Spring Cleaning!!!!

It’s the last weekend in September and hasn’t it been an amazing month?!? Beautiful weather! Sunshine rainbows and lollipops! That’s how it has felt to me. I love it.

So I moved house 2 weeks ago and doesn’t that just suck! It wasn’t even a big move but still so stressful. They say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do… Well in the last 3 years I have moved not once, not twice but 6, yes SIX times!!!! Ridiculous I know but just haven’t been able to settle anywhere. But now we are in a beautiful place. I’m back with my Rich and I couldn’t be happier… all that stress is done and dusted and now I can enjoy this spectacular spring weather. I tell you what though; I put new meaning to the term “spring cleaning”! And you know what, it felt great. Out with the old, in with the new. We downsized from a three bedroom townhouse to a one bedroom unit so there was definitely a lot of OLD to go out! But I have never felt so free and uncluttered in my life. It’s an amazing feeling. And I suggest you all try it.

Going through all your old boxes of ‘stuff’, your closet, everything… It brings up a lot of old memories and emotions. I actually went on a bit of a roller coaster ride through the last 10 or so years of my life during my sorting. I rediscovered things I loved that I had forgotten about. I remembered things I would rather have stayed forgotten; but used the time to have closure with a lot of those things. I had a constant movie of memories floating through my head for days. It made me sad, it made me happy, it made me laugh my guts out! But in the end, it set me free of a lot of things I was holding onto unnecessarily. I feel like a weight has been lifted. I feel like I have closed a chapter of my life and opened a new one. Not in a negative way, in a very positive way. I have lived an amazing life so far and am ready to step forward into this new phase, completely uncluttered!

So I urge you all to find one thing to delve into, and tear apart. It’s amazing what you’ll rediscover, and even more amazing what you’ll be able to let go…

Happy Spring!
