As the year draws to a close, I’d like to express my gratitude for all that’s happened this year. I’ve had a great year! I’ve had wonderful clients, lots of support from friends and family, and fabulous opportunities. Thank you to all of you out there who have supported me, encouraged me, and provided me with connections that helped me to make Organizing by Cheryl what it is today! I’m eternally grateful!
Here’s a look back at some of the great things that happened:
- Lots of clients! Many days this year I had two clients a day! I love what I do, and I am especially happy when I am helping lots of people!
- My minimalist apartment was featured in a Nourishing Minimalism blog post!

- North Shore 104.9 did a radio interview with me.
- The Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce members voted Organizing by Cheryl as Best New Member 2018.

- I continued to be an active member of the Lynn, Peabody, and Beverly Chambers of Commerce along with ongoing participation in the North Shore Business Builders and the North Shore Business Forum. So many great local business groups here in Massachusetts!
- I became a professional member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO).
- I was invited to be on a panel for the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce’s Young Entrepreneurs Academy; this will happen in February of 2019.
