Weekend Wisdom: You don't owe anyone your all. Save some for you.
After a short trip, I'm thinking a lot about the energy and attention our stuff requires. My stuff is pretty pared down and yet, it still feels like a little too much sometimes. When I'm packing it and unpacking it and then making it work in a small hotel room, repacking it and then unpacking again, I just think, "do I really need all this stuff?" I'm going to hold onto that feeling moving into the holiday season when everything is twinkling and merry and bright (and tempting). Things turn up that I never knew I needed or wanted for myself and others. Instead of going all in, I'm going to lean out and remember I have more than enough. There is more joy in owning less than in managing more. AND NOW, ON TO THE FAVORITESClick here to see all of the Weekend Favorites (including: how to make your home smell like fall, 5 gentle feel-good rules for gentle living and 31 Halloween recipes). I'm so grateful when you share my work! If you think this would brighten or lighten a friend's weekend, please forward this email or share the Weekend Favorites with this link. xo, Courtney |

Hello Reader, Wardrobe and other clothes challenges can work for just about everyone. When I created minimalist fashion challenge Project 333, I heard from lots of different people. It worked for teachers, moms, travelers and people of all ages all over the world. It was especially rewarding to hear that it was helpful for people dealing with chronic illness, anxiety, depression and/or ADHD. While their experiences were different, they agreed that a simple closet simplified their lives. Here...
Weekend Wisdom: The best things are never things. Next weekend, you're invited to join me to declutter your pesky paper and photo piles. We’ll work through your specific piles of clutter, no matter what they are. If you have filing cabinets full of paper you don’t need, let’s work on that. I will also be sharing my very special (no brainer) filing/sorting system you can use not only while decluttering but for future incoming paper. Are piles of journals, magazines, newspapers begging to be...
