Almost proud. And then, slowly, without you really noticing how it happened, the clutter creeps back in. The drawers fill again. The closet starts to feel tight. The surfaces collect things. And suddenly you’re right back where you started, wondering why this keeps happening. If that

Gentle Decluttering: Simple Ways to Create a Peaceful Home Without Stress
For years I felt overwhelmed every time I looked at my cluttered spaces.
