I will never be a minimalist, but the main concept of Marie Kondo's book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up (which I interpret as simply "get rid of stuff I don't truly need!") has inspired me.
Every few months I tackle another project, and currently, it's my office. This time I'm going through every last storage tub in the closet, every document in the file cabinet, every novel, every book and magazine on writing.
Good heavens! How did I have so much tucked away in there? With everything now stacked out in the family room, I took a photo to add to this post...but I'm too embarrassed to show it! Even after hauling away four laundry baskets of books, loads of recycling and multiple black trash bags of shredded papers, I have a ways to go! But when it's done, I can envision a sweet sense of peace, of feeling lighter and more motivated than ever to get back to work on my next book.
Are you tackling some extra projects these days? Doing something special this winter? Leave a comment and be entered in a drawing. Four winners can choose one of my books (38 paperback titles, plus three e-books and five novellas) from my latest releases all the way back to the first one from 1999!
Blessings,
Roxanne Rustand
