“Clutter is not just the stuff on your floor—it’s anything that stands between you and the life you want to be living.”
— Peter Walsh

Over time, our homes and lives fill up—not just with stuff, but with obligations, distractions, and things that once mattered and now… don’t.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve held onto items for sentimental reasons or just out of habit. But here’s the truth: what surrounds us shapes us. And when our space is full of things that no longer serve us, it’s harder to focus on what truly does.

Decluttering isn’t about being perfect or minimal. It’s about being intentional. It’s about making space—physically and mentally—for what brings you joy, peace, and energy.

So here’s a simple invitation: choose one small area. A drawer. A shelf. A corner of your closet. Grab a coffee or tea, put on music that makes you smile, and start. Don’t overthink it. Just ask yourself: Does this still serve me? Does it lift me up?

Some things will be easy to let go of, and others may tug at your heart. That’s okay. Take a moment, honor the memory, and remember—your memories live in you, not in the item. Letting go with gratitude is powerful.

You don’t have to declutter your entire life in a day. This isn’t a race. It’s a practice. And with each small step, you’ll feel a bit lighter. You’ll notice a new kind of energy filling the space that reflects who you are now and where you’re heading.

So here’s to making room—for fresh starts, clarity, and the joy that comes when we let go of what no longer fits and lean into what does.

You’ve got this.
