Simplicity is my word of the year

I just listened to the episode on decluttering and I completely agree that getting rid of the clutter frees the mind (and obviously the home too!). I don’t know why I have such a hard time decluttering but I do know that I’m tired of feeling overwhelmed by the mess. Thank you for helping me to remember what truly matters!
