I love the feeling of things being simple. I want to carry less around...is it possible for a woman to not carry a purse? I want to bring less "stuff" home and take more "stuff" out of my home. I want the counters to always be clear but there is always that one place where the mail is dropped, magazines and flyers etc.
Recently I organized my laundry room by hanging a key holder on its wall. No big deal you might think but now when we walk in the house we hang the keys right there instead of putting them on the foyer table. I know a couple who have the least cluttered home I've ever been in. I wonder how do they do it? Was there a closet full to overflowing with their "stuff"?
What I've discovered too is that when my mind is cluttered with thoughts, worry or anxiousness then my outer space looks cluttered. Whatever is going on inside of us out pictures around us. But I do think our house is decorated like most with nick nacks; pictures; furniture and such. Yet sometimes I want to clear every space of its weight but how do you give away gifts given in love? How do you give away stuff you think you'll need one day?
Somehow I think it's a Nike answer.... Just Do It! I'm not a hoarder. I don't have a messy house. I just want more clarity around me. Maybe there's an inner shift taking place within me and the outer is trying to keep up. Can you relate to how I'm feeling and if so what have you done about it?
