Before we get into the main topic of this week's podcast episode, I have two time-sensitive subjects I want to share with you.
First, the Organize 365 National Convention will be held in Dallas from June 7th to June 9th. Ticket sales end at midnight on May 29th, so make sure you get yours while you still can! The tickets are selling FAST, so click here to get your ticket today!!
The second thing I'd like to discuss is the 100 Day Home Organization Program. Although it can be completed within 100 days, some of you may not be able to complete the program within the recommended time slot, and that's okay.

It's not as easy as it seems, right? And yet, that's how I felt. Happy.
Seasons of Parenting
I'm the type of person who enjoys every season of parenting. I live in the moment.
My son Joey is leaving for college soon, and many people have told me that I'm going to be sad when he leaves. But I don't think I will be that sad. Don't get me wrong, I'll miss him when he goes. But at the same time, I love seeing him grow up and going off to college is just another step in his journey.
If you're a new parent, you'll face many obstacles throughout your child's life, and with each stage that passes, another will take its
