Back on decluttering, time management is something I’m working on. I don’t think I’m very far along yet it’s good. I’m just seeing things, and making small changes, and quite miraculously, I have seen time expand before my eyes. Days just last so long, it’s magical. There is lots of time for everything. It’s weird. I love it. I continue to waste a lot and make my life harder than it could be and haven’t yet figured it out yet, but I must be making some progress, just with some of the small changes, because of the way time has expanded so much. It’s quite wonderful.

I am having the time of my life! I never knew that my life could be so beautiful. It almost makes me cry. I’m thinking of you because Truth.Love.Meaning.Purpose. is really really hitting me on deep levels. It brings me tears and joy. All is well. I’m so grateful for all the work we’ve done over the past years. I’m still in Florence and having an incredible time. Painting tons. Really enjoying womanhood. Most importantly, Truth.Love.Meaning.Purpose. is resonating in every cell of my body. Thank you again. I look forward to calendaring regular sessions and more time with you. Alright, life is beautiful . . . and I’m now leaving Florence to go to Greece and then London.

I love that you go out and help people live their life to the fullest. I’m forever grateful to you for setting up systems in my life.  I’m still putting things in the white Staples boxes when I can’t get to them right away and still have the store for my boys to get their office supplies.  And Daniel still remembers ‘the Organizing Maniac’ and set up homes at his apartment for things he frequently misplaces, like his phone, sunglasses, and keys. And you taught him that stuff when he was only 11 – nine years ago! Thank you so much!

This note is long overdue. I never expected to be out of touch with you for so long. First and foremost, we wanted to say thank you again for everything you have done for us so far. We talk about you all the time and in contexts that some people find surprising:

  • “Gee you two have been doing a lot of traveling this year.”
  • “You seem to be getting along really well.”
  • “How do you manage to find the greatest birthday cards?”

Truly as a result of working with you, not only are our “things” more organized, but our lives and goals as well. Since we last met, we have, among other things:

  • Used our Ritz Carlton gift certificates for a great trip to New Orleans.
  • Taken a wonderful long weekend planned in advance using mileage to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
  • Booked a long weekend for the summer-waaay in advance, at a huge savings, on South Padre Island in the Gulf of Mexico
  • Refinanced our mortgage at a favorite rate in preparation for the home remodeling project (because things were organized enough for me to be able to identify the task and find the documents and act quickly)
  • Hired a designer and worked out preliminary plans and revised plans for our house renovations

These are only some of the items on our “progress report.” This is, of course, not to say that we are perfectly organized, or that clutter is not beginning to accumulate. (or that we have made great strides in time management.) Nevertheless, we enjoy and appreciate the palpable difference in our lives every day. Thank you!!

p.s. A MIRACLE has happened, thanks to you! Hank and I have been working on the tax information easily and effortlessly – and (here’s the miracle), PEACEFULLY. It’s only March 26 and we’re 99.9% finished! It’s a record for us – and the first time, possibly ever, that we won’t have to file an extension.  As for your “doubtful” clients, I would say that, in my case, lots of miracles have happened. But this “big” one took a certain amount of time to build up to. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

After working with June to declutter my life, I am experiencing a freedom I remember as a child . . . born of traveling lightly in this life. The freedom is incredible! It is the freedom to soar and to be released from the weights of life and the stuff, which insidiously serves to hold us back from reaching our greatest potential. I told June that at my age, I am the happiest I have ever been. Thanks to June, my personal and professional lives are in order. Now my pursuits don’t get buried under a pile of to-do’s and half-finished project drawers. I was able to start taking fencing lessons—something I had wanted to pursue for 20 years! June is a gardener . . . she helps pull up weeds in one’s life, lays rich soil as foundation, and then plants seeds of inspiration and passion into one’s life . . . either way, even after one afternoon with June, one’s life will be transformed.

Thank you so much for coming over the other day. I got so inspired and motivated that I redid all my file drawers and typed them all up again and purged like you wouldn’t believe. I can’t wait to do more! By the end, I had two huge trash bags and got rid of two more boxes in the office. I had the task list going and went through everything and it felt soo good! I spent 25 hours (!!!) on all this stuff since you left!!! You’re fabulous! What a burst of energy!!! What a fabulous way to live! I can’t believe you’ve been living like this for so long! It feels soooo good and I have soooo much energy!!!
