Peter Walsh Rules!
OK, I’m going to indulge in a bit of Friday night hero worship. Of course, you all know Doug is my main man in the hero department, but sometimes, I gotta tell ya’, other guys step up.
On my post entitled “Shock and Awe,” in which I describe the wonderful effect Oprah’s episodes about hoarding and de-cluttering have had on me, I mentioned Peter Walsh and his great work with the couple on the show.
Guess what? He left a comment on that post! He’s just motivated me to take another pass at the linen closet! :)
I love Peter’s book “It’s All Too Much,” and won’t be ridding myself of it in any purging process in the near or distant future. Now I’m looking forward to his next release, “Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?”
Um…clutter may not be completely responsible, but it sure doesn’t help!
Thanks for the encouragement to straighten up and fly right, Peter. I owe you, big time.
- How cool, Katy!!
I'll add that your posts on de-cluttering have been very encouraging - thanks!Posted by Chris(tine) on 11/30/07 at 09:41 PM - Yep, Peter rules! :)

- Chris(tine)--Great to hear from you, lady! I'm gonna hop over to your (uncluttered) blog and catch up on the news!
Bridgie--We cut back on our cable and no longer get Clean Sweep. I am sad! But I can still love and follow Peter's sound advice.Posted by Katy Raymond on 12/03/07 at 07:16 AM - I'm reading his book these days and getting ready to clean house. that's very cool that he left a comment!

- Hope! How great to see you here! I don't know how Peter landed here. He says in his recent e-letter that in the days after the Oprah shows, he got 500 emails asking for help! And he somehow found fallible! The whole thing was a lot of fun for me, and girl, has it kept me motivated to keep pushing forward with the decluttering. It's all starting to make sense to me--perhaps for the first time in my life....
