Going cold turkey
Although I’ve known for a little while it was still hard to read the following official email that came out this morning.
A Message To Our Subscribers
It is with a profound sense of sadness that we announce the cessation of publication of Organize Magazine.
We are deeply grateful for your support and feel that we had a wonderful magazine because of your input. Being organized was goal we all shared and we loved hearing how you worked to make that goal a reality. You were a valuable part of Organize and we’ll miss your energy and enthusiasm.
We are working hard to find a suitable substitute for the remaining issues of your subscription. Please be aware that the transition could take a few months to complete. Should you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].
All our best to you,
The Organize Magazine Team

Dear Organize:
We were only together one short year, yet it feels like forever. I’d come to rely on you in so many ways. Not too many friends support my addiction like you did. You never scoffed or laughed when I showed you my container stash. Instead you introduced me to more containers and encouraged me to branch out and accumulate more. I could always count on you whenever I needed a fix. I needed that. I’ll miss that. I’m not sure where I’ll turn to next. I feel lost and scared just thinking about the “hit” that will not be next month. The shakes they are coming on strong now, I don’t know if I can go on. Please, please don’t leave me.
Signed,
I’m an Organizing Junkie
Oh, I’m so sorry! I hope this award will cheer you up. TAG, you are it!
I’m so sorry! You’ll have to forge ahead, feed your addiction elsewhere, (and share with us, of course) and stand strong through the loss.
Laura I had to nominate you for an award. I’m sure you’ve gotten bunches but I love your blog and the kick in the butt it gives me to get organized. You can check it out if you like at my blog.
Blessings,
Kim
Ok for some reason it didn’t post my link so I’m trying again lol.
I am so sorry for you, but you can still vist the website? and look through the old mags? i wonder if you could get the people who are associated with the mag to stay in touch… but thinking of you through this hard time 🙁
As much as it fed your addiction, think of it this way…one less pile of magazines to organize, LOL!
Oh, my deepest sympathy!
I was just looking through an old issue of this magazine last night and I remember thinking that I don’t see it on the newstands very much. 🙁
I was very sad when I got the same e-mail. I love that magazine. It was a great magazine. I wonder what happened.
So sorry for your loss.
I just saw this magazine for the FIRST time the other day. What a bummer!
I, too, went into a mini-depression over that email. I just found your site thru TipJunkie so maybe YOU will now give me the organizing fix that I need! 🙂
I was pretty sad as well, now I guess you’ll just have to visit me more (it will be just like having the magazine)!!
I too was so bummed to get this email. I loved that magazine.
Tell me it isn’t true!!! I had their Christmas one (until my friend came over and took it the other day when she was cleaning out my garage for me).
I’m with you – shocked and sadden.

RIP, Organize Magazine. Sorry for your loss, Laura.
Hey! Maybe YOU should get into the magazine publishing business!
Now I know why I couldn’t subscribe this weekend. I wish I’d known about it when it started so I could’ve shared in the excitement of the issues. 🙁
I absolutely concur! I am truly sad about this news. I would like to be hopeful that with such a need for information on organizing, that someone else might pick up the mantle and continue the good work.
