Ending a love affair with clutter can be a tough road, especially if you have been together a long time. When your home can’t do for you what it once did, it might be time to take a careful look at what you really need.

Just as we must be careful about the people we allow into our life and our hearts, so must we be careful about the objects we see, use, and have in our homes.  Objects that simply take up space and do not bring us joy, may need to find a new home, where they will light a room with happiness.  It is important to cautiously take stock of what we have.  Start with one space, one counter top or one closet.  Remove all the items from it and decide if it is something you truly love now.
