Organization

This year I have deal with a LOT of crazy things...and I have also discovered that a LOT of those crazy things are out of my control. Me being a control freak- I started searching for something I could control....I also started realizing that my home was becoming this prison that I lived in. A prison where clutter and disorganization had become the warden. And then it hit me...I can control the organization of my home, I can make it a sanctuary.

I found this on pinterest and became super inspired! I love when she says


                  "Give yourself permission to let go of the things that aren't helping you to build an extraordinary life. You and I aren't here on this earth to amass a home full of meaningless junk and earthly treasures. "

 SO I started throwing things away. I would stand in an area that annoyed me and think things like...Do I need this? Does it serve a purpose? Does it add to the serenity of my home? Do I need it more than someone else I know? If I found myself answering no...I got rid of it. I have a pile in my garage for yard sale/donations, I made a pile for people I know would be interested right away and there was a lot that I just found to be trash. SO far my kitchen and my children's room are coming together. It my bedroom and the office area that I am DREADING. I have found that I am already feeling better though :) I am allowing myself to keep things that only serve a purpose, even if it is just to be aesthetically pleasing, but I HAVE to be happy when I look at it and not more stressed out. Once I get to the organization of my home I am hoping to have more of a schedule for cleaning certain rooms and laundry.

I know I will never have my life together...but there are just some things I CAN control. So this year I am praying my house is one of them....Faith and physical health to follow??? I hope so!
