Master De-Clutterer

A friend of mine recently shared a meme that stated she use to think about herself as a master organizer but now she thinks of herself as a master de-clutterer. I'm so proud of that type of thinking in people. Our homes and vehicles are extensions of our energy field, and they show the states of our minds.

Ten years ago, when I looked at my wreck of a home, I could see the state of my mind. I chose to pick just one area to honor and not allow it to become dirty. It was a lovely table that went behind a couch. I used it as a kitchen bar. I dusted a bit of it each time I walked past it, and I told my family that I needed to honor that space, and keep it as something beautiful to look at.

I kept my herbs for eating stored on it, in a glass vase with a little water, and I arranged my fruits and vegetables across it artistically. Looking at that beautiful and de-cluttered area, where I actually used the stuff that I kept in my home helped me to feel at peace.
