February 7, 2025 Chautauqua

Beth's Ponderings

   In Woman Unleashed Inner Circle (the yearlong creative mentorship I belong to), we spent the final 21 days of January creating space in our lives (aka decluttering) for what we want to bring in and/or do in 2025.

   Between decades of health challenges, and mom passing away (and her mom before that), I have a LOT in my life, and need to create space around me!

   I did manage to deal with numerous piles in the living room so I can now see under the coffee table for the first time in about 6 years!  And I can walk around the dining room table without tripping over anything.

   During the 21 days, we weren’t just looking at our physical “stuff,” but also our digital “stuff,” habits, emotions, etc.

   Physical clutter is easy to recognize because it’s right in front of our eyes (even if it’s hidden away), whereas digital is easier to accumulate, and you have no REAL idea how much you have. 

   I have (at the time of writing) 6,023 emails from 2013 to today!  Plus, I have an older email account that may be fuller!  Delete time!!
