One reason I feel so strongly about what I do is because I believe that everything is energy and that we are so affected by our surroundings. Even though my husband and I purge our belongings every chance we get, we had a spare room that is rarely used but housed many of my husband's things and a few of my daughters things that we hadn't made decisions on yet.
We have a friend coming to stay for a short time and needed to completely clear out that room. This afforded us the opportunity to litterally look at each item and make a decision. Needless to say, I'll be taking one carload of stuff to donation, I put a few items on Craigslist, and was able to toss a few items into the garbage. In addition to clearing out the 'stuff' I vaccumed and dusted the entire upstairs. The sun was shining and I had opened the windows for most of the day to let the fresh spring air in.
After coming home from a party last night, I could feel the difference in the house. It was lighter! The energy of our home was lighter. I asked my husband if he could tell how much lighter the house was. He couldn't. It was only me... because I'm so sensitive to my surroundings.
If you are sensitive to your surroundings or affected by your 'stuff' you might enjoy a good spring cleaning yourself! More on this soon....

Clearing the Clutter from the Calendar
I take pride in not having clutter in my home, I even take pride in being able to say 'no' to events that will crowd my social calendar or will require too much time from my already busy life.
However, I realized I still tend to fill up my calendar, to do list, and mind with things that might not really benefit me, my family or my business. I've been spending the last few months getting very clear on my intentions for my life, my business and how I want to spend my time. By looking very hard at how I'm spending my time, energy and money I've been able to clear the clutter from my calendar. I think I may still have a little more work to do but once the last bits of old clutter and patters are cleared, and SPACE is created, my intention is to add in more time to take care of myself! When I take better care of myself, my whole life will improve and my friends, family and clients will benefit from a new and improved me!
My intention is to also be able to help my clients with this process. Life doesn't need to be so complicated or difficult. Let's simiplify and live with more intention!
