I'm reading a book called The MagicalArt of Tidying or something similar to that and have started implementing it. Started with my clothing. As I was going through my clothes I realized that most of the clothes I had were purchased simply because they fit. One of the premises of the book is that we should only own things that "spark joy." I ended up getting rid of 2/3 of my clothes. It was so freeing. Now when I'm shopping I'm only buying things I just love.

Also I felt so old in my old clothes. Now I'm feeling so much younger. No more old lady clothes for me!

Is that Marie Kondo?

I didn't buy the book but read enough online. I did some of the things in it. I can't embrace it 100%, but I do ask if any new purchases 'spark joy' and do I have space for this purchase. There is no way I am purging all my books or my fabric!!!!

So totally true! Photos and craft supplies would be too hard but I will try. Also it's a little "new agey" but I've kind of modified it for myself- instead of thanking the items for serving heir purpose I thank God for using them in my life and to use them to bless someone else. I also couldn't feel comfortable in a bare home- I like my things around me but so want to make sure the things I have around me are the things I love and not just clutter or junk.
