Embrace NO-vember with Slow Living
Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 41Dear Reader, We are almost done with November, and it's been hard not to feel like I'm snowballing to the end of 2024 surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Can you relate? The remedy? Remember the NO in November! That means that instead of looking at what everyone else is doing on social media and feeling like I'm not doing enough, I follow my friend Stephanie O'Dea's advice and Simply Look Only Within (SLOW).

Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, My youngest son Sean just learned how to ride his bike. When he started, we ran beside him, holding onto one handlebar as well as the back of his neck to keep him steady, and helping him get started again with a gentle push. Eventually, he didn't need us to hold the handlebar. Then, he didn't need us to hold the back of his neck. Then, he was able to start on his own. I'll always remember when he said, "It's OK. You can let go." Little does he know...
Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, While I'm known for my poetry writing skills, I've NEVER been known for my artistic or crafting abilities.
