Here in February, the month in which we think of love, lets turn our hearts to our homes. While we don't exactly love the structure, property or things that make up our house, the love that we have for the precious personal space of home can't be denied! Here is where we nurture our well-being, hold our family close and shelter the memories that are meaningful. Here is where we will find the space to grow into our creative, contented, generous future selves.
This is our dream space!
Let's take time this month to show some love to our homes by freeing our dream space of the clutter that crowds it. We always cherish pictures of who and what we love. Well, as you work around the house this month, take your imaginary camera and snap a picture of that crowded shelf, the cluttery corner of that room, the closet that isn't functioning well. Instead of looking past the clutter (as we ALL do ) imagine that you are going to show this photo to a friend to explain how what's in the photo is part of your dreams. Try to zero in on the difference between what is loved, and what is crowding you. How can necessary things be stored with less visual chaos?
Love your home enough to let go of clutter and let the dream space bloom.
Last month's "Start with a Plan" thread held a lot of inspiration and ideas. Check that out if you haven't been able to read it yet. Thanks to everyone who chatted there. If you'd like to join those who are decluttering one week ahead of Focus Cleaning, check out Indiana's Focus threads in the Organization and Simplification forum.
If you had some successes with your plan last month, let us know! If you want to share your decluttering strategy for February, this is the place! We all benefit from hearing from others with the same struggles!
