A Year to Clean!
It's time to show my drawers! If you came into my house, you would think it was clean...until you opened the drawers and cupboards.Proof is in the picture below.
My life is in need of a change. Big changes have already come unbidden into my life, my youngest child just left home and we are now empty nesters! That sounds so pathetic and lonely...I mean who wants to be empty! The other big change, drum roll please....I'm turning the big 5 OH this year! Now, I'm not afraid of getting older or even admitting my age. I just thought I would have my act a bit more together by now.
Contemplating all the changes being thrust upon me, I felt the need and the desire to really create the life I really wanted. I came across a quote from Peter Walsh, the organizing guru extraordinaire: "Your home, your head, your heart and your hips all intimately connected." WOW! Light-bulb moment there. All of those areas of my life felt stuffed with ...well, stuff! Stuff that are no longer was serving my and my family's greater good.
So I am giving myself a year to clean up my life. Why a year? Well, I need a goal and a year is as good as any. A year to get ready, a year to prepare for whatever is next in my life. Right now, I am taking the time to honor and respect myself, my home and those I love. Living more authentically. No more hiding things in drawers, cupboards, or in a bowl of chips.
After I started with this kitchen drawer that was mocking me every time I opened it. No more! I dragged my clean and organized husband to inspect my efforts.He was impressed.Okay, its not earth chattering - but hey it's a start and I am proud of myself. Yeah me, yeah me!
