Radio Time for A Clear Place
A Clear Place was the featured guest today on Aging Resourcefully, the blog talk show presented by APN (Adult Placement Network).

This is a great interview to share with anyone you know of who is in need of help with their space but is afraid to ask for it. Note: There is a brief intro before the 25 min. interview begins.
