Do yourself a favor! Print this list, then go through your home and clear out the clutter. Give yourself permission to get rid of those things you’ve been holding on to. If you have items of sentimental value, consider creating a photo library with captions online. Once you’ve taken your photos you can bless someone else by gifting those special items to someone who would really appreciate using them.
Starting NOW, commit to keeping clutter from crowding your life.
