Since I have developed health issues and am having to change my diet (i.e., fewer packaged foods and more fresh, healthy food), I've realized my kitchen needs re-worked so I can cook in smaller portions. I've also realized I'd started collecting books in the hope I would read them someday (no matter that I have both a Nook and a Kindle LOL). Let's not even think about all the craft supplies I have purchased because I like them and hope to use them "someday"...
So as I look around, I find more and more things that are taking up space but that are not used or that I purchased on impulse and don't totally love. Hence the need to be "fly-washed" once more ;-)
We are currently decluttering for forty days--disposing of something no longer needed each day. So far I have gathered up Pyrex bakeware I have not used since I purchased it in 2006 thinking I would be doing a lot of entertaining now that I am back in my hometown (insert laughter here). I've thrown out "only good enough to wear around the house" undies--you ladies know what I mean, and we should love ourselves enough to wear decent underclothes daily. I'd been storing up used mailing envelopes to re-use and that made sense when I had an active Paperback Swap account, but now that I have closed that account for the time being, I no longer need two large shopping bags full of used padded mailers LOL.
I'm taking fifteen minutes a day and disposing of something and I already feel better about the way my home looks. If you suffer from any degree of CHAOS ("Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome") come join me and thousands of others around the world as we learn to FLY ("Finally Loving Yourself").
