I want to de-clutter and re-organize every inch of my home. Every drawer and cupboard and random little space.

I have lived here for 12 years. I did a HUGE de-clutter when I moved here and there were no closets and I made this commitment to not accumulate stuff, since I had nowhere to put it... Then I got married and my husband built closets, lol. 

But it’s interesting that I still think of myself as this person who did a HUGE de-clutter and now doesn’t accumulate stuff… because it’s just not true anymore!

But as I think about that’s next for me creatively and how I want to live my life in my 50s and beyond… a giant de-cluttering and re-organizing feels really supportive of all of that AND feels supportive of the process of figuring out my next steps with everything.

I am creating space for my new life. I love this.

I wrote about this over the holidays - how I wasn’t really accepting that I am DREAMING of this, I was thinking of it as a chore.

And now I am really letting myself DREAM of it….  it’s getting bigger.

Like, I want to really think about how I want to store things, and get the right containers to make that easy to keep neat.

And… I want to decorate! I want DIY decorating projects!

This really does feel like MY HOME and CREATIVE SPACE… and what if it also felt like my Dream Self’s home and creative space? Because as I have been sitting with that question I realize it’s really not her space. 

This is the part where this dream merges with another dream and I realize that this is another place where I’ve been tangled up about this dream.

I have been dreaming of renovating the loft… but I see as “when I have more money than I know what to do with and can hire people to tear things down and re-build and I go to a hotel for a few weeks and they get it all done”

Which is… not realistic. And it keeps my dream unattainable.

But when I think of re-decorating as something I do as a part of this de-clutter and re-organization… taking little steps at a time... well now it feels like a fun creative project that I can definitely start…. now!
