After
nearly two years of 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 highest potential … I told June the other day that I am, at
43 years of age, the happiest I have ever been. Thanks to June, my personal and
professional lives are in order and decluttered. As a result, I am able to actually
enjoy all my pursuits and take on others. In addition, my pursuits don't get buried
under a pile of to-do's and half-finished projects drawers … I was finally
able to start taking fencing lessons -- something I had wanted to pursue for nearly
20 years!
June is a gardener … she helps pull up the weeds
in one's life, lay rich soil as foundation and then plant seeds of inspiration
and passion into one's life … either way, even after one afternoon with June,
one's life will be transformed.

I
consider myself a pretty nice person, but when June came to organize my home office,
I almost bit her head off! I hired her, I loved her, and I had a lot of resistance.
June, you remained cheerful, positive, undeterred, and understanding. My grumpiness
and your patience helped to show me that organizing my home office was about a
lot more than moving paper around -- it was about ordering my life. You have made
an enormous difference materially and spiritually -- clean surfaces and a clear
mind; letting go of old paperwork, clutter, and systems that didn't work well,
and letting in the new and the now.
One translation of the word "religion"
is "orientation" -- i.e., religion at its best helps people find their
place in the world. Organizing, at least when it is done the Organizing ManiacTM
way, is a religious and spiritual experience. The systems work because they create
a space and a home for everything -- including the wishes, dreams, wants, needs,
and personality of the person who is getting organized.

I
enjoy my job now that you did such a fabulous job of organizing me! I am enjoying
every day more that I did before. You really saved me professionally and personally
from tragedy because I was on the road to disaster. You've given me hope that
I can manage it all! Last weekend, I completed two articles that I have had "in
progress" for a year and a half. I just couldn't seem to get going on them
and they were hanging over my head! But this weekend, my writing flowed very smoothly
and I finished them! I was amazed! I am sooo pleased, delighted and relieved.
I know the reason I was able to finish them is thanks to you, I am organized!
Everything seems lighter and more accessible. Nancy Jean is also so happy! She's
raving about you … and it's gone all over our department and people want
to know who this "June" is and what she does. You are fabulous, June!
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!

Best
to you this new millennium. I truly am thankful for all the work you did with
me. It has transformed my life in soooo many ways. And you are sooo right ...
the miracles keep happening. I have been working in Eastern Europe in Bulgaria
and Hungary with teachers and students, and it has been wonderful. Thanks, June,
for all you've taught me. It is helping so much! You are such a blessing!

The investment was completely
worth it!!! The Organizing ManiacTM has given me a greater sense of
pride in my company and in myself, and has brought me peace of mind! When June
came into my office, I thought I had things "sort of" together but I
knew things could be better. She gave me insightful advice on how I could revamp
my entire company! Not only did we redo the entire filing system for my home office
and business, she also established a better system to track and follow up on the
huge volume of calls from ongoing and potential clients, and showed me how to
organize the correspondence, data and resources coming into my office so I could
have that information at my fingertips. Now I don't worry as much because all
these systems are in place and running like clockwork. June also helped me organize
the format for my brochures and marketing materials, which created a more polished
and professional image for my business, and took it to a higher level! Coincidentally
my sales have increased, too!

I
just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how much I appreciate all that
you've done for me so far. I don't know quite how to express how happy I am with
the way things are working out for me in my "brand new" office space.
Uncluttering my physical space has really done a lot to unclutter my emotional
space. And as I accomplish the things around me that I see (which at times, I
have to admit, seems like an insurmountable task), I begin to think that there's
nothing I can't do ... and the time is now to start.

Thank
you very much for organizing my office and for helping with my move!!! I am sooo
excited and relieved that my office is just perfect now … It is hard to believe
that I have NO MORE BOXES! File cabinet got painted, and thanks to YOU ... I am
completely free of boxes now. You have so much energy and only you could have
done what you did!!! The arrangement of the office furniture is better than I
expected. It's interesting how you work for perfection -- you are not satisfied
until things "work" and look aesthetically pleasing! I want you to know
that I value your expertise. I think of how quickly you helped me to organize
my office, bathroom and home office! You are truly amazing! Ed and I also commented
on how the newly organized home really feels like it has new energy in it. You
really do perform miracles. I'm really looking forward to having you back to finish
our home … and performing miracles in my girls' room!

25, 2003 I just wanted to let you know that I'm FINALLY using my ACTION notebook
the way you said I should! I know it's taken me quite a few years, but as usual,
you are RIGHT! My desk is CLEAN every day and I put things in the drawer like
you said I should. It just feels so much better and, of course, organized! Funny
how it takes me awhile to change old habits. Anyway, I LOVE it, and I thank you
for having faith in me and your persistence! You are truly wonderful!

Hi
June, I have recovered from our session yesterday (I mean that in a good way)
and wanted to thank you for being such a blessing to me. You really know how to
bend a procrastinators mind!! I feel so much more at peace in my new space. Just
the new computer monitor home is such a HUGE improvement!!! I LOVE IT. I look
at my storage closet ... I LOVE IT!! And that Cards and Membership notebook ...
I can not wait to put that together!!! And I will most likely take your suggestion
to put more notebooks together. I could go on and on. I am going to be very busy
until Monday but after that will go through the rest of the boxes, one box at
a time. By the way, I've taken on another producing position. Now that I am organized,
the process will be soooo much smoother. Thanks and God Bless!
