(book cover)

This was an interesting self-help book. It provides more than organizing the tangible clutter but also of mind and body. I was inspired and empowered to tackle my cluttered home.

I started with my kitchen sink and countertop and do I feel great! There really is something to a clean and uncluttered area. Oh, and I've been doing pretty good at maintaining it too!  So I then undertook my kids' bedrooms.  I had sent my kiddos to their grandma and spent the entire afternoon to declutter (got through one room and did the other the next day).  At this point the general areas are clean and simplified.  There are just things that were sorted to an organized pile to later then find a home.  It was quite a workout and seriously overwhelming!!  But it was a great start.  ~Thanks Ms Dee!

In sum, a decluttered surrounding can bring about a happy life.  I'm looking forward to being ecstatic!!
