AUGUST SHOUTOUT

LET'S TALK ABOUT CLEARING OUT AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO FALL

Downsizing, Organizing, Clearing Space for the Rest of the Year

 

Hard to believe it’s August and my boys start 5th and 8th grade this week! One thing I worked hard on this summer was clearing spaces, closets, and areas that had accumulated stuff. Each time I do this I realize, the more I let go of things, the easier it is and the more I want to create that minimal lifestyle—and lead by example with my boys.

 

I also worked with a number of people this summer on clearing garages, attics, basements and storage units. While I don’t do much hands-on organizing in my business anymore, these were all worthwhile projects that came my way and I will never tire of getting immersed in helping people/families clear out space!

 

Remember, when you clear space, you create possibilities and clarify your priorities with each item you make decisions about. 

 

So here’s to clearing out, looking ahead, and hopefully finding some new space to work with as we look towards the beginning of the end of 2021!
