It’s been a little bit since my last post! I’ve missed everyone and am SO super excited to share a bunch of FANtabulous stuff with you over the next few weeks! 🙂
So, earlier this year, I set out on a 90-day mission to downsize and simplify… and WOW, did I! I gave away, donated, or recycled over half of what I owned! (Talk about freedom!) I also sold my old house, which was very large and had only a concrete patio for a yard. Initially, I had some anxiety about selling the house and how successful I’d be with a sale.
Eventually, I took the leap and downsized into a tiny cottage on almost a quarter acre alongside a river with plans to create a small, sustainable urban farm. I couldn’t be happier with this new adventure! I’m gloriously in love with it!
Downsizing and simplifying was packed – I mean PACKED – full of lessons in letting go. Letting go of stuff that no longer served me, letting go of things that had many memories attached, and in a way, letting go of my old life and learning to live in a new, simpler, more sustainable way.
The rewards have been abundant – I feel more free, open, and light. I feel healthier, more peaceful, and ready to move forward with joy and new adventures! I looooove learning, and holy cow, have I been learning and growing a ton lately! Woot!
I share this with you with a question – What are you ready to let go of in order to open up new doors and let more light in? Create your own 90-day adventure in releasing & letting go (or whatever amount of time speaks to you… 90 days worked great for me, but it’s also an ongoing effort). Close your eyes and touch base with your heart, begin creating a list and then take action! It’s truly exhilarating!

At the beginning of this month I started a 90 clean out and reorganizing of my apartment. To say the least it has been an adventure so far. I got rid of a lot of junk – giving away a bunch of it to charity. I cleaned everything so it shined. I am slowly chipping away at what needs to be done. I have made lists for every room and that has helped me stay on task. I hope when my new furniture comes in July that all this will be done and I will once again have an apartment that has space and not so much clutter!
