Phew! It has taken me all day to get the video uploaded but I'm publishing it now and will add Time Stamps so you can easily break it into sections as we work together. And I remind you during the video to take breaks! LOL! What are YOU decluttering today? Anything I decluttered that surprised you?!! LET'S GO! 🙏🏼😁🎉🎉🎉

Quite surprised at how many clothes you have as a minimalist. No judgment. Just kind of surprised 😁 wonderful declutter inspiration!! I’m sure we all have those areas we accumulate more in. I love purses. I’m having trouble letting go of beautiful bags I know I’ll use “someday”! There is something about a great bag, box, or container that appeals to me, but in decluttering my office yesterday, I finally realized I’m not using the containers I’ve kept from last year’s big declutter. Like you, I’m finally going to let them go! Thanks for the always positive, decluttering encouragement!!

@@rebeccam1027 Me too!! She's always dressed to the 9's! Which sometimes I could but got rid of tons when working with Diane back when she was my FL mentor. I pretty much live in shorts & tank tops year around even in Vermont weather. If outside in below 47° I do wear pants accordingly and jacket, below freezing coat! My closet has a limited items and more of others and once we're permanently retired I will be cutting out the rest!

Good job Diane! I love how you honor yourself by continuing to have a good-sized wardrobe because even a cozy minimalist doesn't get rid of things you love, need, and use. I have fewer clothes but that is only because i don't care about clothes. I love that you honor me having a lot more of what i use, love, and need. I love hearing your thoughts about things. Please don't let anyone's critiques get to you. We love you and those of us who have watched for a long time understand your long-time love of fashion. ❤❤❤

Thank you, Diane! I both worked out and decluttered with you. I prefer the working out, because I don't miss anything you show or say. If I'm decluttering, I get off track with your video, all these things are emotional for me. I decluttered in 2020 before moving to a smaller home, but decluttered 5 items, went through some of my husband's items to give to the kids, and went through my mom's jewelry again. 🎉 It's hard getting rid of her jewelry, very emotional for me, so I'm gifting to the girls or doing this gradually. I so appreciate your time and this sweet video. ❤

Diane I do not usually even look at this long of a video but I took the breaks you gave us and it worked well. What you did today is what I call Swedish death cleaning. Do not want to leave my stuff and clutter to my children to sift through after I die. Of course there will be some but not so much as to burden them. As you got weepy over your very special items from your mother, I got weepy over my mother too and she died in 1998. I looked around at what I kept from my dear mother and I still love them and of course I still love her. Bless you Diane and your love for your dear mother. May your memories comfort you.

That was a very thorough declutter and I watched it in four sections. I shed a few tears with you. I remember my mum loved scarves as a young woman but don’t remember her actually wearing any. She did have a huge amount of clutter and my sisters sorted most of it. I kept a lot of her beads that she bought for crafting but then I’ve given a lot of that away since. You’ve inspired me to go back through the clothes that I don’t really wear and send some off to the thrift shop. I’m starting to sort out some of my own art and jewellery supplies. I’ve sold quite a lot of tools recently which has helped. I have a lot of rings so I am wearing them again on rotation. I’m going to make myself some more earrings this week. I realised I don’t like floppy either although I do like relaxed and cosy. I wear jeans every day. I have been and decluttered two tops that were floppy and too dark. One of them had the most annoying sleeves. I decluttered another that was just the wrong shade of turquoise for me and I’d been intending to add a stitch to the top button which always came undone. Going through my clothes I’ve packed my short sleeve tops away and sorted my jumpers, reminding myself that I have some.one lovely snuggly long winter jumpers. Thank you as always Dianne and enjoy your days away x

I am definitely a work in progress but today was so good for me because I saw you giving away things that were kind of hard to let go. My mom passed away 10 years ago, long before my decluttering journey. I think I kept a lot of items out of guilt. Maybe it’s time to readdress her/my keepsake items. If you can let go this soon, then I certainly can let go now. I’m proud of you! 🦋

Stuff and decluttering is surely relative. I have about 5% of what you have and still looking give away what I don't need or want or use. I live in a coastal town and so everyone is quite casual and dressy could be still something casual. So that reduces a lot of my wardrobe. I think what you said about having a few descriptive words about one's wardrobe and then see if the item fits into one of them is a great idea. I listened carefully about why you chose to keep or pass along ...quite a few I had not thought of. Your swaps with friends seems wonderful as you all swap really good quality things. You did great considering you said it is now on one floor in one room. Thanks for sharing ...great motivation!💕🇺🇸🌻

Dear Diane: I think in this video, we are seeing you build a bridge from what was to what is coming. You are honoring precious memories and making sure the keepsakes are in a place where you see them often while still beginning preparation for the excitement of the changes ahead. I've done that myself. You don't want to feel you are creating a new life without putting your memories and feelings of loved ones in a special place for safekeeping. You have to keep working on the the grieving process as life demands that you move forward. I'm sure you are helping others with the example you're setting. Thank you for sharing your feelings as you still take care of the practical things of life.

I pulled a muscle in my back this morning, washing my face 🙄, so my plan for cleaning out my garden shed has been kiboshed for today. So, I’m watching your video for fun! It takes me three minutes to declutter my closet because I don’t even have a quarter of the amount of clothes you have. I dislike shopping with a passion because I never find anything that fits me. And since there are no industry standards for clothing sizes, you just never know what your size might be when you walk into a store. 🤦‍♀️🇨🇦

It's perfectly OK to hang on to some things of your mom. Everyone goes through the grief process at their own pace. Some day, you may be able pass along those items with joy in your heart. And, if not, they will, in time bring a happy joyness to you. The tears of sadness will be replaced with tears of joy.

Hearing your thought process is so helpful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing. I think I'm ready to get rid of some tanks and dresses that are fine, but I'm not excited about wearing.

I love your confidence in your style! You always look so great. I have lost my decluttering mojo but hopefully my brain will percolate this video and I'll be inspired to move forward. I have some of my dads hankies in my drawer too. I so miss him but losing him did make me realise that you cant take anything with you when you go. Xxxx

Took a break from the video and pared down some photo albums. That is always so slow going.

I absolutely loved this video Diane. Our styles are very different but I found it so helpful hearing how you make decisions on each item. My heart really went out to you as you remembered your Mum 🫶. Looking forward to seeing you again soon xxx

Great inspirational video! I donated my wedding dress to the Red Cross. They have a specific bridal store in Edinburgh and you can purchase from there online too. It only stocks wedding dresses, mother of the bride outfits and bridesmaids dresses. I had mine professionally cleaned and boxed and kept for 20 years and then thought why am I keeping. My daughter didn’t want to use it and like you say I wanted to pass it on before it got discoloured or eats by moths. I finally felt someone else could maybe get the chance of a dress at an affordable price, the Red Cross got some cash and I got rid of something that I was holding onto for all the wrong reasons. I gave loads of photos! Don’t need the actual dress! X

Thank you so much Diane, for being so honest and vulnerable with us ❤ My partner and I are in the same boat, looking towards paring down and downsizing. Our complication is that we were both previously in long term relationships so have TWO previous lives to declutter! He has more clothes, I have more kitchen things, he has more CDs, I have more books. We're working through it, and appreciate your prompts

Hi Diane! I am working in my closet along with you!! So far I got rid of 4 shirts that I loved but not anymore, and a skirt. Thank you for this! I love the snippets of mum you show in your video! Good decluttering! I imagine you feel so much lighter letting the things go. I enjoyed this! Thank you for this! 🤚🏽 I have been watching since the beginning!

My subconscious has been mulling style words, and I'm strongly considering: Comfortable, Vibrant, Appropriate. I've not had style words before, but these fit me in this stage of life. If it's not comfortable, I'm not wearing it. I enjoy bright rich cool family colors. And, I like to wear these things I like appropriate to time and place. 😊

Love watching your videos. You’re a real tonic. Loved this one and understanding how you love your clothes that work for you. I know I feel like that about many of my clothes too but not all of them. It’s good to recognise which clothes aren’t working. ❤

Today I am donating some clothes my nephew ( in my custody) has grown out of. Its just frustrating to reach in to get him dressed for the day and then the item is too small. My goal is to only have CURRENT sized clothes in the closet for both of us. Decluttering makes my life easier. 💛

I have a subscriber to your channel for years and I just love this video! Thank you so much for walking through this with us and sharing your thought process. It helps bring clarity to decluttering. I had been having a hard time with my outfits until you mentioned having 3 words to guide you. It inspired me to come up with my 3 words: Breezy Blue Boho!

That was awesome! I realized as you were decluttering that my daughter just celebrated her 20th anniversary and I still have my mother of the bride outfit. Yikes! I need to check and see if it is disintegrating and if not I will pass it on. Thanks for the reality check :)

Such a wonderful video. It is so amazing that you are honouring your mum. The only thing I have from my own mother is her wedding ring, which I treasure. I really need to do this; great motivation ❤

I especially like your thought that certain clothing were past favorites, but since that time you have discovered new favorites. That is a great way to choose which items might be better for someone else to enjoy. I have tended to mentally place new favorites into one general “favorites” category. Your comment was enlightening. I need to go through the items in my closet with a different mind-set. Thank you for your inspiration.
