…a quote from Karen Kingston, a clutter-free expert, teaching about purging things way before Marie Kondo was a verb.

“When we change our living space, we change our lives. When we take the time to order and nurture our environments, we bring to our own lives a sense of orderly flow. A chaotic, disordered habitat creates chaotic and disordered habits. Today I seek spiritual alignment in my domestic space. I discard all that distracts me. I recycle what I no longer need. I do not allow guilt or sentiment to clutter my environment with things I do not love.” - Julia Cameron

This page of Julia Cameron’s Prayer’s to the Great Creator has been open on my desk for the past week. Each time I sit down at the desk that was recently moved and cleared of almost everything, I read it again. I relate to these words so much. I am often moving things around to find orderly flow and a space that feels nurturing and supportive for whatever it is that I am working on. Anytime I have been away from home for more than a few hours I come home and need to move things around, discarding things that distract, and make space for something new or maybe even make space for nothing, just to enjoy the empty space. To me, there’s so much joy to be found in a room that is empty enough to move around in, to dance and feel the space around you.

Perfume Genius on Jimmy Fallon - My love for this band only grows greater with each new song/performance.
