have i got a gift for you!

after my most recent post about making the top ten yelp list i got a call from a producer at kgo radio who wants to interview me about my professional organizing business. wow, me really?  it feels nice to be get acknowledgment for my work but i am realizing more importantly  i am super lucky to get to do what i do.
recently i met with an indian couple who have two young sons. the parents both work full time and their older son who is 3 1/2 has been diagnosed with mild autism.  they have asked me to get rid of the chaos and clutter and make their place feel homey. i liked them immediately. they are a lovely couple and they just want the best for their kids. right now it feels like they have stuff everywhere and not many places to put it. so for the past week, i have been researching solutions for their organizing challenges...everything from listings on craigslist to shopping at retail stores. and now i have a foyer filled with items...shelving unit that i built thank you very much, a toy chest - where at the end of the day and the kids go to bed, the parents can get the living room back together just by putting the toys in the chest, to basic household items.
it feels like christmas time when you have the perfect gift for a loved one and you can't wait to give it to them.
so yes, the top the ten yelp reviews are nice but improving the quality of a person's life is even better.
