Read this before THE TURKEY GOBBLES 🦃

This is what we've been making space for.

Here’s what I want you to hear today, the day before THE TURKEY GOBBLES:

I hope your home feels like a HAPPY catastrophe.

And not like a storage unit, or museum of curiosities, or a guilt exhibit you’re failing to maintain.

I hope your home feels like a place that can easily stretch to hold the moments that matter.

The laughing.

The squeezing in of the extra chair at the table.

The traditional “why are we so competitive” tournament of silly games that takes over the living room after dinner and before dessert.

When you downsize and declutter your home, you’re not just making space on a shelf or in a closet.

You’re making space FOR THIS KIND OF LIFE. This kind of gathering. This kind of happy catastrophe.

So.

Hear me on this:

If you’re looking around your kitchen today thinking, “I don’t even know where the roasting pan is,” or “There is no way this fridge can handle tomorrow”…

YOU’RE NOT FAILING.

You’re getting really clear data about what’s working in your home. And what isn’t.

And that awareness is the first step to creating a space that feels lighter. And calmer. And ready for every future holiday, book club meeting, spontaneous visit from your college roommate, and your regular old Tuesday night watching Dancing With the Stars.

I help smart, capable people declutter, downsize, and reset their homes so that there’s room for the people, the pies, and the life they actually want to be living. Not just room for their stuff. And on Friday I’ll fill you in on some special bonuses I’m offering through Giving Tuesday for people who are ready to work with me to make some space.

But for today?

I hope whatever is going down at your house tomorrow is deliciously imperfect.

Full of gratitude, mismatched plates, and more joy (and pumpkin pie) than you thought your home could hold.

The kind of Thanksgiving Maddie Dawson (one of my favorite authors) writes about in her novel, A Happy Catastrophe.

“…filled with more guests than we can sanely accommodate, as well as a lot of gratitude, mismatched plates, turkey, stuffing, and waaay too many pies.”
