Let yourself be FREE of clutter!

It's the middle of February half way through winter and Spring is just around the corner. Before you know it this new season will be here. During this time of year I feel like a catapillar shedding my shell ready to unveil a beautiful butterfly. I remember when I was a teen my mom dreaded having me in her presence because I want to be transformed. A new exterior, new haircut, change of style, lose weight the list goes on. It's as if I relish in the pressure of the work it takes to have a total makeover. Am I depressed about my appearance? No. I get bored. Weird isn't it? And it doesn't stop there. Even in my living space I want to makeover get rid of the excess get creative. My husband laughs at me and thinks it's a big joke how if it sits longer than a day it's off to the donation pile. The excess of stuff bothers me I feel it's not necessary. Do we buy because it's a need or because it's a want? The next time you are out shopping ask yourself  "Do I need this? or "Do I want it? When I ask myself those questions most of the time I put the article back. Another tool I use is that what ever things I bring into the house I remove the exact amount. Think of ways how to recycle your belongings that you have no use for no more. Give them away to someone who does. Sell them. It gives you extra cash to replenish what you do need. Donate to your local shelter. There are many unfortunate people that could use your donation plus you can receive a tax receipt. Great for you!!!
The warmer weather is coming have a yard sale....you could even clean out the garage!!! Wow I am tired from all that cleaning tips and hope I have given  you inspiration to get de-cluttering.

Second time is the charm

Have you ever wanted to re-do a memory? Sounds corny? Well you know the one that turned out to be the worst mistake you could have ever had. For me I guess it would be getting married. I married so young it was my ticket to move out my getaway from my controlling parents. I wanted my freedom.  Later to find out that we eventually did divorce with three children. Although it was a huge learning lesson for me I had to experience that in order to appreciate the man I am with now. We all have had situations where we wish we could do all over again. Mistakes happen opportunities missed but doesn't mean we shouldn't be given a second chance. I want to get married again I am ready. I want to do so many things that back then I wasn't ready but now I am. Don't you? Maybe you experienced failure once doesn't mean it will happen again. This time make it your chance to rewrite history and make it right. Let me in on what is on your list to re do and I'll do the same.
