What to Do When You Are Ashamed of The MESS You Live in

My mother's way of keeping a house in a lil book → https://vernaafter60.com If there's a room you don't let anybody walk into, this one's for you. Your house is not a reflection of who you are. It's a record of what you've been through, and a record can be rewritten. We talk about why the gap opens up in the first place, what a cluttered house is actually costing you beyond how it looks, a simple way to sit with a room before you touch a thing in it, and three piles that make letting go easier than keep, donate, and trash ever did. There's also a word for anyone watching this on behalf of a parent, and one thing to do today, not this weekend. Everything here comes from my mother's house in the mountains of East Tennessee, and I put her whole way of keeping a house into that little book.
