I just lost over 500+ this morning. Disclaimer: this is not about losing body weight. It is about getting uncluttered and thus freeing up to be more productive AND more creative. My husband and I completed a round of Spring cleaning in the garage and managed to identify stuff that we held onto “for a rainy day.” In reality, none of it was serving us any purpose. It was just taking up space. We donated some things while neighbors were interested in other items. The rest… was junk.

As soon as the “junk” was removed, we felt so productive. I headed to my studio to complete my Mother’s Day greeting cards and had additional time to play around.

I’d been staring at a minimalist watercolor that I created about a week ago trying to figure out whether it was worthy of a greeting card. And today, it hit me…. THE STARS ALIGNED.

So my advice to y’all…. don’t delay, get rid of that “junk;” whether it be physical or mental stuff that is holding you back.

You will feel so much lighter, freer, productive and joyful. Happy Spring Cleaning.
