As usual, I am late to the party on the book by Marie Kondo, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.  Have you read it yet?  I was warned by a friend that it had a lot of odd and  – let’s just be honest here – weird connotations to it.  But, I was also told that it was well worth reading.  I agree.

The whole premise of this book is “Does this spark joy?”.  The first time I read that I thought, whaaaat?  But by the time I had finished this book, I got it.  Do all of the things in your home please you?  Do you love the things that surround you?  If not, then why in world am I keeping this stuff?!?

I started my get rid of all the stuff journey about three years ago.  Long before I had ever heard of this book.  But even now, as I look around my house, I have been asking myself this question and let me tell you that a lot of the things that I thought that I needed to keep are going to live at someone else’s house!

All of the stuff just makes me tired!  I always feel so much better after I have taken a load of stuff off to the Salvation Army.

I have noticed too, that I am very careful about what I bring home from all of my treasure hunt’s!  I  more often put back whatever I have accumulated in my cart than bring it home.  If I don’t love it, it doesn’t come home with me.

There are so many more great little nuggets in this book, I think that you should definitely pick it up!

Have you read it?  What did you think about it?
