Well… I’m coming back.

I don’t want to make this take up a lot of time, but I know some people are going to wonder because I did say that I felt like it was a calling of God, and that I was supposed to just listen to Him.

I also said that the work had become difficult for me. The tech was drowning me. I said I was 64, that I just couldn’t put any more time into all of that. I love what I do, I am really good at it, and I help a lot of people. But the part that makes it possible to keep going — the technical setup and the marketing you need in order to be profitable and continue on in business — I just totally sucked at it.

So I told myself, “You’ve got to stop this.” And when I talked to God about it, I felt such ease. What I got from Him was: shut down my platform.

That was tough for me because of all the work, expense, and time that went into it. But I listened. And when I listened, I got the next step.

I realized that what I needed to do was take one step at a time. There’s a verse in the Bible that talks about God being a lamp to our feet. That means you can’t see past what that little bit of light shines on. When that was written, there was no electricity. When it got dark, that was it. Fire was the only illumination. So to have “a lamp to your feet” means you don’t know what’s past the next step until you take it.

So I did that. And when I took that next step, the next thing came to me — and it was that I wasn’t supposed to shut down my business. I was supposed to shut down that platform, and then do it differently.

I had to keep taking one step at a time.

Sometimes I got fearful, because I am body, soul, and spirit. And if there’s anybody out there thinking, “Well, if you were a woman of faith, you wouldn’t have fear”—that’s just not true.

To make a long story short: I’m back as The Tidy Tutor.

I have a new platform. That was one of those next steps I never would have imagined.

And the reason I took that next step — in case you care — is because even though I shut everything down, I still had people who counted on me monthly. People who showed up for me every single month inside my community. They took my course, then called Tidy Tutor University, now called Tidy Tutor Masterclass, and I committed to helping them once a month. I couldn’t just disappear. I had to ease out gradually.

Also, people — maybe you’re one of them — have purchased products from me. Maybe my Christmas Course, or the Clutter Magnet Challenge, or Tidy Tutor University/The Tidy Tutor Masterclass. And if you’re one of those people, I knew I had to have all of that available for you.

So I asked myself, “What do I do?” And then I got an email about “Skool” —

S-K-O-O-L. It’s a platform I was already familiar with because I had purchased a course that was posted on it and had been inside that community as a learner.

Then I realized: This is what I’ll do for now as the teacher. They were offering it for $10 a month, and while I was figuring things out, I thought, “This is easy. No-brainer. I can do this.”

So I started rebuilding… When you have courses and content, the process is almost like moving house. You take your whole house apart, pack everything up, put it in a truck, move it somewhere else, unpack it, and put everything away again. Every video, every image, every piece of text has to be saved, put in, copied, pasted… all of it. But I did it.

And as I was working, something happened — it was easy. It was such a blessing. That platform is something I can actually work with. And while I was doing it, I found myself saying, “Oh God… thank You. Thank You for leading me to this.”

It had been such a long time that I knew I should have shut things down long before I finally did. But fear stopped me. I had put 14 years into this — 14 years of my life, my passion, my heart. And I felt like I’d lose all of that if I shut it down. That fear — oh my goodness — false evidence appearing real.

So I did what I did, and now I’m in Skool, realizing that it’s amazing and wonderful, and I have a community again. And I am inviting you to be a part of it.

If you’re somebody who has already purchased something from me, put that in the comments and include your email address. I’ll add you in. I’ll invite you so you can have access to whatever it was you bought from me.

And then there’s another level, where you can get help from me — almost like group coaching. The courses are in there, we meet once a week online… there’s more you can find out in a link I’ll put here.

So that’s what’s going on.

I’ll still be doing videos on YouTube, writing my blogs, all of that. I’m just doing this one day at a time.

I hope this wasn’t too confusing.

With so much Love!
