Carry encouraging words wherever you go
Have you felt it? That overwhelming need to dispose of all clutter now that the holidays are over? I’ve cleaned out one closet and have about seven more to go. I’m clearly not the only one feeling it, because I got a letter from a woman in Wisconsin whose need to downsize meant an upswing
