Just Give It a Try

Is your accumulation of stuff what drew you to this book? I can relate. Most women can. What many people don’t realize is how incredibly freeing it is to get rid of clutter. They just see the work involved, the logistics, the possible changes, and the future commitment to keeping a home clean. They can’t envision the openness, the beauty, and the peace this change will offer them and their families.

Keep your eye on the prize—the sanctuary you will create when you remove the obstacles of clutter. If you’re new to this or hesitant to begin, don’t look at your house as a whole. Start with one room. If you incorporate just a few of the suggestions in this book or ones you’ve gathered from magazines, you’ll see transformation. The results of your one room makeover will give you the energy and the desire to keep life simple and lovely.
