"Your recent newsletter arrived at the perfect time – Sunday night, my time for ‘sorting and dealing’ for the coming week. I had just organized a fat pile of client papers for an upcoming event and wondered where on earth all the papers had come from. I recognized that without regular deep breathing, a cup of peach tea and basic organizing skills I learned from you, I could give in to the stress! Thank you for being right in tune with my thoughts and feelings."
