About the Author: Shawndra Holmberg has been organizing longer than the eleven years she's been running her business, Dhucks. She believes in the power that an organized space, schedule, and life have on our creative spirit. She knows that there's not one right way to get organized, and she's trained to make your organization work for you. She is a Certified Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization (CPO-CD(R)) and is focused on being your personal trainer for productivity, a mentor for your goals, and a motivational force for your creativity. Shawndra considers herself a lousy tourist as she usually spends her vacations enjoying a good book (reading one or writing one) and drinking coffee on her lanai, deck, porch, or sunroom. That's why she prefers to live and work in interesting locales. She worked on Johnston Island ( 850 miles southwest of Hawai'i), spent a year at the South Pole, Antarctica, and then thawed out in Hawai'i. She is currently enjoying the people and scenery of Western Pennsylvania as she organizes and coaches writers and others who are reaching for their dream. She is located in Butler, PA but works virtually everywhere.
