Comments About Finally Organized, Finally Free
- Your Finally Organized, Finally Free books have
definitely changed my life. I absolutely had no idea
where to begin! The task of decluttering was simply too
overwhelming. Being a working mum and single parent, I
was too busy and feeling frazzled all the time. Your
books are so full of practical tips and ideas that
they've become my absolute essential: I just review them
to get what I need...Thank you!
Pilar, Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Finally a product that works. I've read so many
books and articles on organization and use the Finally
Organized Finally Free book as a reference weekly. You
have a way of presenting the ideas in a simple, do-able,
achievable way. Thank you for doing this.
Allison Rastree
- I just finished your book, Finally Organized
Finally Free for the Home. My friends and family think I
am a very organized person. I have always tried to be
that way. It makes life so much easier. I must say, even
though I do not have any organizational problems, I
thoroughly enjoyed the book. I am always anxious to read
or hear about the advice from others. I have always tried
to help others to be organized. I am telling people about
the book, now that I have read it. Anyone who needs
organizational help or just enjoys helping others, should
purchase this book. Everything you would want to tell
someone about organizing you can find in Finally
Organized, Finally Free for the Home. Thanks so much for
such an enjoyable and informative book.
Linda Oliver
- A very quick note to say thank you for your
amazing book, Finally Organized, Finally Free for the
Office. I love it and I like the way it's laid out with
very easy step by step processes. This is extremely
helpful for linear-thinking challenged folk like me! I am
so grateful I found your site and book--it's made a huge
difference in organizing my business and keeping me sane
as I too operate a small business out of my home with a 2
and 1/2 year old!
Wendy Johnstone, Eldercare Planning Specialist
- Over the years I have bought numerous books on
paper clutter and how to get organized, but I really like
your style of writing and presentation in Finally
Organized, Finally Free. It's simple, not overwhelming,
and covers such a wide variety of topics. The helpful
ideas and pictures add interest to the pages. AND, since
I have the digital version, I feel more comfortable using
a highlighter to mark certain points.
Debra Handsman, West Orange, NJ
- Finally Organized, Finally Free is an excellent
resource! Thanks so much! Plus, your GON site really
helps me. I just started a new job, and I have already
been complimented on my organizational skills, thanks to
Get Organized Now!™The GON forum is great for
bouncing ideas back and forth and coming up with
solutions to specific problems. Thanks again!
Linda Dunnihoo, Mt Aukum CA
- Today I received Finally Organized, Finally Free
and I am so excited! Although I have been reading your
Web site the past week and implementing some of the
organizational skills, there is so much in your book. I
will take the book to work and share and implement and
organize. I am a back office supervisor and was looking
to cut as much time as possible by being extremely
organized at work. I supervise six people and delegation
is something I need to gain strength in. I know your book
will help me and my team members be better organized.
Norma Cook
- I can't tell you enough how the organizational
concepts in your book along with your tips and monthly
checklists on your email newsletter have enhanced my
life, both personally and with my home business. Thanks!
Jody Kirby
Advanced Sales Director-Pampered Chef
- I've just finished reading your book (the first
time through). There are so many things that will help me
stay on top of things, especially now as we're gearing up
for another school year. My kids are 12 and 9, and I plan
to share bits and pieces of your book with them so they
can begin the good habit getting and staying organized.
Thanks!
Barb Perry
- First off, I wanted to let you know that I love
your site. I've been visiting for almost a year now. Your
site has so much useful information. I also have bought
your book 'Finally Organized, Finally Free' and it has
helped me get organized at home and at work, therefore
increasing my productivity.
Scott Harrison, Glassboro, NJ
- Your book has really inspired me to get organized.
I've gotten rid of well over 20 bags of junk. Even my
garage is starting to look great!
Carol J. Smith
- A very BIG thank you for your fabulous book. I
have started working through it and it is stunning.
Maria,you really have a wonderful gift and I want to
compliment you on the way you have used it. This is the
sort of book that needs to be widely circulated here in
South Africa.
Roy Sumption, South Africa
- Maria, I can’t tell you how much I’ve been
enjoying your book! Your suggestions are just great, with
so many good ideas for entrepreneurial moms like me.
Kate R. Lozier, CPA, East Greenbush, NY, TuffBaggs
- I got my order of your book and I am so excited. I
really like the format of the book. There are so many
hints. I have already started applying some of them and I
am finding I have a master bedroom again. Congratulations
on a terrific product! And thanks for all of your
support!
Diane Pickerill, Louisville, KY
- Your book which I got for my birthday has been a
tremendous help. Thanks again!
Amanda Chesser, Abilene, TX
- I also have your book, and have really enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for helping right-brained people like me!
Cindy Rogers, Liberty, MO
- I recently purchased your book, Finally Organized,
Finally Free and am currently reading it so I can
simplify and organize my personal and business space.
It's wonderful to have access to all these great ideas!
Susan B. Hutches, New York, NY
- I love your book and it has inspired me to make
some changes in my life that even my family has started
to organize their lives!
Julia Fong, Unionville, Ontario, Canada
- Because of your Web site, book and newsletters,
I've found time to organize. I've written down my goals,
prepared my calendar for 2000, organized my bathroom
cabinets, put away the gift wrap items in a great way
that I plan to share with you, got caught up on my
Continuing Legal Education online (I had kept putting it
off and needed 15 hours by 12/31!), helped the boys
organize their shelves in their rooms to display and keep
their new things, cleaned out my least favorite closet (
pantry off our kitchen that holds cleaning, pet, assorted
items), and have put together and used my bill paying
system for our personal bills and my office bills.
I'm sure there is more, but those are the big ones, and
I have to brag to someone!
By the way, my husband
is most impressed at my getting things together around
here, and my sisters were thrilled with their copies of
Finally Organized, Finally Free that I gave them for
Christmas. They are both ready to join the ranks of
getting organized.
My new year is already looking
great. I can't tell you how incredibly happy I am to be
starting out with achievable goals for both my home and
career. Each day brings more accomplishments, order and
stress-free living, and it's truly exhiliarating and
contagious. You should know that your ideas and
encouragement have gotten me and others off to such a
great start!
Barbara Klitch, Austin, TX
- Your newsletter and book are wonderful!
James Williamson,
- I cannot thank you enough for your book! I use it
for inspiration and guidance as I try to organize my job,
my home and my life bit by bit! I never knew getting
organized could be such fun! And you know what? I think
it is contagious! The other night my husband sat at the
kitchen table, looking very thoughtful. When I asked him
what he was thinking about he said: ‘I think we should
move the safe into my study. That way, we can use the
space under the stairs more efficiently!’ So Maria, once
again, many thanks for the book! I'm really getting
organized now and I'm sure your wonderful book will
follow me into the new millennium!
Gunvor Andersson-Storck, Upsalla, Sweden
- I received my book yesterday and it will be my
constant companion for the next millenium! Of course, I
couldn't resist going through the whole thing, but now
I'm starting at the beginning. Can't wait to Get
Organized Now!™
Mary Miller, Reisterstown, MD
- What a wonderful book! Although I think of myself
as a very organized person, your book had excellent tips
and formats that, even for an organized person, were at
the very least reinforcing and supportive. I have already
recommended it to several people.
Sonny DiGiralomo, Mays Landing, NJ
- I really like the way you started the reader out
with soul-searching and self-evaluation surveys for time
and space styles in your book, Finally Organized, Finally
Free. Very well done, very personal and very effective!
Debbie Williams, Houston, TX, Professional Organizer
- My 9 year old daughter, has taken your new book
(Finally Organized, Finally Free) away from me for a
while. She is totally glued to it and wants to get her
room and desk organized. She only has 1 more week before
school starts, so it can be hers for 7 more days! Your
book is so hard to put down! I love it! My daughter,
Erika wanted my attention so bad, she kept asking what I
was reading. So I showed her and she then took it and
disappeared.
Valerie Rowlls, Lafayette, GA
- I love the book and hope you sell a million
copies. The book is such a nice collection of people's
names and ideas. It is a very special book, very
specially done. Do you have an idea for your next book? I
bet you do!
Susan Ramsay, Nashua, NH
- I wanted to let you know that we received your
book on Saturday. It's well thought out, includes great
topics, clearly written, very informative and clever!!
Boy, there isn't a soul that would have any excuse to
continue to be disorganized after reading it!
Barbara Knecht, Florida, NY
- I received your book last week and have been
reading a little at a time. I appreciate your help and I
am enjoying what I have read. I will be able to put a lot
of your ideas to use in our household. Thank you so much.
Julia Erickson, Forest Grove, OR
- Thank you Maria for your help. I'm glad I'm on my
way to being organized. I’m enjoying Finally Organized,
Finally Free. Can’t wait to implement the many features
you’ve outlined!
Cylinda Mathews, El Cajon, CA, Crochet Memories
- I mentioned to you in one of my initial notes that
I've read other publications on organization. Your book,
Finally Organized, Finally Free is the first; however,
that I've encountered that, after reading, I said to
myself, ‘Hey, I can do that.’ Many others I would laugh
and say, ‘Yeah, right!’ The layout is simply exceptional.
Yours is a COMPLETE guide to organizing!
JoAnne Horvath, Bowling Springs, PA
- Maria’s book, Finally Organized, Finally Free, is
a must-have for the busy entrepreneur!
Rozey Gean, Warren, MI, Women Entrepreneur’s Online Network

a special place on my coffee table!

many wonderful ideas that I haven’t even thought of!
Thanks!
Jean Flanagan, Boulder City, NV
- Thinking of you with much gratitude. Every time I
sit at my desk and am actually able to work at a clear
space, I send you blessings. Thanks so much for your
help, and your book!
Janice Campanelli, Watertown, WI
- I have been reading your new book, Finally
Organized, Finally Free, over the past couple of days and
am enjoying it thoroughly!! It has exceeded my
expectations! You cover an incredible amount of material!
Vinny Guida, Hampton, GA
- I recently purchased Finally Organized, Finally
Free and just received it. It is a fantastic book! I
haven't been able to put it down!
Karen Sojka
- I love your Web site! I have looked at least 50
organizing Web site and yours is by far the best. I look
forward to getting receiving a new e-mail newsletter,
opening and reading it immediately when it comes. I have
purchased your book, Finally Organized, Finally Free and
loved it as well. I am probably going to get one for my
parents, too. Thanks!
Celine Wilson
- I have to tell you all that I reviewed Maria's
book Finally Organized, Finally Free for my ReviewZ
newsletter. It was the BEST book I've read on
organization. There were so many tips and tricks! I also
like her Web site. The monthly lists keep me on target.
Amy Shellhase, Digital Woman
- I have your Finally Organized, Finally Free book
and I love it. Thank you!
Gwen Lawing
- I just got your book Finally Organized, Finally
Free and I was impressed. I went through each section and
put stars by the ideas that I want to implement in my new
house.
Martha Sheppard
- Dear Maria, I have your and your book, Finally
Organized, Finally Free. They are great! One of the
systems I love from your book is setting up a mail center
in my office. I mail products to out-of-town clients and
being ready had helped so much. I am with Mary Kay, and
last week at our meeting, I was in charge of training the
consultants. I chose for my topic organization, and when
I told them about your tip about the training center, I
wish you could have seen them! It was the favorite tip of
the whole session-I gave you credit for it and gave out
your Web site address, as well!
Sandy Guderyon
- Can’t tell you how excited I was when Finally
Organized, Finally Free arrived--and such fast service!
Wow! I just know this is going to be the solution to all
my organizational problems. Thank you, Maria, for your
book, and for providing such a valuable service with your
Get Organized Now!™ Web site.
Jane E. Belcher, Ann Arbor, MI
- I have finished reading your book and can honestly
say it's worth 3 times the price! I cannot tell you how
many unclutter projects I've started in the past 10 years
that never got finished. Since finding your site I've
completed every single one and they are staying
uncluttered. I finally feel freedom, and I have you to
thank for it.
I've recommended you to all my
friends, and printed ‘The Clutter Saga’ from your
discussion forum for my Uncle who is not online. He
enjoyed it so much he shared it with everyone at his
Seniors Apartment building and with his minister. Now
half his building is working on their own clutter. It's
amazing how just a little encouragement can go such a
long way. I’m your newest raving fan!
Susan Orchard, Belleville, MI
- Thank you so much for your book Finally Organized,
Finally Free. It’s great! I am learning a great deal,
making plans, getting motivated. I've already put some
ideas to work, and they work! Thank you again.
Carol Jansch
- Just wanted to let you know that I am still
reading through the books I ordered from you. I am
finding some very usable information in the ‘Finally
Organized, Finally Free’ book. BTW, I really like the
spiral binding...it makes for easier page management!
Thanks for the encouragement!
Alison Grinnan, Luray, VA, Grincol Hollow Flutterby Farm
- I've been an avid reader of your Get Organized
Now!™ Web site. I think it's an excellent site and
I've learned a lot. I just ordered your book and
organizer so I can continue in my efforts to get
organized. Thanks!
June Lemen
- Maria, I have never been a very organized person,
but since our son was born, our disorganization has
gotten out of control. My mom bought your book, Finally
Organized, Finally Free and lent it to me. Last night, my
husband and I finished organizing our living room. What a
feeling!! And what an appropriate name for your book! We
really do finally feel free of clutter and mess! Things
finally have places and my husband and I are proud that
we did it ourselves. Now, I won't feel so embarrassed
when people come to visit. We know it's just one room,
but it's a first step to our whole house. Thank you so
much!
Veronica Brewer
Comments About the Easy Organizer
- I have to admit that I am the most unorganized person that
I know. I have always had a problem with organization
skills. I have always envied the born organized people in
my life. Organization is so important in your daily life.
Life is easier and more enjoyable when you are organized.
Remember, the saying a place for everything and everything
in it's place. It is so true. You have what you need, right
there when you need it. I was recently given the
opportunity to review a product called the Get Organized
Now! Easy Organizer, by Maria Gracia. I have to say, I
absolutely love it. I have found the answer to my
organization dilemma.
Everything you could possibly need or imagine is provided
for you in the Easy Organizer. There is a place for family
information, goals and planning, personal growth and many
more. There are over 200 pages of easy to use tools. They
are terrific and so helpful. It feels so good to know that
when you write your information in the printed pages that
it is there to stay. And when you need to access it, it is
always right there. It's a very comforting feeling.
Now, when I commit to doing 3 days of exercise, it is right
in my easy organizer and I can check it off when I complete
it and feel a sense of accomplishment. Or when I pay my
electric bill for the month, I just jot it down in the
organizer and am stress free. The printed version comes
with 200 pages with all the forms, checklists and includes
a 3 ring binder with index tabs.
The Get Organized Now! Easy Organizer is also available for
digital download as well. The Easy Organizer has a 60 day
money back guarantee, so if you are not satisfied with it
for some reason you can return it with a note, for a full
refund on the price of the product. I am very happy with
this product and think it is brilliant, It is truly a must
have. I really think you will love it.
Kelly Hench, Self Help Mom
- I have been wanting to buy the EZ Organizer for
over a year now, but I vowed that I wouldn't until I was
debt-free from college. Hence, I just bought it last week
and I got it yesterday. I am so psyched! I had to tear
myself away from it in order to go into work. But by then
I was on such an organizing kick that I persuaded my
manager to let me have three hours undisturbed to clean
out and organize our staff's closet...and now everything
can be found with ease. :) It is so satisfying to know
that there are others out there who get great
satisfaction from putting everything in its proper place.
The EZ Organizer is great. Each page is explained so well
in the beginning portion, and I love how everything is
thought out in a way that makes it possible to simply
reuse the pages enclosed.
Erin Fair, Yakima, Washington
- WOW!!!!!!!! I am really impressed! I was a little
leary of purchasing a digital organizer. In the past I
have been very disappointed in purchased products. The
Easy Organizer downloaded without a hitch. Exploring its
many options has increased my excitement for getting
control of my life - I CAN get organized!! Thank you for
a great product
Judy Wooten, Texas
- I just downloaded the Easy Organizer and
absolutely love it already! We are a military family and
move all the time, I have started excel spreadsheets like
the ones included, but have never been able to finish
them or would not have gone into the detail yours has.
This will make our moves so much easier! I also ordered
your filing system and can’t wait for it!
Shannon Eichhorn
- I love the Easy Organizer. I am amazed at how it
is organized. It's everything I've always wanted to write
out, but did know how...or have the time, to do. It's the
most thorough ones I've ever seen. Thanks again.
Chiquita Battle
- I received the Easy Organizer-Digital Version.
Thank you very much! WOW, it sure looks like you have
covered everything!
Trish Love, Franklin, WI
- I was able to download the Organizer! WOW! It is
even more awesome than I imagined it would be! Thank you!
Christi Honaker
- Thank you very much for the Easy Organizer. I am
just amazed to see how much you have done to make our
lives simplified. I have started using it and I am very
satisfied. Hope you make many good products like this
one.
Soma Chakrabarti
- Many thanks for the Easy Organizer Download,
congratulations on yet another wonderful organizing tool.
I ordered Finally Organized Finally Free last year and to
be honest it has been the best money I have ever spent
(including the shipping to the UK!) However, the new
downloadable Easy Organizer has made obtaining your
materials so much easier and so quick!!! Please keep up
the good work and introduce more tools that can help us
on our journey to a more organized life!
Leandra Barclay, United Kingdom
- Your Easy Organizer yields motivation and personal
growth. I love my Easy Organizer!
Linda Steg, Omaha, NE
- Just wanted to tell you I love your site! I
ordered your Easy Organizer and am waiting patiently for
it to come. Well not really, actually Im running home
everyday to check my mail!
Denise Gercich, Middletown, NY
- I have to write and tell you what I've been doing.
I have been using your Easy Organizer to the fullest. I
think every home manager should go to her Easy Organizer
every day and see what comes next. I am using the chore
chart for my family to see what needs to be done and see
what I've done so far. Even though I am at home all day,
I want my daughters to know how to do laundry and learn
to keep a neat home and environment for family and
friends to see! In section 6 of the Easy Organizer, the
Daily Planner helps me to say, ‘No, I don't have time for
that.’ I can see how my day is going to go. I just want
to thank you again!
Valerie Rowlls, Lafayette, GA
- I just got my Easy Organizer and I already love
it. I can tell it is going to be a BIG help. Thanks so
much for making it available.
Pam Ivey
- I am very happy with the Easy Organizer! It
definitely is more complete and encompassing than any
other organizer I’ve ever used. Thanks!
Denise Caporale, Dobbs Ferry, NY
- Maria, I received your Easy Organizer and have no
words to express my gratitude. You have sparked an idea
that will be a turning point in our lives. We will be
doing this starting this weekend.
Lynni Moldonado
- Thank you so much! I love the Easy Organizer! I
was studying it last night, and have already started to
implement some of the items (i.e. grocery list - I always
forget those obscure items like oven cleaner and such,
the chore chart which I will INSIST my kids follow, and
the kids reminder lists - EXCELLENT!! I'm even going to
try to use the weekly menu planner to save some $$$ on
groceries.
Denise Mackereth, Canada
- We use our Easy Organizer every day. Now when my
husband says, ‘What am I suppose to do today?’ I say look
in the Easy Organizer. Thanks so much!
Martha Dove
Comments About the Ultimate Guide for Professional Organizers
- Maria, I just really wanted to let you and your
husband know that your book, 'The Ultimate Guide For
Professional Organizers,' is the best book I have yet to
read or buy on any subject pertaining to getting a
business up and going. Most books that you read go into
the business license and getting a checking account
started the same ole same ole and then when you get to
the nuts and bolts of things, you only get nuts. There is
never enough of information in the other books I have
read. Thank you both for such a great job on your book.
The information you supply in your book can basically be
used for most any business that one is trying to get
going. The book is worth its weight in gold. I would
surely recommend this book to anyone. Thank you so much,
and I thank God I found your site and all of your
valuable information.
Fran Collins, Largo, Florida
- Your Ultimate Guide for Professional Organizers is
exactly what I needed! Even more than I had expected!
Renate Meitner, Munchen, Germany
- I bought your Ultimate Guide for Professional
Organizers about a year ago and have found it a great
help!
Amanda Sarden, The Organising Place, Sydney, Australia
- I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful
book, The Ultimate Guide for Professional Organizers. I
wasn't able to put the book down. It has so many great
ideas. I received another book that said it was going to
help me out too, but it was a waste of my time and money.
I would have paid double your price for your valuable
information. Thanks!
Julie Daw
- What an inspiration you and your Web site have
been to me! I've ordered two of your products: Finally
Organized, Finally Free and the Ultimate Guide for
Professional Organizers. They are so helpful!! I'm
learning a lot, and gaining so much confidence for
starting my own organizing business!
Margo Kalfas
- I was facinated by all of the information that was
in your Ultimate Guide for Professional Organizers. Thank
you so much. Your guide became my diving board into this
profession.
Debra Nielsen, Port St. Lucie, FL
- Just wanted top say thanks, many times over. I
purchased your 'Ultimate Guide for Professional
Organizers' and it's terrific. I also receive your
newsletter and other items and all are extremely helpful.
Thanks again for all your hard work!
Pamela Colovos Setinc
- I just wanted to compliment you on your Ultimate
Guide for Professional Organizers! I think that it is a
great resource that has lots of very useful and
informative information. I met someone at the NAPO 2001
Conference who suggested I buy the manual, so I did. I'm
happy to have the manual. I've also referred many fellow
organizers to your site to buy the guide. I'm the NAPO-LA
New Member Coordinator and am happy to recommend your
manual to the new organizers. Thanks for such a great
resource!!
Marilyn Crouch, Avenues To Organization, Redondo Beach, CA
- I am so happy I purchased your Ultimate Guide for
Professional Organizers. I know that it will help us
build the size of business we are planning. The
information is so thorough and complete--it is brilliant!
Christie Radcliffe, My Organized Friend, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- I just received my Professional Organizers Guide
yesterday and I couldn't put it down! Thank you so much!
I know some major things I need to change to make my
business successful. I just had to email you and tell
you! Thank you again!
Sandy Mester, Busy Mum Organizing & More, Virginia Beach, VA
- I just wanted to thank you for your encouragement
in the field of professional organizing. I am having so
much fun learning the ropes. I enjoy and constantly refer
to the Ultimate Guide for PO's. There is so much
information that is so helpful to those of us who are
just getting started!
Linda M. DePaz, Be Clutter-Free
- Thank you for ALL you do. You have really changed
my life and attitude, and given me a boost of confidence
for marketing my business. Thank you a million times!
Jessica Duquette, In Perfect Order, Woodland Hills, CA
- I've dropped everything and already begun reading
The Ultimate Guide for Professional Organizers--
fantastic. Even though I am 8 months into my business
there is so much to learn and already I've got ideas. And
that's only up to chapter 3! I can see this is going to
be a very heavily used tool.
Catherine Smith, New Zealand, Spacesmiths
- Maria: Your ‘Ulitimate Guide for Professional
Organizers’ is GREAT! Thank you so much for sharing your
expertise and experience. Wish I had the guide a year
ago!
Kay Wylie, Springfield, MO, Save You Time
- Dear Maria, I just wanted to let you know how
happy I am with your book that you put together for
Professional Organizers. Your book touches on so many
questions that I had. Even topics such as ‘what to wear’
were touched on. You are very insightful and I really
enjoy your style. Your marketing ideas and reprintable
pages in the back are just incredible. Thank you for all
of your help!!!
Donna Sleasman, Gainesville, FL, Life Organizing Services
- I wanted to thank you so much for writing your
Ultimate Guide for PO’s. It was a great investment for
me. It broke my creativity block and opened a floodgate.
I'm so glad you have such a successful business and so
glad you wrote a good book for organizers!
Cindy Flood
- Dear Maria: I recently purchased your book ‘The Ultimate Guide for Professional Organizers,’ and must say I am VERY impressed. ULTIMATE, is definitely the word for your manual. It includes everything a person needs to know from getting started to growing your business, and it includes samples of forms for us to use. Thank you so much Maria, for all you support and encouragement. Lives have been better because of you.
Jacqueline Sisson, MA
- I thoroughly enjoyed your book (Ultimate Guide for
Professional Organizers), and have recommended it to 3
people already. Your sections on marketing vehicles and
Web marketing were ‘awesome!’
Vickey Kaiser, Fredonia, NY
- I got your Ultimate Organizer's manual and was
impressed. Lots of good stuff.
LaNita Filer-Jones, LFJ Organizing Concepts Plus
- Maria, just wanted to drop you a note and tell you
how much I have enjoyed your guide for professional
organizers. I was really down last night and I know it
takes time to build a business. Anyway, I pulled out your
book and just got a lot of encouragement out of it. Thank
you.
Cindy Flood
Comments About the Easy Bill Paying System
- I recently purchased your Easy Bill Paying System
and all I have to say is that it is FABULOUS! In fact, I
am so pleased, I'm ordering more of your tools. Your
stuff is just what my life needs!
Katie Siuda
Comments About the Holiday Planner
- I just wanted to let you know I used your Holiday
Planner this season. I loved it! I knew what presents I
had bought, put down ideas for future presents, organized
my supplies, etc. etc. This Christmas was not as
stressful as past ones as: I was organized! Thank you so
much for sharing your ideas with others.
Daneen Gunter
- Your Holiday Planner and the tips from your
newsletter really helped make this holiday season more
relaxing and enjoyable!
Karen Praetzel, Mullica Hill, NJ
- The Holiday Planner was a Godsend for us last
season. My husband and I both got to the point we did not
want to travel home for the holidays. We were so bored.
Thanks to the Holiday Planner, we now know how to create
new traditions that meet our needs. By reading the
questions in The Holiday Planner and discovering what was
missing in our holidays, we pinpointed suggestions that
were closest to the cheer and warmth he and I enjoy
including food, games, even the clothes we would wear.
Everything stressed the season's meaning and specifically
fit each activity we planned. We discussed plans to do
what made us happy and what we thought others might enjoy
and then invited others to join us rather than do what
left us empty (e.g. sit around indoors without the
benefit of fresh air and exercise.) At the end of the
season we left our family feeling more refreshed and
loved than any holiday season we experienced in the five
years we had been traveling home from out of state.
Thanks to Maria!
Cheryl Jackson, Georgetown, Texas
- Thanks so much for your wonderful Get Organized
Now!™ Holiday Planner. I would have had to cancel
Christmas without it!

Comments About My Oh-So-Organized Filing System
- Your My Oh-So-Organized Filing System was just the
ticket for me to finally get my files lean and mean! I
started one Saturday afternoon with four file drawers and
two boxes. A few hours, three bags of shredded material
and one Pride and Prejudice miniseries on DVD later, I
was down to just one two-drawer file cart with a handful
of stackable trays, one grab-and-go file holder for my
desk and an organized box of manuals and warranties for
my husband's workbench. All I had to do was open the
filing system, put labels on folders, and get to work.
Besides having everything all planned and printed, the
most helpful aspect of the system was the handy guide. I
learned there were plenty of papers that needed to be
shredded instead of filed and I gleaned some really
useful tips for keeping information at my fingertips. I
never realized how much information I kept scattered
around the house. Now it's all in one place--easy to find
and easy to use. The day after I finished setting up the
system my husband needed a manual for one of our
appliances. I was able to locate it within seconds. Boy,
was he impressed! Thanks again for such a great product.
Cate Brizzell, Author of 'Real People Don't Diet'
- I wanted to thank you for putting together My Oh-So-
Organized Filing System. It is such a simple idea, but
worth every penny. I put your system to work immediately,
and you should see my filing drawer--it's beautiful! I
could not have achieved the level of success without your
completely thought out system. It's wonderful. Everything
is filed away and neat and organized. I can find
anything. I showed my husband and he was so impressed, he
was telling the neighbors! Excellent product--I highly
recommend it!
Jennifer Thoden, Drapery Sewing Supplies
- I just wanted to thank you for the new product, My
Oh-So-Organized Filing System. I had been telling my
husband since Christmas that I just needed to take a day
off from work to work on filing, because it's not been
taken care of very well since our second child was born
(over three years ago!) With both of us working full
time, things tended to get piled, not filed. I was a
little skeptical when I opened the package, but I
literally took a half day off from work one day - and set
up all the new files. Then I proceeded to weed through
all our old and current info - shredding three bags full
of old documents. I must say - my husband was very
impressed when he got home. He knows where to find
everything now - and it's such a relief to me to be able
to pay something and have a 'place' to put the
bill/receipt. I had never thought about the categories
the way you had them set up, but they worked beautifully
and helped me so much with deciding what to keep and what
to toss. Now, if I can just get the tickler file
finished - we'll be in business. Thank you so much for
all you do!
Denise Altman
- I am very happy with My Oh-So-Organized Filing
System. I think the categories are well thought out and
it has given me inspiration to finally start to file away
all the paper work sitting on my desk! Fantastic product,
thank you!
Kaleicha Vilo
- I received the filing system today and have
started to label and organize my files. I hesitated to
get it, because, after all, why should I pay for file
folder labels when I could just write out my own? After
receiving the booklet and labels, I'm so grateful that so
much of the organizing work has been done for me! This
system seems very well thought-out and is a breeze to
implement. Thank you so much for developing this system--
it is well worth the money and then some!

Comments About the Give to Get Marketing Solution
- I recently purchased the Give to Get Marketing
Solution and Finally Organized, Finally Free and they are
terrific.
Ailsa Kellam, Organize It
- I have just received my Give to Get Marketing
Solution book written by your husband, Joe Gracia. I was
somewhat skeptical of all that it offered in the advert,
but after reading it, it is THE BEST marketing book I
have ever read. I have read so many marketing books over
the past several weeks my head is spinning. Not one has
come close to the clear, EASY, succinct, obvious methods
detailed in this program. I put myself into the shoes of
a consumer and everything that was mentioned fell into
place. I never really thought about it but Joe is right;
tips such as ‘what is in it for me,’ the lists and
offers. It has simplified everything. I have been
dreading writing a marketing plan but now am all fired up
since I finally UNDERSTAND what to do! Thanks again for
offering such a great resource.
Patricia Cox Ph.D., Dripping Springs, TX, The Organization Doctor
Multiple Product and Other Happy Comments
- I now own the Easy Organizer, the Finally
Organized, Finally Free series, The Ultimate Guide for
Professional Organizers, the Give to Get Marketing
Solution and the Breakthough Marketing Breakthroughs
Newletter. I am pleased with every one of their products
and I feel they were well worth the money I spent for
them. They are reasonably priced--lot of value for the
money. As I proceed with my endeavors I plan on
patterning my business as they have suggested. It makes
so much sense.
Tina Walker
- I have purchased several different tools for
organization from you. Each thing I have purchased from
you has helped me to get on track. I'm still a ways from
getting it all done, but I am making progress like I
never thought possible. Your tools have helped me to
simplify so much.
Erika Clift, Realtor, Texas
- I am so impressed with your customer service. I
have been so impressed with everything I have seen so far
and my kids called to say that my FileWise arrived today.
I can hardly wait to get home and see!! I am indeed
telling all of my friends and relatives about your
website and products. Keep up the good work!
Barbara Solsaa
- Maria, you are a beautiful person. Thank you for
helping me maintain my sanity. Your website is extremely
uplifting, helpful and informative.
Scott Thomas
- Your products and website have been a pleasure to
read and utilize. Both have made a difference in my
company (environmental consulting) and at home. The
electronic versions of your books have been met my needs
right on target. Please feel free to use me as a
reference.
William W. Frerichs, President, The Green Environmental Group, Ltd
- I'm a big fan of your Web site! I have bought
several things from you. Congratulations for your work,
it's wonderful!
Maricarmen Hernandez, Mexico D.F.
- Just wanted to let you know that I love your
products. I've found them to be incredibly helpful and
inspirational in my personal life.
Fran Nawrocki
- It has been a pleasure to conduct business with
you. You truly understand the phrase 'exceptional
customer service.'
Cathy Johnson, Gastonia, NC
- Hi My name is Rhoda and I learned about your Web
site thru another Web site for single parents. I enjoy
reading self help literature and have only found one good
book on organizing that was not complicated. When I went
to your sight I was so impressed I bought three of your
books and for me that is rare. Please keep up the good
work, you talk about how people can get to their goals
and organize their life in a realistic, reachable way.
Rhoda
- Dear Maria: I could not be more pleased with your
book. Not only does it contain many helpful hints, etc.,
but, it is in a binder form which is truly the best form
for myself. I enjoy laying a book out flat and so few
books are made that way. Again, everything I ordered was
very satisfactory - and I thank you for your Web site and
your products.
Erica
- I would like to thank you for putting your Web
site on the internet. It has helped me tremendously and I
have received great gifts because of it. For Christmas I
received the Easy Organizer. I also just ordered Finally
Organized, Finally Free and also the Easy Bill Paying
system. Thank you again I am on my way to being
completely organized. P.S. Being organized is also
helping me with the planning of my wedding. Thank you for
giving me the tools to be organized.
Susie Lopez
- I am absolutely amazed by your expertise and
accomplishments. I received my package from you today and
am just loving your book, your Easy Organizer, and your
Holiday Planner! You are my inspiration!
Terry Bowers, Organized to Succeed
Comments About Our Web site
- Over the last 2 or 3 years, with your newsletter
you've helped me organized my life--not just paperwork
and email, but how I approach day-to-day stuff. I'm
really focused on my life goals and aspirations now, and
I'm truly happier and more relaxed. I've gone from being
a procastinating pack-rat who was chronically late with
stuff stored all over to someone who has reduced my
belongings to the essentials so I can move with two
duffel bags in complete confidence and is organized
enough to go on a weekend trip with a 5kg backpack and 20
minutes notice. How's that for the simple, carefree life!
Renee Boileau
- A few months ago while searching the web on how
to become more organized, I came upon your website. I
signed up on your weekly emails. They are so helpful. I
am the type of person who has always been surrounded by
clutter. As far back as I can remember. I actually think
it's in the genes. LOL But I am at the point that I
can't take it anymore. I know that I can't change in a
day. I'm taking baby steps, thanks to your monthly
checklist. Everyday I do the task and it feels great!! I
work 50 hrs a week at my job so I have to make the time
to do it. I'm hoping by this time next year I will be
more organized and clutter free. Thank you for creating
this website. I visit it every week. Thank You, Thank
You, Thank You!
Tracy, Epping, NH
- Just writing to say how much I love this site. It
is heartwarming to know that I am not the only one with
terribly overwhelming clutter. Thank you so much for all
your advice and ideas.

have enjoyed the newsletters and am so inspired to get
even more organized. I ordered your book and organizer
last week and I am very anxious to receive them so that I
can get started.
Fran Clark
- I just wanted to say thank you for having such a
great site. All the information is so helpful, and I am
learning to see that organization skills is 'holistic'.
There is hope for me yet!! I could cry there is so much
good information here, super links. I am starting to make
some little changes. Thank you!
Sonia Bausinger

Can't thank you enough for creating it. I'm encouraged
each time my newsletter comes. Thanks, thanks, thanks!
Margaret Condra

Angelcat Le Gallois
- Thank you so very much for having a website that
has made my life so much more organized! I have used your
tips and ideas and have turned my home from chaos to
order and am getting so much more done, to say nothing of
no longer being embarrassed when I have company! I am in
the middle of a move from San Rafael, California to New
Orleans, Louisiana and find that your tips are making
this a lot smoother process than it wuold have been had I
not found your wonderful site! Keep up the good work and
thanks!
Patricia Reilly
- I was beginning to give up trying to get
organized, when I saw your website mentioned in the
Weighless magazine (which I read at the doctor's waiting
rooms), and I am convinced that you will save my sanity.
Thank you, thank you, thank you - people like me NEED
people like you who know how to be organized!
Barbara Scholten
- Just wanted to let you know this is the best
website I have come across in a long time! Thanks so much
for all the wondeful info.
Jan Lyon, Longview, TX
- AWESOME! There is no other way to describe your
site. If I know I'm slacking off, all I have to do is get
to your site. It keeps me straight and motivated.
Doris and Eric
- I love the site and visit it once every month or
two. I am an instructor for a course called Information
Management, a general technology management course for
managers who are women. One of our chapters is about the
Web/e-Commerce and what makes it an effective tool for
business. Your website and email newsletters are
wonderful examples that I use repeatedly. Keep up the
good work.
Tracey Wright, Applied Innovation, Winnipeg, MB, Canada
- I just wanted to let you know that your monthly
checklists on your Web site are very helpful. I am using
this as a template to set my goals, both long term and
short term.
Lakisha English
- I have been reading your Web site all afternoon
and am anxiously waiting for my first newletter. The ones
on the site that I have read I printed out for future
reference, and instantly filed them, so I wouldn't lose
them. Future reference means when I can pull myself away
from your web site. It is great and extremely well
presented and easy to access. Thank You!
Linda Labby, Ft. Worth,TX
- I just found your Web site and it is WONDERFUL!
Now all I have to do is live your suggestions. Thank you
for such simple yet profound advice.
S.Siefring
- I wanted to tell you how much your site means to
me and let you know that I have hope for the first time
that I will get everything 'truly' organized in my home
and office. It has always been a nagging 'need' and a
huge desire but never had a 'hope in heaven' as to how to
do it. I do now thanks to your incredible tips and
knowledge.
Charlotte Langlois
- I want to thank you for developing this website.
While I am certainly not 'in shape' clutter wise, I am
making progress slowly. While this may sound odd, (a
friend recently joined Weight Watchers for the 'Support')
your 'Support' aspect of your program is what draws
people in. This is where I am feeling the true rewards of
your system. Similar to the support of Weight Watchers, I
truly need the 'Support of others who understand and we
keep each other in line.' The decluttering, and
maintaining what I have completed can be challenging, but
it is SO rewarding. Then I move on and clear a little
more and the 'clear path' is expanding. I currently have
your Easy Organizer and am trying to convince two friends
to purchase one too! Again, THANK YOU for this website
and message board.
Jodi Arrowsmith
- You are doing a tremendous service to humanity
through this site. You cannot imagine the benefit that
millions are getting out of you. God bless you. Keep up
the good work.

I'm very impressed! It's a fantastic place to visit, very

you, thank you, thank you! I've been buried in paper!
Now, with your help, maybe I can find my way out.
Jeanne Williams

to receive my first newsletter!

particularly useful and not tear up my magazines (or
anyone else's!) Thank You! Keep the great ideas
coming!!!!

helpful site and great books.

much I like your site and to let you know I've referred
your site to others. Many others in fact! I am in the
direct marketing business and after finding your site, I
e-mailed one of my upline about you. Later that same day,
my upline had passed your site address onto everyone in
our business e-mail loop--which I know is over 100, but
how much more, I don't know. I was thrilled to see my e-
mail being sent to others. Now we can all succeed! I have
spent about an hour on your site today. There is so much
I still want to read! I've printed out several of your
articles and sent several pages to my e-mail box! You are
a goldmine and I can't wait to apply all of the many
things you've shared. Thank you so much for all that you
give and share. Signed, a new visitor whose here to stay!
Pam Stewart, Canada

enjoy after I finish the job of each room. I set up a
patio set and put some of my plants and flowers around it
and it looks so wonderful. Today I will be finishing my
bedroom and after I have dinner on my beautiful patio (my
reward) I will have a clean and organized bedroom to go
to. I start the kitchen this week. Thank you for your
help Maria and I will keep you posted as to my progress.

of your monthly challenges (joke). I hope your other

this forum resource available to us at your site.
Steven Presar, Agora Business Center
- Dear Maria, I have just spent so much time surfing
through your site. Someone asked a question about how to
get organized on my Digital Women email loop and another
person posted your URL. I must say that I LOVE this site.
Reading through your articles and tips really made me
want to get organized! I just wanted to write and
congratulate you on such a great site. It’s fantastic!
Lisa Jimenez
- I found your site through the Dollar Stretcher Web
site and it hit home immediately. I started with my
closet right away and it worked miracles in one night!
Thank you so much for the booster I had been looking for!
I now realise I can make space in my life and house for
the things that matter by reducing the amount of things
that don't.
Marjo-Riitta Rolland, Rovaniemi, Finland
- Maria: I must say, I look at sites all the time
and yours is one of the best I've seen, from a Web
marketing perspective. You've hit most (if not all) the
major hurdles. I'd bet money that you are driving good
traffic to your site. Your site is simple -- homegrown --
but it really works!! You've got tons of content, great
commerce, and loads of opportunity for community. In
fact, I'm amazed at your bulletin board--great activity--
and your moderation is spectacular!! The only bad part
about all of this is that you don't need my help. You're
truly one-in-a-million. You don't know me, but
compliments don't often roll off my tongue. I'm taking
the time to write, because you deserve it. I take my hat
off to you. Keep up the great work. I'm going to use your
site as an example of what to do. Good luck.
Stevan Meizlish, President, KnowItAll.net, http://www.meizcorp.com
- I'm very impressed with your site and your tips
and information. Your site is clean-looking and easy to
navigate. It's not too cluttered, it's easy to read, and
graphically interesting (okay, I admit it, I'm a graphic
specialist...could you tell?). The contents are very
informative presented in fun and different ways. I love
the slideshow, your monthly checklist and your quick
tips. You have great quotes also! The bottom line is that
I was really impressed and I bookmarked your page
immediately! Thank you for providing such a great site.
Kalam Koehring Nichols, Greenberg Traurig, PA, Graphic Specialist
- Hi . . . found your site through the Zig Ziglar e-
zine. WOW!! I'm basically an organized person, and our
household is in fairly good shape (except for the
teenager's closet). However, there were so many tips and
great usable ideas available on your site that I've
bookmarked it for myself and sent a ‘check this out’ note
to my friend who is constantly begging me to come
organize her office for her. You have a great thing going
. . . thank you! I especially enjoyed the junk drawer
thread. What a great group of encouraging and ‘real’
contributors - honest, and helpful. Wonderful! I'll
return to your site many times . . . if I could only get
my teen to visit there . . . Thanks, again!
Rose Burch, Lafayette, Indiana
- I do believe you are the goddess of organization.
I picked up a link to your site on one of the AOL boards
and I am a true and immediate believer. I used to be such
an organized person. It was as natural as breathing. Last
year I was quite ill and it seems all sorts of things
have been forgotten that used to be natural. It was
actually comforting to see your site and the tips...can't
wait til end of the month payday (I get paid once
monthly...now juggling that successfully is
organization!) so I can order a ton of stuff! Thanks for
the GREAT site!

- Hello Maria. Excuse me for being so familiar, but
having spent literally hours on your Web site (gosh I
can't absorb the information quickly enough), I feel I
have met you already!! For the past few days I have been
searching through the various NAPO sites with the idea of
contacting a member from one of the chapters. However,
today was my lucky day - when I just ‘stumbled’ across
your Web site. I am very impressed with your business
‘style.’ It is surprising that in this day and age, we
find someone who is prepared to unselfishly SHARE their
knowledge. You are a legend. Warm regards, Maureen . . .
PS Your discussion forum provides a wealth of
information, encouragement and support.
Maureen Campbell, Australia
- Your site is indeed a great help to a working mom
like me. Congratulations for a very educational site.
Kit S. Burayag, The Philippines
- Get Organized Now!™ is the most valuable
organizing Web site I have found.
Ailsa Kellam
- Dear Maria: Thank You! I am 60 yrs young and have
always been unorganized. I always had the idea that,
thats just the way I am. Sometimes I'd blame it on my
mother ( God bless her soul ) but I really knew it was
because I never had enough confidence in myself to start
and finish becoming organized. With this Web site of
yours I now have someone by my side to give me that
little motivation that I need. Thanks so much for being
here. I can't type for the tears in my eyes.
Charlotte
- Hello Maria - I am overjoyed to know of your Web
site through COUNTRY LIVING September 2000 issue. Your
site is engaging, exciting, and encouraging!
Congratulations on such a fine work.
Gloria Foster
- I would like to mention a great site for
organizing information which I highly recommend. The site
is www.getorganizednow.com I have some of Maria’s
materials - book, etc. and I highly recommend them. Even
if you do not purchase her materials, the site has a
wealth of information as does her email newsletter twice
a month. Her past issues and articles are also in the
archives. When you have time, go to the site and just
surf because I think you will find something to help you.
Joan Gaylord
- Thank you so much for your wonderful, incredibly
informative Web site! I was so impressed with all the
knowledge you are so willing to share. Thank you for such
a wealth of organizing ideas. Thank you for motivating me
to make organizing goals. I am very grateful for your
help.
Lisa Hale
- Dear Maria, I just have to compliment you on your
wonderful Web site and even better discussion forum. I
have been disappointed in so many other forums that I
thought would have relevant and useful info but instead
turned into soapboxes and complaint boards. Your forum is
wonderful and inspiring and YOU are a kind, caring woman
who truly cares! I am hooked!
Kathy Garrard
- Believe me when I say that you are the bright, in
fact, the brightest star on the horizon. What's more, you
made me feel very, very special. Thank you from the
bottom of my heart for your site, newsletters, and help.
Lisa DelCasale
- Hello Maria, Your Web site is fabulous. It's easy
to use, it is full of information, it is friendly, it
inspires confidence in you and your business, it is

Loani Prior, Brisbane, Australia, Prior Engagements
- I must say this also, I LOVE GET ORGANIZED
Now!™ The Web site is a place I keep finding
comfort in even though I have yet to start organizing. It
has given me hope and encouragement. I have been reading
items in the forum and I am able to identify with a lot
of people. Thank You!
Ann Kinslow, Louisville, KY
- Dear Maria, I just wanted to let you know how much
your site has helped me and to thank you. I never thought
I would ever be able to open a desk drawer and actually
find anything! I've taken your advice on a lot of areas
in my home and it's GREAT! Please keep up the wonderful
work for all us ‘clutterers’ out here. WE NEED YOU!
Lynn

resource I have found.
Beckie Bordenaro, McHenry, IL

Thanks a Million!
Cammie Spitler
- After thinking about it for over a year. I have
finally decided to start my own PO business. So after
much research into, what I believe to be, every PO Web
site out there I decided to go with your experience,
insight, knowledge and wisdom.The structure of your Web
site is wonderful and easy to navigate. The topics are
fresh. The message boards don't sound like they are run
by children. It is personable and professional. I thank
you for your inspiration and ideas. I look forward to
getting your books and enriching others lives.

Comments About Our Newsletter
- There is nothing nicer than getting onto my emails
first thing on a Monday morning to find your newsletter.
It is a motivator for the week, and I find, rather than
making huge New Year resolutions, each week I make a
resolution for the week. I cannot believe how many of
your suggestions have been put into place in my home -
and THEY WORK! Thank you so much for sharing all your
ideas with us! They really make a difference! Best
wishes from Sunny South Africa!
Meryl Williamson, South Africa
- This is Abid Akhtar, a software Engineer working
for Accenture in Chennai,India. It was great going
through your site. I am a 24 year old gym freak and have
always had problems managing my time, but now I have to
say it after reading the articles am more Organized than
ever.
Abid Akhtar
- I have been a reader of your newsletter for
probably about seven years now. It was suggested to me by
a Human Resources representative when I was looking for
information on planning and organizing. I appreciate the
practical tips and ideas, as well as the information and
links to other companies you recommend on your site.
Bruce Sharick
- I just wanted to thank you for your fantastic
weekly newsletter. I have been a devoted
subscriber/follower/neat freak for over 3 years. I
thoroughly enjoy reading my weekly email and checking
your site for additional information when I do need it. I
am thankful for the many motivational tips you provide
and for the great bits of useful information and
knowledge.
Milica Mili Kejzar, Wildwood, IL
- I just want you to know how much encouragement and
affirmation I receive from your weekly list of
organizational tips. One week it's a garage, next week it
is clothes or desks. I teach music, so some organization
is necessary just to do my job, but your hints and tips
as well as your readers continue to be a source of
guidance and hope. Thanks and please keep 'em comin'.
Arthur LaBrant
- Thanks you so much for the newsletter. I always
look forward to reading it, and am always appreciative of
the tips, ideas and suggestions. Just wanted to say so!
Heather Catoe
- Just a note to let you know how much I have
enjoyed, and utilized, you newsletter tips. I have
ordered your book for my sister and me to share. Thank
you for a great website!
Aileen B. Boyle

I enjoy it. Thank you for your site and newletters.

blessed.
Lorna Thomas-Murray
- I just wanted to tell you how delighted I am that
you are extending your newsletters to every week!!!!! I
so look forward to each and every one and it seems a long
time between them. this is great news. I really enjoy
your information and have put much of it to good use.It
will be awhile before I'm totally organized but I''ve
come a long long way and can see a remarkable difference.
Thanks so much for all of your expert tips and organizing
advice. you are a God send!
Teri, Lakeland, FL
- I don't know how you keep coming up with such
great ideas. Thank you for your constant encouragement
and advice. I teach first grade in public school, and
your articles have helped me so much...when I feel like I
can never get all the papers organized, I "hear" you say,
start with one paper at a time, but begin. Just this
week, I have gone through two file boxes that I brought
home, and when I got tired, I'd take a break...and just
knowing that it was o.k. to do that gave me the courage
to keep at it. I am seeing that I am not the only one in
the world that has problems in this area, and that you
are here to help me. Thank you.
Pat Royalty
- I have been receiving your newsletter for over a
year, and I have ordered some of your products and your
book, Finally Organized, Finally Free. You have helped me
a great deal. Although I have a long way to go when it
comes to being organized, I just wanted you to know that
I appreciate the work you do in putting people on the
right path. Your gift is being put to good use, and I
wish for you great success and happiness.
Mary DeSalvo

constantly struggling to stay on top of paperwork, time,

your constant inspiration.

ideas! I love being organized since it makes my life
easier and more peaceful, but I always need new hints.
Thanks!
Lura Boettcher
- I thank you for your newsletter. It provides me
with something I desperately need: motivation. I look
forward to receiving your letter, because I know it will
give me that extra push to get going. My only regret is
that it ONLY comes twice a month! I wish it could be each
week! Thank you very much. I know there must be LOTS of
work in doing such a project. God bless you!

fantastic!
Raymond Jones

tell you how much I enjoy it. I am somewhat of an
organized person already but still can't believe how much
more I have learned from you. Thank You Again.

newsletter and Web site. What you have done is a
wonderful service to those of us out in the field working
with people who need us. I enjoy being able to refer your
site to my clients. It enhances the things I am trying to
teach them. My favorite part of your newsletter is the
tips section, but all of it is great. The guest articles
are always timely, and the information is always up to
date. I encourage my clients to subscribe to your
'courses,' and purchase some of your products. You are
doing a wonderful job, and I applaud your efforts in
enhancing our profession. Keep up the good work! Thanks
for helping me help my clients!
Marsha Sims, Sort-It-Out, Inc, Miami, FL

Susan Cox
- Thanks so much for your great newsletters, Web
site, etc. (As a fellow-Watertownan, I'm also proud to
share backyards!) I read about you and your wonderful
business in 'The Watertown Business Journal,' which is
always a great source of news. It was a super article and
I was motivated to learn more. My husband and I are

organized. You're Web site and newsletter are EXCELLENT
tools! Thank you!

future issues!
Sarah Treadwell
- Hi Maria: I just wanted to tell you how much I
enjoyed your site. I have signed my husband up for your

Best wishes for the success of your endeavor!

great articles and tips shared.You have so many great

- I just wanted to thank you for your newsletters. I
was a disorganized pig. I tried books and articles from
the library and tips from friends, but nothing helped.
Nothing I tried kept me wanting to keep doing it. Your
articles are so helpful, and all of your tips are fun to
do. Organizing is so easy. And the best thing about it is
that I don't have to do it all at once like all those
other articles say. You are wonderful. Thank you so much
for your time and your sincere effort. Thank you! People
can come over to my house now, even unexpected! It's such
a great feeling! Thank you!!
Jennifer

put some of the info to work, and I can see a improvement
already.
Mary Rudy
- I truly enjoy your Web site and newsletter. They
give me a greater sense of control over my life, both
literally and figuratively!
Susan Lutenbacher, Denton, TX
- Maria, you're so warm and kind and encouraging and
generous. You really are an excellent role model. Your
approach is a good reminder for me to be patient with
people struggling to improve their habits and
environment. By the way, I had an article in a local
paper today about a makeover I did of the editor's office
(weeks ago!). At the end of the article I used your tip
about offering give-aways. By the time I got back here
with the paper, I had an e-mail in response to my offer
from a company I've been trying to ‘break into’ for
weeks.
Vickey Kaiser
- Thanks so much for your Organizer’s newsletter.
It's well written and full of practical advice, not just
fluff. You've really hit a nerve for most organizers.
Your help is tremendously appreciated.
