Organize Your Family History milestone

3 October 2023 | Comments [0] »

I started my genealogy blog, Organize Your Family History, back on June 14, 2012. Over the weekend, I achieved a milestone I’d been watching out for: OYFH surpassed one million page views. That’s six zeros! I’m astonished and thrilled.

22 June 2023 | Comments [0] »

I was delighted to receive an email telling me that this blog made the list of 50 Best Decluttering Websites and Blogs as identified by the website Feedspot. Imagine my delight when I clicked on the link and saw that I’m listed as #4 on the list! I did a little looking around on Feedspot and saw that the Peace of Mind Organizing blog is also on their list of 100 Best Organizing Blogs and Websites. I’m #17 there.

2020 highlight reel

31 December 2020 | Comments [0] »

I think we can all agree that 2020 had more than its share of challenges. It will go down in history as one of the worst years of most people’s lives, I think. But I do think it’s important to take note of the good things that happened on both a large and small scale.

I'm a Notary Public (and you can be one too)

6 August 2020 | Comments [3] »

On August 4, I took the oath to become a Notary Public. I think it will be handy to help my clients when they need notary services. But that’s not why I did it. I did it to make easier for people to vote by mail-in or absentee ballot.

Why hire a Certified Professional Organizer?

14 March 2019 | Comments [1] »

Way back in 2008, I earned the credential Certified Professional Organizer® or CPO®. This credential is conferred by the Board of Certification for Professional Organizers as part of an accredited credentialing program. In order to become a CPO, I had to pass an exam that I studied hard for. In order to sit for the exam, I had to have 1500 paid client hours or 1250 paid client hours and 250 equivalent educational hours. (I had the latter.)

2018 highlight reel

31 December 2018 | Comments [0] »

I enjoy taking stock of the year that has just passed as I make plans and set goals for the coming year. Sometimes, I’ll post a highlight reel blog post here. I see that it’s been four years since my last highlight reel. So I thought I’d take a few minutes to share one this year.

2015 highlight reel

4 January 2016 | Comments [2] »

2015 was a challenging year for me personally, with more loss than I’ve ever experienced, along with family health issues and challenges. Thankfully, my business didn’t suffer much from the personal challenges.

2014 highlight reel

29 December 2014 | Comments [2] »

My favorite week of the year is the week between Christmas and New Year’s. I love taking stock of the year just past and planning ahead to the coming year. I also like creating a little order and just sort of getting my ducks in a row during a week where most of the world isn’t doing much work (and therefore I have time at home).

2013 highlight reel

3 January 2014 | Comments [3] »

Taking stock of the year that’s just finished can be an important part of planning the year ahead. 2013 was an exemplary year for me, so I’ve had a good time creating this year’s highlight reel. (Here’s 2012’s version.)

Highlight Reel for 2012

31 December 2012 | Comments [0] »

It’s the last day of the year and I’m putting the finishing touches on my goals for 2013. A big part of the goal-setting process for me is reviewing accomplishments of the past year. It can be easy to focus on what one didn’t accomplish last year (a side effect of setting high goals), but it’s smart to take into account the good things.

Highlight reel for 2010

31 December 2010 | Comments [0] »

On this day last year, I posted my highlight reel for 2009. For me, it’s a fun way to reflect on the past year (and remind me a year later what went down), so I’m trying it again for 2010.

Highlight reel for 2009

31 December 2009 | Comments [4] »

2009 was a year of ups and downs for me. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. As I finish inputting data into Quickbooks for the year, I realize that my revenue is down, which isn’t great. I’m chalking it up to the economy. But so many really great things happened in 2009 that I view it as a year of success and progress.
