it's valentine's day!

this year, i feel like i am overflowing with love, and i have always loved the essence of valentine's day. it is full of love and sweetness and delight and connection.

in honor of the day, i thought i would share a story about one of my favorite things – organization. because clearly nothing says valentine's day like the thought of organizing.

(it's a shame you can't hear me giggling away over here.)

(what can i say. being a professional organizer is on my very long list of things that i think would be oodles of fun. in the meantime, i get to organize my own house every day, which is also fun.)

the invention of organization

happy day to one and all.

    Oh, I can hear you laughing! hehe… :o) LOVED the story–so great to hear your voice too. And I’d be tempted to add professional organizer to my list of dream hats to wear… I love tearing things apart and organizing–what a rush! ;o) Sending MUCH LOVE to you & Atlas this Valentine’s Day ((HUGS))
