Before you can say “cabin fever” it will be time to clear out the cob webs of winter. While many people contemplate outdoor activities like gardening, others choose to de-clutter and re-organize their cold weather digs and get their house in order.

The ritual of spring cleaning can be traced to ethnic and cultural roots. In Jewish custom, Passover is a time of cleaning house – physically and spiritually. The Chinese celebrate their New Year (which occurs in spring) by sweeping their homes of bad luck. Still others say the seasonal obsession for domestic order is physiological, something to do with the effects of increasing daylight and melatonin on the body.

Sheree Richnow of West Chester calls herself a lifestyle transition expert. That’s Ivy League for professional organizer. She is the author of the soon-to-be published O.P.S. – Other People’s Stuff. She’s knows all about the things that people keep and what happens when it’s time to let them go.

“When I refer to transitions I mean we usher people through the process of de-cluttering, downsizing, relocating and re-directing their unwanted, used and sometimes abused personal property to be auctioned, donated to someone in need and, in some cases, taken to the dump,” says Richnow, who has many Delco clients and has been in the business of “other people’s stuff” for over 10 years.
