Ooooooh such a good one! I just recently achieved a milestone (if temporary) goal of tidying my desk/office space and clearing away some aspirational clutter that inhibited my overall mood. Having open physical space has given my brain and soul so much needed calm! This is great! Thank you Cecily!

I’ve been “discovering” Substack as an intentional way to stop watching all day News, wean off social media and become intentional on what I let in and you are a new author for me. I can relate so deeply to your messaging and I’m astounded at how seen I feel. Thank you! Your Substack is my new “binge”!

Allowing just 2 boxes for storage & releasing what had accumulated over generations…. All Before you moved in to your new 🏡 is profound!

Just think how much joy yr Mom’s sequence gowns brought the next person…who was thrilled to wear such unique treasures.

It’s a second life for the sequence gown… both practically/sustainably ….and I think ancestrally it’s a clearing (backwards & forwards) when we can let go.

🙏🏼 for this wisdom ❤️
