A friend has been packing for a big move. And that packing has turned into a lot of sorting and cleaning and dumping and donating as she sorts through 22 years worth of furniture, books, art and all those boxes in the closets. We seem to accumulate a lot of stuff as we go through life. And the longer we stay in one place, the more stuff we gather around us. Then when it’s time to […]

A few years ago, I subscribed to an industry newsletter to help me get a better understanding of the industry, as we were taking on a new client, and that knowledge was useful.
