What a joy it was to be on the Morning Blend with Natalie & Carley discussing two of my favorite things; Decluttering & Donating.

We all hold on to things for different reasons. Whatever the reason, items can clutter our space and mind, causing anxiety and stress. At Simplicity our goal is to help our busy clients identify what items they need, discard the rest & implement organizing solutions that work for their lifestyle.

Discarding can be a scary task, but it brings about great freedom.

You may hold on to items because you know how much money you spent or because you feel guilty. . maybe it was a gift.

Money and guilt should not be a good enough reason to keep items around that serve you no purpose & create stress in your space.

Giving back is more fun when it is personal. Many charities in Tampa Bay have specific needs which means you can rest knowing your belongings will live another life and bless someone else in need!
