"For several years my out-of-state friend had planned to visit and for what seemed like just as long I planned to have my home office/guest bedroom sparkling clean to receive her.
The birth of my first daughter happened and two months later I realized I had only two weeks to get ready for my friend's impending visit. It's not that I didn't have the resources to organize my guestroom myself, but I felt overwhelmed and realized later that there was probably a big mental block that prevented me from finishing my task.
I needed help fast!
With Dee's experienced eye and gentle support we were able to do an emergency cleaning on my guestroom in just three hours! I gave the baby a bottle and she slept near my chest, in her sling, while we worked. When she woke, we were done!
Looking at our accomplishment I got that just-got-a-haircut feeling (you know, that feeling of space, freedom, and beauty).
If I had know that was how I would feel, I would have called Dee much sooner. I consider myself a capable woman, and thought that I would feel guilty paying for help with what seemed like a simple chore, but Dee's helping hand was exactly what I needed. I'm not sure what would of happened if she had not come to my assistance.
My friend and I had a great visit. She said she felt very comfortable in the spacious, clean guestroom.
Thank you Dee!
I now plan to work with Dee on the rest of the house!"

"First of all, thank you for coming today and for all your help. I'm just glad to get this project done and it already feels so much better in the bedroom because of the arrangment." AL
From column in ALASKA WOMEN SPEAK (winter 2007 issue) written by Roberta Degenhardt:
"I have avoided allowing friends and/or relatives to assist in any sort of organizing. It causes me too much stress, and I don’t want to lose a friend or alienate a family member in the process of getting my life together. And I must admit that the first few minutes of working with Dee I had my reservations, but she put me at ease with her calm yet enthusiastic voice, and her patient way. "
"When she asked when the last time I used an item was, it was a means of establishing usefulness, not a criticism of my habits. And when faced with the question of “keep, give away, or throw away,” she patiently waited while I mulled it over. No pressure."
"The idea of a “Professional Organizer” had sounded to me like “Ruthless Dictator.” I could not have been more wrong. Dee could not be farther from dictatorial."

"Dee Gould appeared in my life exactly at a time when I was in critical need of her services. Her help was invaluable as I sorted through my belongings in preparation for a major move. She found good homes for all of my discards, helped me organize a garage sale, and offered creative suggestions for planning the next phase of my life. Dee’s constant cheerfulness makes her a joy to work with." LD Anchorage, AK
The next tax year I received this follow-up email:
"I've just been thinking about you as I sifted through all those donation receipts for the tax accountant. You sure did a lot of work for me! I'm forever grateful."
