"His ties were all dark and so timid in pattern that you pictured them cowering in the closet, each praying it would not have to hang around his neck that day and suffer the agony of public exposure." William E. Blundell
When we start decluttering, 99 out of 100 clients will at some point during the process tell me:
"I didn't even know I had this!" "Why do I even have this?" "I completely forgot I had this!"
These aren't cries of joy and excitement, they're comments made in puzzled tones. It's genuinely bewildering to look around at the sheer amount of stuff we have and try to figure out how it got through the door.
The magic lies in what you do next. If you hold onto the drab ties and the boring books, the faded umbrellas and the dusty wicker baskets, how long will it be before they fade into the background of clutter again?
When you find yourself exclaiming something along the lines of "I forgot I had this!" you can use that as a cue to march it on out of the house. If you don't love, use or need it, it's forgettable and we can all feel better for surrounding ourselves with the memorable things we adore.
Do you feel like you missed the day they taught Organizing 101?
Call Lucy Kelly at (720) 526-2114. I'll help you get organized and stay organized!

David Kaye
Voice Actor/Host/Radio Host
1Voice Actor/Host/Radio Host
David Kaye's voice over career began with 'The Great American Hero', General Hawk in the DIC animation series, GI Joe in 1989. Working as an on air talent for radio station CKLG (LG73) quickly became less interesting as both on camera and behind the mic roles started taking up more time. Over the next decade and a half David's on camera burgeoned along with his voice career. On camera opportunities came in the form of guest roles on various TV series and movies such as 'Battle Star Galactica' the 'X-Files' and 'Murder In My Mind' with Stacy Keach and Nicolette Sheridan, and 'Dead Man's Gun' with Michael York.
Also during this time Kaye was being cast in some of the first of hundreds of animation shows and video games. So many, in fact, this now became the main focus of his career and he's never looked back.
David's biggest moment was when he was cast as 'Megatron' in 1994 in the wonderfully popular series 'Transformers.' As a new animation art form was taking off bolstered by Mainframe Entertainment. 'Beast Wars' was born ('Beasties' in Canada) and would run for four seasons of "…the most fun you could ever have!", says Kaye. Thus began an almost a twenty year relationship with the 'Transformers' franchise. In 2007, David "crossed over" to become the only actor in the history of the franchise to play the lead villain AND the lead hero when he was cast as 'Optimus Prime' for Cartoon Network's 'Transformers: Animated." He was inducted into the 'Transformers Hall of Fame' in 2016.
For Anime fans, David Kaye has been the voice behind 'Sesshomaru' in the English dubbed 'Inuyasha' series, 'Treize Khushrenada' in 'Mobile Suit Gundam Wing,' 'Recoome' in 'Dragon Ball Z' ('96-'98) and as the high strung father, 'Soun Tendo' in 'Ranma 1/2′. His anime work still brings fans to conventions to meet him.
After commuting between Vancouver and Los Angeles for almost 10 years a full time move to LA was inevitable. Shortly after the move, David landed a role in Disney/Pixar's Oscar winning movie, 'Up.'
As the work keeps coming in, David's voice can be heard in Insomniac's 'Ratchet & Clank' video game series as well as the motion picture (2016) as the loveable robot 'Clank and "Hale' on 'The Resistance: Fall of Man" franchise. He's also been featured in 'Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions' as 'Mysterio', 'Nick Fury' and 'Captain America' in 'Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2', 'Missing Link' in 'Monsters vs Aliens: The Game' and many more.

Blige, Alan Jackson, Michael Douglas, Daughtry, Sheryl Crow, Train, Annie Lennox, and Ricky Martin. Many more have fallen under the spell of Lynn's engaging warmth, quick wit, and sincerity. The show became cable television's most-watched music and interview series.
At 19, Lynn recorded her first radio commercial and began making her professional mark with an on-air position at Metro Networks in Boston as a traffic, news, and entertainment reporter at 21.
Lynn's electrifying energy quickly earned her an invitation to join WBMX-FM's new morning show, Lander in the Morning in Boston. She went on to co-host the show for more than five years, helping to make it one of the highest rated morning radio shows in the country in a top 10 market. She also paired that with a position as fill-in entertainment reporter for Boston's CBS TV affiliate, WBZ Channel 4.
In 2002, Lynn moved to New York City, and was quickly hired as the first on-camera host for MTV's newest digital tv channel, VH1 Classic, where she hosted numerous interviews and music specials. She later became the energetic host of what would become their highest rated show, The VH1 Classic All Request Hour.

In 2007, Lynn was scooped up by A&E Television Networks to host her own music performance and interview series, Private Sessions, where she was nominated for her first Emmy award.

Miranda Patterson

NBC News Marketing
Miranda Patterson is the senior supervising producer/writer for NBC News Marketing. When Miranda began her career at NBC, scripts were written on typewriters. That's probably all you need to know, but here's a little more anyway.
As a writer/producer for NBC's Advertising & Promotion department, Miranda began with a client roster of Late Night with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and Saturday Night Live. That list grew to include the stars of the World Wrestling Federation and several years worth of Miss America contestants. All the stories you've heard about that time in TV history – the fun and free-wheeling days all the old timers talk about – it's all true. That's probably all you need to know about that too.
From those crazy days, Miranda moved on to the Today show, where she spent a decade, by then a senior supervising writer/producer. Now, as creative director, her client list includes all the news properties of NBC.
Over the years, Miranda has worked with celebrities, with actors, with lunatics and with children. She has worked with graphic designers, music composers, on-air talent and industry beginners. And more lunatics. She's won awards for spots that were deserving and for spots that weren't. There was also an award she didn't win but still thinks she should have…it's about time to let that go.
She has also spent many hours working with people who want to do voice-overs. And, even after all these years in the business, she thinks it's fun.

The Victorian Residential Efficiency Scorecard is a unique program that provides an energy star rating for your home. In the same way as a fridge or washing machine has a star rating, a Scorecard rating shows how much energy is used by different parts of your home. The star rating provides an easy-to-understand snapshot of how your home copes with Victoria's hot and cold weather. This allows you to compare your home's energy use with similar homes and quickly see how to save money on your bills.
From April 2018 there will be a major expansion in the availability of Scorecard assessments. Currently, Scorecard assessments are offered through not-for-profit organisations and local councils. From April next year, commercial businesses will also be able to offer Scorecard assessments.
Assessors wanted
To prepare for this roll-out, the Department of Environment Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) are encouraging household sustainability assessors across the state to apply for Scorecard accreditation.

How Does the Program Work?
The core of the problem is that your unconscious mind is repeating patterns of thinking that generate the fear… and now its time to change things up so those patterns don't run any more. Consciously, you know your fear of urinating doesn't make logical sense. If it did everyone would have it. The fear persists because it is subconsciously linked to a mental trigger which sets off a whole range of powerful negative emotions – fear leading the charge of course – at even the slightest thought of urine or urinating. Its become an automatic response.
Until now, you just haven't had the techniques for re-programming those connections. We are here to teach you on how to use the right techniques to vanquish the fear forever. Are you ready to learn and utilize these techniques?
