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.

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). In Episode 168, Stephanie and I talk about her new book Slow Living: Cultivate a Life of Purpose in a Hustle-Driven World and how she has found contentment by looking within, planning ahead to be slow, and accepting what we can't change so we can focus on what is within our control.
