Advice for this blog: Be curious
Here in the blog, I write from my heart, just like I coach. Let these blogs perk your pondering and taking action muscles. Life happens over time, it takes time to clean out the weeds. Be kind.
​
My coaching is rooted in one simple knowing: You are closer than you think. Creating space, creating your life is merely cleaning away life's residue. It's not perfection but a exploration. 😊 This is a practice of prevention, where less is more and more is less.​
​
Whether you're wanting to downsize, lighten up, simplify, get your health and vitality back, transition to a new life, or are just feeling the nudge to give yourself some fresh energy, you're in the right place.
​
Big journey's, like un-cluttering your life or revitalizing your health and happiness are best accomplished with a thriving circle around you...cheering you on and inspiring each other to keep going.
If your heart feels a little spark, trust it.

My Journey
Everyone has one, You have one...a journey. How you got to where you are right now, in this present moment.
Mine started on a farm with happy cows. I left the farm went to CSU got a degree in agricultural business. Moved from Colorado to Washington. Got married. Got a job in apartment management. Started a restorative cleaning business with my hubby. Here I learned about residue- dirt, homes, chemicals, health.
My health got wonky- (chemical exposure), I learned how to eat for health, the value/habit of being in nature. Residue free went from practical wisdom into a philosophy. I started teaching residue free cleaning, got trained in healthy homes. I found a joy and natural skill helping unclutter, simplify and lighten up our homes. So I became a life coach.
Along my 35 years I've trained in EFT, clutter clearing, habits, aging in place, co housing, asthma, air quality, healthy homes and how to maneuver life. We are never done learning. The more I learn and experience the more I'm humbled, and become more curious.
Through my travels I found I love wabi-sabi, composting, uncluttering, ducks, odd & healthy cooking, teaching, poetry & exploring simple things. Running, exploring, nature, writing, creating and sharing remain a constant loves.
As I traveled I got braver. Now you are all caught up. Thanks for being here with me. Journeys are more fun with friends.
