I had to be ruthless to get my bookshelf to look like this and this is just one purging – I have eight other bookshelves to go.

Decluttering, letting go and giving/throwing away has been my new passion!

And as I go, I find a home for everything (in a location that makes sense) and I get to organize.

I have been encouraged to write down my wins, even if it is just a drawer. I have also taken some before and after pictures that would make you all proud of me. Keep encouraging, giving suggestions, taking my surplus and supporting me, please.

PS: Before I discard or donate anything – I have been thanking my articles for giving me such pleasure once and allowing them to recycle or re-purpose themselves somewhere other than my home any more and to someone else.
