I don't know if it's because it's a new academic year or if it's just because it's time, but I feel an intense need to simplify my living space. We have TOO much stuff. It is constantly underfoot. It feels as if it's crawling out of every nook and cranny like the Blob in an old black and white movie. It's as if it has a life of its own and it is daring me to tame it.
My heart is ready to accept the challenge, but my schedule and pocket book want to thwart my efforts. This is probably the busiest fall season I have experienced. It seems like everyday is filled with one appointment or another and each week is different. There seems to be little consistency in my schedule. Some would find that invigorating. I do not. I like predictability. I find freedom in repetitive scheduling. I have found the fall to be extremely challenging: emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. I have not had a true sense of equilibrium. I LONG for equilibrium. Repetition brings equilibrium!!!
Thus my current desire for a simplified home where all the contents within are functional and useful. I'm tired of having stuff only for the sake of having stuff. I want to go through all my cupboards and closests and the basement (yikes!) and get rid of everything....like cleaning your house for moving, except without the moving.
So stay tuned. There may be some free stuff posted on here. I would love for my clutter to become your functional and useful tool.
