As she explains on her website: “Yes, I will fully admit that I’m “one of those people”. “One of those” individuals who is on time for appointments, knows where everything in the house is located, can place my fingers on a file in 5 seconds flat, and has time each and every single day to do just what I want…and not feel the least bit guilty while I’m doing it! I AM a Professional Organizer….or rather a Bringer of Order!
