God wrote the story of your life before you were even born. He wrote HIStory, and He writes your story! But sometimes life gets bogged down with so much clutter that we can no longer see the purpose God has in store for us.
You are here for a reason!! I want to help you remove any clutter that is getting in the way of God’s specific purpose for your life. YOUR PURPOSE is HIStory!

I have been married for almost 20 years to my high school sweetheart Josh. Here we are with our two “Mini Me” teenagers Randsley and Bryceton. Randsley loves organizing, planning, and dreaming. Bryceton loves anything that has to do with a ball, especially a baseball.
Ever since I can remember I have loved God and felt he existed. I don’t why this is. If there was a defining moment, I don’t remember it. The only way I can explain it is like there was a string that kept pulling me back to him, one that was tied from my heart to His. He was out there somewhere and I kept trying to get to Him.
In early middle school, I asked my mom to sign me up for VBS at a church we sometimes attended. She did and I loved it! In 7th grade, a friend asked me to go to Christian summer camp with her and I remember feeling like it was where I belonged. I would stand there singing “Here I Am Lord” literally thinking “here I am Lord use me, please!!!”
I am still praying that prayer! I want God’s will to be done in my life no matter what.
See God chooses us. The Father is the one that plays the most active role in salvation and your relationship with Jesus. God draws us to Him. He chooses us, picks us, calls us, ANOINTS us! Then when we accept that probing or calling, we give our life to Him and because of that, we WANT to be more like Jesus. SO God does the urging and then we decide whether or not we want to believe.
When I was 19 I left NY and moved to Florida. I attended Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. There I spent a few crazy years living like a typical college kid (only in paradise near the beach). Yes it was the time of my life! A couple of months after graduation I had the opportunity to move to Charlotte, NC. I knew the job market was hopping there so I jumped on it!
A few months later I landed my first corporate position. That lead to several others. I was fresh out of college working for one corporation after another doing what I thought I should do having a degree in business and marketing. But God had a whole other plan waiting for me.
Remember he has already written HIStory.
So what happened next?
911 happened.
911 happened and EVERYTHING changed.
Not only for the world but in my small corner of it.
Shortly after 911 took place I was laid off from my job at Clear Channel radio. By then I was married to my high school sweetheart, Josh, and were the proud parents of our brand new baby girl. Up until that point in my life my goal was to land a job corporate America and make a lot of money. I had succeeded but I was left feeling like there had to be more. Something out there much more fulfilling.
While I was laid off, I picked up a book called “Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow“. In the book the author kept asking “What are you passionate about?”. The first word that would jump in my head each time was “organizing”. That was something that really got me excited! But I didn’t think I could make a living doing that. Fast forward into several months of praying and soul searching, I realized God was whispering….”go for it, I chose to give you this gift and this passion for a specific reason”.
See the cool thing is God knows the plans he has for our lives before we are even born. He writes history because it is HIStory. He writes your story! I like to imagine that there is a big black curtain somewhere in the distance with our purpose behind it. We can see it but it is hard to get to it because of all the distractions cluttering up our path from where we stand to that curtain. If only we could learn how to clear that clutter and stay focused long enough to rip that curtain open! There we would find that our PURPOSE is HIStory!!!
I really had no idea what would happen that day I said yes to organizing. I started my business in Charlotte which soon lead me to a move back home to NY. I started a weekly newsletter on my website which lead to the first of four books being published (the Organize Now! series). With each book I released my clientele, along with my speaking engagements, grew. It was a fun and exciting ride! And then God intervened once again.
