My word for 2016 is SIMPLIFY. My dear friend Melissa gave me this book and I’m so grateful – perfect timing. Last week I headed to Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee, Inc. and dropped off an entire Jetta full of clothes, random bits, boxes of books, weird electronic things, and cables. I have 2 more Hello Fresh size boxes of papers to recycle and 1 more box full of papers to be shredded.
Not sure the weight of those items, but I feel my very soul is 20 pounds lighter. And I still have more to go. All my records will be digital (saving me paper & storage) thanks to Dropbox, and I haven’t even started on my closet yet. I’ve hung more art in my home – beautiful things that bring me joy. I’ve unearthed items that made me laugh out loud – and I put them on the wall so I can see them every day.
When I was in Japan visiting my family stationed there, I admired the lack of clutter in their home (My nephew is 1 – they STILL had a clutter free home!!! Geniuses.) Therefore, I simplify. I will surround myself with people and things and activities that bring me joy. Everything else must go.
Hoard no more, my friends!

What things, ideas, emotions, or trauma weighs you down? I’d be honored if you would try Connective Tissue Massage and Structural Integration with me. We hold trauma in our bodies down to the cellular structure. When we open up and let go, things begin to change for the better. Your first hour of connective tissue massage is $25. Try it and see.
Release. Restore. Renew.
