Today is the last Oprah Winfrey show, and I'll be waving goodbye along with everyone else. Oprah did a lot for the profession of professional organizing. She featured organizers on her show, in her magazines, and has even given them shows of their own.
I believe that she is single handedly responsible for bringing professional organizers into the consciousness of our everyday life. Starting with Julia Morganstern, Oprah did shows on organizing homes and offices, offering Julia the opportunity for national exposure, as well as the rest of us.
More recently, Oprah teamed with Peter Walsh and they have focused not only on home organizing, but on hoarding. Peter now has his show on Oprah's OWN network.
I love Oprah's quote, "Your house should rise up to meet you." Absolutely true, if your home is not the place you would most like to be, if it does not inspire you or make you feel good about yourself, then you need to take action and fix it. And if you'd like the help of a professional organizer, you know where you can find one.
