Get Your Motor Running: Is Decluttering a Journey—or a Destination?

In episode #187 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, talks about traveling light, planning your route (or relying on serendipity), and trying to enjoy the journey as well as the destination.
