I did an extreme home purge using the Konmari Method and my stress melted away

For the last few years I have felt like I am drowning. I have been drowning in stuff. Stuff accumulated from a poorly planned move, with having four kids, with surprise twins, with running my business. It just kept piling up. I couldn’t breathe.

About a month ago, Mike and I visited friends who’s house (of three years now), we haven’t seen. As I walked around their home during this (unexpected) visit, I couldn’t get over how tidy and free of clutter their home was. Do people really live like this? This type of lifestyle is an option?

The next day I was still reeling from the stark contrast between our two houses and I realized that an underlying, unshakable stress that I had been feeling was due to our home’s current condition. So, I decided to make a change. A big change.

This change started by reading a book that has been recommended to me over and over again, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo.

Marie Kondo herself shared our progress:

With the strategy and determination hand in hand, we purged. Here is how it went…

Our journey isn’t over… in fact it’s far from over. What has changed is my mindset. That this task is doable and to just keep the momentum going.

We are going to be renovating our home over the next year to truly make it spark joy and work for our family. I hope you follow along!

  1. Have you lost money to STOCK EXCHANGE?BITCOINS and THE OTHER VARIOUS COINS ?BINARY OPTION ?BROKERS ?CORPORATION AND FIRMS ?PONZI SCHEMES ??And it seems so impossible to get your money back??good news THE SALVAGER is here;THE SALVAGER was able to get me back the whooping sum of $85,000 which I invested in some stock early last year based on the advice of my stock broker not knowing I was walking right into some elaborate corporate ploy.
    Court seemed to be no option ;the lengthy court processes and filing and the expenses will amount to more than the original fund I’ve been trying to get till I saw a post about the SALVAGER and THE SALVAGER was able to get me back every single cent and dollar I had invested
