Clutter Roundup Ranch

This ain’t Adonna Braly’s first rodeo – been doing it all her life. She’s just one of them gals that was born with a natural hankering toward keeping things neat and tidy. Her gift is organizing and she has a passion for it. She cleaned her room for fun as a girl, for goodness sake. (yes, even her Barbies’ closets were organized – they must have been cowgirls in disguise!) and as she got older her friends and kinfolk would fetch her to help get their closets in order.

She spent the majority of her career in the administrative/secretarial field starting as the humble clerk in a bank basement to becoming executive/personal assistants to Presidents/CEO’s of several corporations. It became very obvious after a while that she must be organizing something or die! So way back in the year 2000, she decided to embrace the spirit of the old west and blaze her own personal trail to organize all cowgirls and cowpokes alike. After working part-time for many years, in 2007 Adonna founded Clutter Roundup upon this mission:

Adonna is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), NAPO Houston and stays active and involved in her local community. Adonna is a Certified Professional Organizer®, the gold standard for professional organizers, signifying her experience within and commitment to the organizing profession. She is passionate about giving back and paying it forward in any way, large or small. Adonna stays educated and up-to-date on the latest developments in the organizing profession and is committed to helping her clients create a better quality of life and enjoy the sense of calm and peace that getting organized brings.

Adonna Braly is not your average cowgirl in the physical sense, but most certainly in attitude. It’s about spirit, courage, sticking up for what you believe and trusting yer gut. She’s all about taking action and getting the job done. With a frontier spirit, laughter and openness Adonna will help you round up your clutter and make a way for you to do the things you really want to do! So let’s saddle up and take a ride to the Clutter Roundup Ranch!

Ranch Hand: Cayce Mitchell

Cayce is Clutter Roundup’s Head Ranch Hand and is instrumental in keeping things in order at the Ranch. Apart from being the administrative assistant, Cayce also assists on organizing sessions, will help you create an eBay site to make some extra money off of your clutter, set up your electronic devices, or assist you with light administrative work to get you caught up.

Cayce grew up in Itasca, Texas and attends Sam Houston State University. When she’s not at the Ranch, she enjoys working out, fishing, and hanging with the girls.

Nancy Cadena Williams is the gal you went to in school when you needed aspirin, a safety pin, a Band-Aid – she was always prepared. She’s kind of like the scout who rides up ahead of the wagon train and then reports back on what’s needed for the trail ahead. She ‘s that cowgirl who always remembers your birthday, bakes a cake, & plans the parties. After planning the biggest party of her life - her wedding - many friends made comments on her attention to detail and suggested she help out others with their

organizational needs. Her Matron-of-Honor even made reference in her toast as she told Nancy’s husband, “Nancy is an amazing person who will bring much joy, loads of humor, everlasting love, and some organization into your life.” And so her professional organizing life began.

Her first career began after receiving a degree in Biology from Texas A&M University. Nancy enjoyed a 16 1/2-year successful career in healthcare sales and consulting. Her training in customer service is integral to understanding the goals of her clients. She can tailor the project to best meet the client’s learning style and needs. Like Adonna, organizing is also in Nancy’s blood. However, it has not always come easily and it is a trait she works on daily. She has an empathetic heart for the organizing challenges that grow from major life events such as a marriage, job change, the sale of a home, or the addition of a child. Nancy faced all these in less than a year and brings insight into finding the calm out of the chaos. These life experiences, along with her professional development through the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) and NAPO Houston, allow Nancy to assist her clients achieve the balance of a rewarding professional and home life. Nancy and Adonna share core values of wanting to help their clients live a better life. And, it never hurts to have a good belly laugh along the way….
