Don't let the past keep you from tidying up!

After twenty-one years of helping people remove clutter and organize their homes, it has become very clear there's one thing will stop you in your tracks. The past.

No, you don't have to get rid of anything. Yes, you can keep everything, and you can create order. But, you're eventually going to run out of space. You don't want that. You want to freely move about your home and love being there too.

You may have lost a family member, or gone through a divorce, or maybe life is just overwhelming having to manage all the humans in your home. No matter what your situation, tidying your space will help! But only when you’re ready, and you’ll know when you’re ready because you won’t be able to live with the way it is for a minute longer.

Don't be afraid to just start. Have the goal in mind to feel good in your living space and then jump in headfirst. It really will be ok. You'll be surprised how good you will feel if you pull everything out of your pantry, wipe down all the shelves, remove expired food, and things you no longer use, and then put everything back into categories.

Life is too short to live in a home you don't love. Keep the things that make you feel joy and remove the rest. Set aside some time on a Saturday morning, open the windows, and have fun!
