I love sharing success stories!\u00a0 It takes courage, tenacity and a team to make a big change from a home filled to the brim to a home ready to sell.\u00a0 I am fortunate to share Audrey’s story!<\/p>\n
Audrey and I\u00a0started working together in 2007.\u00a0 We met in her home to get started organizing.\u00a0 It was a meeting that stayed on my mind, a professional and proper woman who had a home filled to the brim.\u00a0 Audrey was recently diagnosed with ADD, had become a member of our local ADD\u00a0chapter and knew of her challenges all too well.\u00a0 She was just at a beginning stage of recognizing what was ahead of her.\u00a0\u00a0 Audrey was still in denial about the challenges she faced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
About two years went by, and Audrey contact me again to help her. At this time, she had recently purchased a new home and wanted to sell her hoarded home.\u00a0 It was troubling to her, but in a compelling way.\u00a0 It was difficult to part with items in her old home, even though the new home was fully furnished.\u00a0\u00a0 She shared that at her new home, she had wished to build a shed that was hold all her belongings.\u00a0\u00a0 It would have walls and walls of shelving, just to keep her stuff.\u00a0 However, with the economy and her husband’s poor health, their new home would not include this shed.\u00a0 It was beginning to dawn on her that her belongings would not fit in her new home.\u00a0 She was beginning to part with her stuff, but it was still very difficult.<\/p>\n
A year later, in 2010, Audrey was in touch again. This time Audrey knew it was time to make a serious change.\u00a0 She must sell the old home and dispose of the contents. Together we applied to a number of television shows to get her help.\u00a0 She was willing to tell her story in exchange for the assistance provided. We were declined by all the shows.\u00a0 It was in being declined that Audrey realized she must build her own team. She invited church members over to help her declutter and move items.\u00a0 She hired a mover who also took off items and donated or sold them. Audrey paid college students to help her.\u00a0 She was making great progress.<\/p>\n
This week Audrey invited me to see her success! I am thrilled for this transformation for her.\u00a0 What did she share that made this success happen?<\/p>\n
I am attaching a gallery of shots from Audrey’s home.\u00a0 Each before picture is taken\u00a0from the hallway.\u00a0 In\u00a0the first\u00a0picture, you can’t get in the room, it is just a view of plastic bags.\u00a0\u00a0 Each room has enormous items to tackle.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Audrey is courageously sharing this success and her story.\u00a0\u00a0Thank you Audrey for partnering with me to make a difference!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
