Welcome to another bi-weekly email and podcast where I share some ideas and updates to encourage you to declutter your life, your home and your mind.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Since the last email, there have been a couple bonus episodes on the podcast.

I had to have a real talk with myself on why I was holding onto it and never making use of it. I had to have a real talk with myself about letting go this 'identity' I wanted to have by owning this item. I need to USE it to have the identity.<br> <br> And it is hard, it is hard to get real with yourself. But it is also freeing.<br> <br> It frees up physical space and it frees up the mental burden that you ‘still haven’t done that craft’ ‘still haven’t worn that dress’ ‘still haven't found a spot for that art you don’t really love’. <br> <br> So, if you are sitting quietly having a real lady chat with yourself, what is something you have been holding on to but never use/wear/do? What are you ready to let go of? <br> <br> <a href="shawnascafe@gmail.com">Email me</a> and let me know!<br> <br> <br> ++ simple heart ++<br> I laid out some heavy stuff on the blog this week. . . . getting comfortable with discomfort. <br> <br> I’ve been spending the past year leaning into this and it has been life changing.
