Life Challenges

Life Challenges

Challenges with space, clutter, and time are closely interwoven. Learn how to determine your key priorities and goals, then create a plan to allow you to spend the majority of your time on the people, places, and things that matter most.


Life Transition

A new job or the loss of a job, marriage, divorce, or widowhood, a new baby or your “baby” leaving home for college, moving into your first home or downsizing, caring for aging parents – any of these transitions, whether expected or not, can wreak havoc on your household routines. “When will things get back to normal?” you might wonder. I will help you meet the challenge of your new situation by helping you create systems for a “new normal.”

Decisions About Charitable Giving

You are solicited year-round by numerous charities, but are unsure of which – if any – to support. How can you evaluate these requests, decide how much to give, and be sure where your money goes? Learn how to give pro-actively by creating a Charitable Giving Plan. Your donations – of any size – can make a difference, for you as well as the recipient.
