I’ve begun the journey of decluttering.

After working full time (and more) for the past 20 years, I have accumulated a lot of stuff. Clothes. Decor. Junk.

Early in my life, we moved every 1-3 years. The upside of this for decluttering is you are forced to look at every item, and decide if it is worth continuing with you on your journey.

Over a decade ago, the journeying stopped. The work continued, along with a family of five kids and two adults.

Here we are, now – empty nesters. Now I am taking time to heal my body. I took a good, long look around me.

Immediately, I could see that in order to get the clarity I needed mentally, I needed to clear out the clutter.

A lot of things have happy memories. My therapist said to me – kiss them goodbye. For some strange reason, that helps to let go.

I feel better already.

Now back to the closet to finish the purge.
