When One Strand Goes Dark
A reflective essay on Christmas, changing family traditions, and the quiet moments when seasons shift before we realize they’ve ended.

Thoughts from the trenches: Bringing you tips and tricks for organizing.
This blog is where thoughtful organizing, intentional design, and the realities of everyday life come together. Through my work with Susquehanna Organizing and Susquehanna Closet & Garage Design, I’ve seen firsthand how our homes shape our energy, our time, and our sense of calm. These posts explore what it means to create spaces that truly support the life you’re living now… not through rigid rules or minimalism for its own sake, but through clarity, compassion, and intention.
You’ll find reflections on decluttering, storage, routines, and the emotional side of “stuff,” along with practical insights drawn from years of hands-on experience. My hope is that this space feels grounding and empowering… a place to pause, rethink what matters, and build a home that works with you, not against you.
