I absolutely love this email I received from one of you! Just a warning that the first part is totally a recommendation to grab the audio version of my book. But that is how SHE opened the letter, so it's not like it's ME trying to convince you to get it! I love hearing from people who declutter while they listen to my book …

Decluttering Your Scariest Space
I am giddy to get to share this free Tackle Your Scariest Space Challenge with you!

Using the Container Concept with Kids – A Reader’s Story
I've been enjoying hearing the stories coming from those who are reading advance copies of my book that releases next week, Decluttering at the Speed of Life.

I've shared that I'm planning to have a garage sale, and thought I'd share the reasons I'm choosing to put myself and my family through the torture.

A daily pick-up can only help so much when there’s just . . . too . . . much . . . stuff.
