for all you do to support the organizing community and the spirit of organizing. It means so much to be included. You rock!

      And it thrills me to no end to have seasoned organizers like yourself, as well as newcomers to the industry, taking part in this pet project of mine. Happy Hanukkah!
