“bringing simplicity into our lives requires that we discover the ways in which our consumption either supports or entangles our existence” duane elgin

if you are ready i am here to provide coaching services to direct you in decluttering your home. i provide weekly step by step instructions to guide you in this endeavor. it can be hard to start the process of simplifying your home but i have broken the task up into easy to follow steps and will encourage and guide you along the way. this is not a quick fix; it is on ongoing journey that takes time but i am along with you for the duration.

“the ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak” hans hoffman

“unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. if you have them, you have to take care of them. there is great freedom in simplicity of living” peace pilgrim

how it works

every week i email you the task you are to do. you have one week to complete it. if it is not done in that week you let me know and you can have an additional week to finish. you do not get a new task until the you finish the previous one. some weeks you might finish the assignment quickly, especially the simpler ones in the beginning, and you can let me know if you would like a special project to work on for the remainder of the week.

what i ask of you

i request that during the program you do not bring new items into your home except for necessities.

“commitment leads to action. action brings your dream closer” marcia wieder
