I started this de-cluttering project 2 weeks ago to rid myself of all these old items that I no longer want or need. At the beginning this seemed overwhelming as I starting taking things off the walls and throwing out things I never use. The process was more emotional then I originally thought it would be but a calm came soon after. Somehow removing furniture and extra crap I do not even need has gave me a peace inside, my mind has followed suit. With all the thoughts and what if’s that are keeping me stuck somehow they have been less and less. While I am still a MESS, I am enjoying it more. So what, I have no answers, who says I need to. Who says I have to have everything together? No one, that’s right I do not have to, and I can enjoy the fact that I don’t. I am slowly learning to be in my feelings on my own and deal with my own issues. I am using no distractions to keep me from handling whats happening in my life anymore. For right now, I am just allowing myself the time to heal and feel what I need to. Eventually, I will be ready to rebuild and I am exciting to see what happens next.

In the meantime, I am going to do some projects around my house to spice it up. Lets hope these pinterest ideas come out as planned, if not at least I will have some fun trying.

How many times have you sat down and ask this question to yourself, “What is my purpose in life?” How many books have you purchased that promised the answer to becoming happier or more fulfilled? How many products have you purchased thinking that will fulfill you? How many seasons of shows have you watched trying to entertain yourself to keep from thinking about how unhappy you are.

Lately, I have been depressed and been sinking deeper into some hole that I feel like I may never get out of. What was my problem? I have a great job, wonderful kids, a beautiful home, a nice car, great friends, yet I come home and feel no peace or serenity. My life is cluttered with things and items that are not aligning with what I want my purpose to be. My purpose is simple, its been in front of me the whole time, and while I have been searching in books, shows, sleep, exercise, and mindless social media, my family was next to me.

Yes, my family, that is all I need! I want quality relationships with my kids, grand-kids, and friends. The problem is my home does not reflect this, I have rooms filled with items that I thought I needed. Unfortunately, I own distractions from what truly important to me. So, today I am taking back what I want in this life, and de-cluttering it all.

I am only keeping the items that bring me joy and that are essential to everyday living. This blog will share the journey of how I become the woman I want to be. I have all the answers I need and its time to put my knowledge into action.
