Greetings!
We are off and running into the first quarter of 2019, and boy has it been a fun one! Thanks to Valor Games Far West, the event for ill, injured, and wounded Veterans that I direct, and people getting the purge urge from Marie Kondo, it has been a whirlwind of a year to say the least. I have been fortunate enough to be part of the transformation of people's lives since my business launched in 2011. I love seeing the value that organizing adds to people's lives. When Valor Games Far West was introduced to me in 2013 as an Event Organizing opportunity, I was all in. I never knew how much the event, its Veterans, and committee would change my life. 7 years later and now its Director, I love the organizing puzzle that Valor Games Far West is. From managing the massive hotel room list, Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs, it's a second-full time job. The event is life-changing and life-saving for our ill, injured, and wounded Veterans, which is why I wanted to highlight it this month. 
Valor Games 2019

Tidying Up with Marie Kondo
Marie Kondo's new show is a cultural phenomenon.

In the words of The Atlantic, "The organizational guru’s new Netflix series isn’t about judgment, decor, or the spectacle of mess. It’s about cultivating empathy for the things that surround us."
