“This moment is heavy, but it is not permanent. I am allowed to pause, to feel, and to move at my own pace. I have survived difficult days before, and I carry the strength, wisdom, and grace to get through this one. I choose to be kind to myself today.”
This is the AFFIRMATION I wrote this morning in my journal – I hope it helps those who need to hear these words.
Coach Cher ♥
The past year brought with it a profound sorrow, the passing of my older brother, Joey, who anchored my world. This loss left an immeasurable void, marking the end of a generation that shaped who I am. I am the last one standing from the family portrait.
Yet, in the quiet aftermath of grief, a deeper realization has taken root: I am not truly alone. My life is woven into a broader tapestry of Navy Family, community, and the enduring legacy of those who have gone before me.
This new chapter demands a new resolve. I choose to leave the crippling paralysis of fear behind—fear of the unknown, fear of loneliness, fear of starting anew. Instead, I will walk forward with intention and unwavering purpose. My path is now one of bold creation, where I will not simply observe life but actively, passionately write the next, vibrant chapters of my own story.
In this act of creation, I will become the custodian of memory. I will honor my family not by dwelling in their absence, but by boldly sharing their stories—the fascinating, humorous, challenging, and deeply human narratives that are too interesting, too vital, to be lost to silence. These shared memories will be the foundation upon which I build a future filled with meaningful connections and a life lived fully in the light of remembrance.
I hope you write new chapters of your life boldly, this new year.

A Thanksgiving Message from My Heart to Yours
This Thanksgiving, I want to pause and honor every person who has invited me—through my organizing services, my workshops, or simply through conversation—into the sacred spaces of their lives. Whether it was a cluttered room, a busy schedule, a chaotic season, or a heavy heart, you trusted me to help bring clarity, calm, laughter, and hope. That trust is never taken lightly.
This year has been filled with transformation—some chosen, some unexpected—and together we’ve learned that clarity is not just about tidy shelves or labeled binders. It is about finding the courage to begin again. To create new routines. To rebuild peace. To rediscover joy. To walk forward with intention, even when life feels overwhelming.

May your home feel warm, your heart feel light, and your spirit feel supported. And may you always remember that you deserve spaces—inside and out—that feel peaceful, beautiful, and aligned with the life you are creating.
From my heart to your home…
Happy Thanksgiving.
With gratitude and grace,

Mood boards …
Give you a kind of creative freedom that feels limitless—like stepping into a visual playground where every color, texture, and idea can come alive before a single piece of furniture is ever moved. They allow you to dream boldly and design with confidence, pulling together inspiration from anywhere: a swatch of fabric, a calming landscape, the warmth of a café corner, or the crisp lines of a modern workspace.
With mood boards, you can explore possibilities without boundaries, experiment without fear, and translate emotions into visuals that guide the entire design journey. They act as a bridge between imagination and reality, helping you— the client—see the energy, personality, and harmony of a space long before it is created. In this process, creativity isn’t just encouraged; it is unleashed.
Design Boldly . . . Coach Cher
I look forward to helping you transform your lifestyle.

CHAPTER ONE: Less is a Mess Until It’s Bliss
Simple living is more than decluttering a closet or downsizing a home—it’s a mindset that encourages us to slow down and live with intention. At its core, it’s about removing excess not only from our physical spaces but also from our mental, emotional, and spiritual lives. In doing so, we create space for clarity, peace, and deeper meaning.
Rather than measuring life by what we accumulate, simple living invites us to value the quality of our experiences, relationships, and inner growth. In a world dominated by consumerism and constant noise, it’s easy to confuse busyness with purpose. Simple living challenges this mindset, prompting us to reassess what truly matters. It suggests that a life overloaded with possessions, obligations, and endless striving can often feel empty rather than fulfilling.
By intentionally choosing simplicity, we begin to notice the richness in small moments: the warmth of a morning cup of tea, the beauty of nature outside our window, or the joy of an unhurried conversation with a friend. These are the often-overlooked treasures buried beneath the clutter of modern life.
At its foundation, simple living is not about deprivation. It’s not about giving up what we love, but aligning our lives with what we value most. It begins with asking: Do I need this? Does this serve me? Does this contribute to my well-being or distract from it? These questions help us intentionally curate lives that support balance and harmony.
Simplicity empowers us to focus our time, energy, and resources on what nurtures us rather than what depletes us. Ultimately, it offers freedom—freedom from the pressure to constantly consume, from the weight of comparison, and from the illusion that more is always better.
This philosophy opens a door to a slower, more mindful way of being—one in which we reconnect with our authentic selves. In this space, we are no longer defined by what we own or how much we do, but by who we are and how we choose to live. This chapter lays the groundwork for embracing simplicity—not as a fleeting trend, but as a fulfilling way of life rooted in depth, peace, and joy.
Let’s be honest: some of us are in committed relationships with our stuff. That T-shirt from 2008? “It still fits… emotionally.” The pasta maker you used once? “It might come in handy during the next carb crisis.”
But here’s the kicker—most of our stuff doesn’t love us back. It doesn’t bring joy; it just hogs our space and collects dust like it’s starting a collection.
The key to sustainable living is understanding the difference between wanting and needing. (Spoiler: You probably don’t need that third garlic press.) When we stop accumulating things like we’re trying to win a loyalty card from Amazon, we reduce waste, save money, and free up mental space.
Try this: The next time you’re about to buy something, pause and ask, “Do I need this, or am I just trying to impress the neighbor who owns a salt lamp and a Tesla?” If it’s the latter, walk away proudly. You just saved yourself from clutter and existential regret.
Living sustainably doesn’t mean you must fit all your belongings into a backpack and move to a treehouse (unless you’re into that). It means being intentional: choosing quality over quantity, and making space for what actually matters—like spontaneous dance parties in your living room.
You’ve probably heard the phrase “You are what you eat.” If that’s true, some of us are approximately 47% potato chips.
Sustainable living starts at the table. But let’s clear this up: You don’t need to become a vegan monk who only eats locally-sourced moss. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress.
Eating more plant-based meals, reducing food waste, and shopping locally can make a huge impact. Plus, eating veggies doesn’t have to be a flavorless punishment. (We’re looking at you, overcooked Brussels sprouts.)
Hot tip: Plan your meals before shopping. That way, you avoid buying 6 zucchinis you swear you’ll use but inevitably watch wilt into mushy regret.
And remember: composting isn’t just for hippies with backyard chickens. It’s a legit way to give back to the Earth—and it’s strangely satisfying to turn yesterday’s banana peel into tomorrow’s garden gold.
Start small. Swap out meat once or twice a week. Buy from the farmer’s market when you can. And yes, you can still have chocolate—it’s basically a plant. Probably.
No, we’re not talking about your overly dramatic cousin who drains your soul at family dinners. We’re talking about the other kind of energy vampire—the toaster that’s always plugged in even though it hasn’t toasted anything since 2017.
Our homes are full of sneaky energy suckers. Electronics, lights, heating systems—they’re often running on autopilot while we pay the bill. Sustainable living means becoming a little more aware of what’s on, what’s needed, and what can be turned off (hint: probably everything when you’re not using it).
But let’s zoom out for a second: unplugging isn’t just about appliances. It’s also about our minds. Scrolling social media until our eyeballs hurt doesn’t exactly scream “simple, meaningful life.” Try stepping away from screens once in a while. Go outside. Stare at a tree. Hug it, if you must.
Simple wins:
Remember, saving energy = saving money + saving the planet + becoming slightly smug in a good way.
Here’s a radical idea: What if… You didn’t have to be busy all the time?
We live in a world that treats rest like a guilty pleasure. If you’re not multitasking with three to-do lists and a podcast playing at double speed, are you even trying?
Yes. Yes, you are. In fact, doing less can be the most revolutionary act in a world obsessed with more.
Sustainable living isn’t just about what we consume—it’s about how we live. Creating time for rest, reflection, and joy is just as important as composting or riding your bike to the store. Taking care of your well-being helps you show up better for the people and planet around you.
Pro tip: Schedule downtime like you’d schedule a dentist appointment. Call it “soul maintenance” if that makes it feel more official.
Sit. Breathe. Stare out the window. Let your mind wander without needing to fix, scroll, or hustle. You are not a productivity machine. You’re a human being—with permission to chill.
Because in the end, sustainability isn’t about sacrificing joy. It’s about making space for more of it—the real kind, not the kind that comes from flash sales and fast shipping.
Final Thoughts:
Living sustainably isn’t about being perfect. It’s about small steps, conscious choices, and a willingness to laugh along the way. Whether you’re swapping plastic for reusable bags or simply learning to appreciate silence over screen time, you’re making a difference.
And if all else fails—just remember to bring the clothes in if it starts to rain.
In the quiet corners of our homes~
Beyond mere tidying, detail-cleaning your home is an act of love, a meditative journey that rekindles your relationship with your space. Hidden beneath the daily bustle, forgotten nooks and crannies gather dust, subtly accumulating the essence of our lives. This process enables you to breathe new life into every room and discover joy in the smallest details.
Imagine the serenity of lifting a neglected picture frame, wiping away months of dust to reveal a cherished photograph. Each swipe of the cloth becomes a stroke of nostalgia, a gentle reminder of moments past. The mingling scents of fresh cleaning products and familiar home create an atmosphere that is both comforting and invigorating.
As you meticulously clean baseboards and scrub grout, you are not just removing dirt but rediscovering the beauty beneath. Each uncovered corner and polished surface reflects a renewed commitment to your environment, grounding you and connecting you to the physical space that holds your life’s stories.
Detail cleaning is evident in the careful reorganization of a cluttered drawer, where a long-lost trinket brings a smile. It’s in the satisfaction of seeing your reflection in a spotless mirror—a metaphor for the clarity and peace you seek in life. This deep cleaning goes beyond the physical; it’s a meditative journey where you let go of what no longer serves you, making room for new memories and experiences. It teaches patience, attention to detail, and mindfulness, fully engaging you with your surroundings.
In this process, your home transforms from a mere shelter into a sanctuary. The energy shifts, the air feels lighter, and you walk through each room with pride and accomplishment, knowing every surface gleams with your care. It’s a gift to yourself and those you share your home with—a testament to the love and respect you have for your living space.
Embrace the art of detail-cleaning. Let it be a celebration of your home, a ritual that honors the past and prepares for the future. As you clean, remember you are not just tidying up; you are creating a space filled with warmth, clarity, and peace. In every corner, let the love you pour into your home reflect into your heart, reminding you of the beauty in the details.
Here is a list of tasks to get you started:
