Clear the clutter! Man how many times have I heard that from my yoga teacher? It's amazing how much clutter we have - physically, emotionally and spiritually. It just accumulates. This weekend I started working on cleaning out my office. It sort of became the repository for all of the crap I cleaned out of my living room and it's been bugging me for weeks. There's nothing like a good break up to make you want to clean! My house is almost spotless. The windows are clean (inside and out!), things are alphabetized and colorized and sorted. And the crap keeps getting pitched. It's liberating. It helps you deal with emotions. It just soothes the soul. And the end product? A pretty house. A pretty organized house. Next up, I'm going to start painting things. Break-ups suck. Got anything you want me to paint?
So the collection of stuff below is random. Makeup brushes (who knew I had so many!), books (ok, we all knew I had too many), wallets, plates, pillow cases. I actually really like the pillow cases! However, I have NO desire to sit around ironing the first one until it looks like the second one. Someone might do it. Actually, on second thought, I might actually cover some of the cushions I have and finally bring them to school for my students to use.
Saying goodbye to stuff has become a very liberating process. It's getting harder to find things. But I'm committed to seeing this project through.
Sigh. That's a first.
