Hoarders ❤️ Declutter the Hoarded Master Bedroom Again Part 1! Cleaning Motivation & Clean with Me

[@LynnsLaunderette]

Just a suggestion; the next time you get a gift, instead of keeping it in the “pristine condition” and then forgetting about it- take either a video it or photo of gift and make a file on your computer for those pics. Unpack and put away said items. In the end, you will still have the memory both in your head and on video or film for you to enjoy. Plus, you get to use what was given to you without guilt. Just an idea! 💕.

[@merrillb7023]

Or even make a photo album with your creativity

[@whatgwenloves]

Yes! I was about to comment this same thing. Then you could have the photo to look back on if you feel like you need a little reminder of how many people care about you!

[@kbal1451]

Even post the photo on FB or instagram and publicly say thankyou to the gift giver. Then in 12months time you'lll be reminded of their loving gift again.

[@ahoardersheart]

That is a beautiful idea, thank you so so much for sharing that with us 💞

[@LynnsLaunderette]

A Hoarder's Heart you’re welcome, luv! I hope my first comment wasn’t misinterpreted... I read it back and it sounded mean. It was alllll in good spirit. Love the channel!

[@goldfishsnake]

it's such a pet peeve of mine when people don't use my gifts that I give them so I love to hear you changing your internal narrative about keeping gifts pristine! i can't wait until you're able to keep your closet doors closed, it helps so much to reduce visual stimuli in your bedroom and create tranquility.

[@knitsmeganb]

I'm not a hoarder, but I used to keep gifts (especially consumables) in perfect condition for a long time before I used them. I think it stemmed from the fact that when I was a kid my sister was a very social person who had a lot of friends who were gift-givers and my friends were not gift-givers at all so she always got a lot of new things and I didn't. Marie Kondo said in one of her books that if you get something new, you should open it/take the tags off right away to kind of "welcome" it to your home and I thought that was kind of a nice way to think about it. =)

[@regdesousa9763]

Love when you say again lol!!Cause most shows forget to let you know what you have to do it again !!

[@demona1610]

oh yes i've been waiting so long to also see the putting away part i love it!

[@laurabuchanan2180]

even more satisfying then I dreamed 😄

[@AStrumxo]

Yesss

[@keelienne]

It was really fun to watch! 😃

[@nuri2465]

[@cynthiaschaal6379]

So satisfying!!!

[@acuriousvignette4524]

Oh gosh, hearing that box called “porch blessings” made me cry. Such a traumatic time for all and such a lovely gift. I think the keeping gifts pristine is a bit of both ADHD and hoarding from my own experience. Love your channel so much. You give me strength, light and hope xxx

[@creatingthedreamlife]

The bagging stuff is a thing 🙄 I am very motivated to declutter when I hear you analyzing and processing the stuff. Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@ThKiwi]

When it comes to master bedrooms I think people fall into one of two camps: people like me who put themselves first...the rest of my house could be falling down or covered in filth and my master bedroom would be minimal and tranquil. Then there are people who put others ahead of themselves, who would much rather have welcoming common areas for guests and family members than worry about having a tranquil space for just themselves. I always assume that someone whose master bedroom stays messier than the rest of the house has a generous heart and want to make sure others are comfortable and feel at home.

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe!!! I loved reading your message 💜🦄💜 I think people who have peaceful & tranquil bedrooms know the importance of self care so they can be mentally & physically strong and help others ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@jackiem9460]

WOW! I never thought of it like that.

[@dob1997]

you always seem to pile things on your floor, obviously the goal in your bedroom would be a much more minimal space, however, its good to have a proper landing area for things that need attention. for example a letters inbox tray or a chair to throw only semi-dirty clothes over. Maybe in your space you might add a trunk to the bottom of your bed and try to keep any clutter to just on top of that trunk (with no clutter allowed in front of the clothes you need to access daily) - by assigning a specific space like the size of the trunk top, you can then say, ok i dont need to always do something immediately, but once this allotted space is full i need to do a 15 minute hotspot on it- before it takes over the whole room. Just a suggestion! Anyway i just wanted to say how inspiring i find your videos, i am not a hoarder myself, but i do find myself easily taken back by really intense big problems and i get anxious at big tasks. Watching you split this impossible task of de-hoarding the whole house and basement into teeny managable chunks really inspires me to tackle scary tasks in my own life and keep chipping away at them - even when they seem initially impossible. So thankyou for that

[@ahoardersheart]

Ohhhhhh...how I just loved reading your message!!! Thank you thank you!!! I’m so grateful for this 💜💜

[@Raven.13]

Oh my gosh if you could see my homes landing area at this moment 🥺 It took some time but my house only has one designated landing area, my bench desk. I'm feeling inspired to give it some attention now ✨❤️

[@WarKitten]

I watch all your videos but I don't usually comment. I just wanted to say that it's awesome that you're doing the master bedroom! You deserve to have a lovely space to relax in. I'm a 3rd gen hoarder and I had to work a lot on my mental health to become more organized and be able to let things go instead of waiting for the horror of the just in case. I used to do the same thing you did with gifts! It was so precious to me that it was so lovingly and beautifully put together. I changed that by making it a game to put it all away within a day or two and learned to be so excited and satisfied to put things where they belong so I can see and USE them! it took me a long time to use precious gifts because I didn't want it to go but listening to you talk about how you changed that mindset by understanding people wanted to bless you by having them use them really helped me! Thank you for all you do!

[@ahoardersheart]

I am so incredibly happy you sent me this message 💞 I loved reading it and I have tears of happiness to hear other people with hoarding issues healing too!! You are just so amazing!!

[@susanc269]

You rock! I sometimes feel your stress and understand how hard it is to let go of “sentimental “ items. You are doing so well. Your self talk is wonderful and inspires me when I need to let go of things that I really don’t need anymore. Every day in every way, we get better and better!!!

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh your message made me so happy reading it!! Thank you 💜🦄💜

[@alanbirkner1958]

February 2024. I watch your old adventures. Gifts are my love language, too. I found something for one of my daughters in law, something for a dear friend, and something for my son. Then I found the perfect decoration for Presidents' Day. Tina, Al's wife

[@jenniferwright8355]

I loved seeing the items being put away!!!! Such a sense of closure!

[@ahoardersheart]

Yes! Closure that is the perfect word!!!

[@kodiekahle484]

I loved seeing you put things away in the bins. Great job today!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much 💜🦄💜 I think I will add that from now on!!

[@alanbirkner1958]

September 2023. I've never hoarded. But you remind me all change takes time. Tina, Al's wife

[@rosearthur983]

I have issues too in my master bedroom. I'm going thru a pile in front of my dresser and watching your videos.🤗💗👍

[@christinacottrell6505]

Wow finally someone real! Who is sharing her real struggles! I’m not quite a hoarder but I do have a lot of stuff and it’s hard for me to declutter and then I get stuck.

[@nicolabrazier3838]

I loved the putting everything away section of this vid. So satisfying. You're doing a great job. Maybe a few shelves in the bedroom? And a landing area for paperwork and bits N bobs? Xxx

[@ahoardersheart]

That’s a great idea!! Thank you for sharing this with me ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@eavening4149]

New thought to replace keeping gifts in pristine condition: Everytime you use each part of the gift you will be reminded of your wonderful friends thinking of you

[@pyrobunnymaniac]

Oh my gosh, I saw your updated house tour & finally just finished binging/catching up to where you're at in your journey now. Sorry long comment but I have tons of thoughts, I also recently found I had ADHD (+ my grandma was a hoarder, my mom OCD, and I was a bit of both). Also the heart and emotions aspect I'm learning are also related to it. So glad I recognized some things when I was entering college, and watching this is like where I was, where I would be, and also a mix of where I am now. ANYWays, just throughout wanted to comment each time how I'm so proud of you! It's so nice to see someone with the similar things that I'm even discovering for myself. It is a process, and so many things at once--the grieving, the letting go, the opening up to bring space to the present, etc. I know for me it's like yay! getting free stuff and not spending more $ when actually USING and living with the things i hold now. I have been sliding back and starting to struggle recently and that is why i just want to say you are killing it! YES build those maintenance habits, yes declutter, and as you continue, you can process and spend time with the things that matter and more importantly start living with yourself instead of the items that are stuck in what could-be's. I don't know if that made sense, but just thank you :)

[@helpfulhabits5217]

I find when ever I declutter an area again I'm able to go that level deeper and I'm always pleased I did. Little and often is my decluttering style. 😊

[@ahoardersheart]

Love this!! You are so right!!!

[@kylietravis3427]

The footage of the putting stuff away was sooo satisfying and a great way to keep accountability! Keep crushing it mama!

[@Brigitte_Cantin]

Good for you for working on this most difficult issue. 👏💖

[@Alex-dz2et]

Yay!!! I’m so impressed with the reduction in plastic bags on this episode. Your effort to use canvas bags is admirable. It’s the first strategy in the waste reduction rule of Reduce Reuse Recycle. Everyone knows and gravitates to recycle ♻️ but the reduction of plastic products on the planet is the most important of the three. So bravo 👏🏻 you. Well done.

[@naleia88]

You are my favourite KZbinr. I just love the way you are going through your stuf. It inspires me so much. Also to see things I thought only I do, then not feeling alone anymore. Big hug 🤗 Love from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@sonehorne6802]

You are doing great! One day at a time, we all have our stories.

[@lisachaput2952]

It's amazing to see things go in their homes. With the trashy trashy pile, you can add those items as well, because you won't be picking them up anytime soon! The next time you straighten your room will be easier!😉

[@lindastewart4565]

Not a hoarder but I love bags, although, I have been cleaning those out. For the porch gift, I would put it all away and then you'll think of your friend every time you use those items. Maybe use the basket to give others a porch gift, waffle lip balm comes to mind. 😉 Now that you've cleaned in front of the closet, which looks great, take the time each night to keep that part clean. Can't wait to see the next video! Way to go!

[@GamerGurl236]

One thing id like to say is having a place for everything, so say if you have dirty clothes get a hamper and throw the clothes in there. If theres papers have a file for them and label what papers are and what year. If everything has a spot then it will be easier to put things away. Just an idea

[@eavening4149]

I store things in bags also, but they are permanent tasks. I have 1 bag for bills which has checks, envelopes, stamps, and everything I need, 1 bag for deposits with ledger, deposit slips and everything, 1 bag of statements for data entry into the accounting software and a list of what accounts need to be entered with monthly check-off spaces. This is my method to make sure doing all of these tasks are as easy as possible. These bags all have their dedicated spaces on a bench. I would hang them up if I had a good spot where I could drill into the stud. I also put individual projects into bags for easy portability of a lot of documents. When I do this, I write a label and attach it to the handles so I don't have to rummage to know what is inside the bag.

[@christinabo63]

You have become such an energetic person in front of the camera. It seems the time was right for the reveal. The bedroom will be done on way less time than before and will be even better than after the last decluttering. You go girl! 🦄

[@ahoardersheart]

You are absolutely right!!! And I feel free that I revealed myself! I don’t have to hide or feel ashamed that I have hoarding disorder. I’m healing everyday and I’m excited to encourage other people in their journey too!!

[@christinabo63]

@@ahoardersheart the disguise made sense at the beginning of your journey. It made it possible for you to be able to film your progress. That's why I am glad you chose it, because you could be you - vulnerable, sad, excited, exhausted by emotional decisions, successful. Like a Pokémon you have evolved into someone stronger. This evolution meant shedding your skin. Out came a beautiful butterfly with a warm smile, warm eyes and a strong heart. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you, through all the Ups and downs, piles of tossy-tossy 😃, backslips, (yard) sales and Sharing tables.

[@juliebrooke6099]

I love that you’re staying so positive. Keep going, a few minutes a day and eventually you’ll get down to a manageable amount. Every time you get rid of something or put something away where it belongs you’re making progress.

[@debbielicona5030]

I HV never been to a doctor for ADHD but I HV a lot of the traits of it. It seems like its getting worse , and I HV to HV the same seat at work for breaks , or my whole day is messed up . I HV never cared before for stuff Like this . I do enjoy ur process and explaining so well . thank u

[@jenniferbriggs8465]

I love that most of this was "oh, I have a place for that!" I'm not a diagnosed hoarder, but definitely have hoarding tendencies. My room has been CLEAN since March and I noticed at first that I was uncomfortable with the open space. I wonder if you are having simular feelings subconsciously and that is leading to the recluttering of the room. You are such an inspiration and I look forward to every episode!

[@alanbirkner1958]

When I worked in an office I had 4 pairs of nice slacks, 6 short sleeve tops and 4 cardigans. I mixed and matched. Gradually reduce the number of clothes you have. Tina

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

I love that you say “recovering hoarder” because that’s how I think of myself. It will always be a part of me...and I can deal with that as long as I keep it under control and it doesn’t affect my happiness! 💜

[@crystalsdance]

How about using the tall dresser wrapped in plastic in the basement in there? It would be great extra storage for things that really need a l as ending spot. Or. I would use it for craft and wrapping/party supplies. It looks like a great organizer! If it does not match, maybe do a diy to make it more appealing to you in your space! Also, LOVE how you showed yourself putting everything away in the end! Great way to show follow through and encourage us to do the same!

[@faith_teach_create]

Oh my goodness... I'm cleaning my room now while coming across your channel switching through music. I know my mental state when it comes down to it. I can honestly say I have bags and bags of things. I have gift bags with things I've sorted. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I give myself grace. I know I've gotten better but it's still my thing.

[@SarahPim]

Pausing because I have been binging your videos and am so impressed by your journey and growth! I am not “naturally” organized, but I became organized at a young age as a coping mechanism for my own anxiety, ocd and adhd. I like to say I have a messy mind so I have to keep things neat. So I really do believe people can learn to be organized- I’m living proof! Now I do professional organizing as a side hustle on the weekends! A few ideas... 1. The less items that have “home” on open horizontal surfaces, the better. For example, your floor is a horizontal surface. To keep from looking cluttered and make cleaning and upkeep easier, try to not store things on the floor. Even your jewelry case has big chunky feet- can Handy Hubby hang the case directly on the wall? This also applies in the kitchen and storing as little as possible on counters- put the knives in a drawer if possible and ditch the knife block! They are supposed to be terrible for germs anyway. 2. Things you use regularly need to be easy to get to in order for you to put them away easily- the Thirty One bags are too high for you to reach easily, so of course you didn’t put them back. Ain’t nobody got time for that! I would suggest moving those bags, since you’ve mentioned a few times that they are more frequently used, to the laundry room. That top shelf can be for seasonal items. 3. Embrace the dumping zones- this sounds kind of odd, but houses and their families have a natural rhythm that try as we might, we can’t break. So when we are constantly picking up things that have been moved out of their assigned home, often that means we have actually assigned the wrong home! This is big for me and my OCD, and how I “think” something should be. For example, if your paper clutter consistently collects on the dining room table, it’s a sign that’s where your command center/paper station should be. (Maybe not on the table but definitely in the room). This would be more natural to keep things in their homes. In my home I fought this for the longest time on the “key drop” zone- finally I had to give in and realize it made me happier to at least have the keys in the dang bowl instead of scattered on the counter, which saved me constantly hanging peoples keys on the pretty key hook no one used. Phew! I have been holding that in for awhile until I got caught up with more recent videos! Sorry for the wordiness, I just love helping others find successful systems and strategies to keep their spaces calm and under control, which is just such a nicer energy to enjoy in a home. The biggest thing when setting up a system is to “work smarter not harder”! Again, I find you so amazing and inspirational and can’t wait to see what you conquer next!

[@ChristineMichelleYT]

It was so nice that you added the clips of where you put things!

[@loribrentano3042]

Christine Robitaille Agreed! I enjoyed seeing that part. Made me get up and put stuff where they belong.

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe!! This seemed to be a big hit!! I’m going to have to do that from now on!!

[@carlaeasley6862]

I apologize if other comments suggest this, but as a fellow short person, I keep a stool specifically in my closet area to motivate me to not make piles or wait for my husband to help. Keep it up!

[@ahoardersheart]

You are absolutely right and I need to keep a stool in there!! Lol Thank you 💜🦄💜

[@katherinemarshall5418]

Your decluttering videos are my favourite because you film them from your point of view and talk about the things you find!! X

[@o0Theresa0o]

I liked this video more because you showed us you putting the things in their respective places. Seeing things go back to their home was satisfying. Please show that in the future!

[@roseannj12]

im so excited to see a decorating episode on this room! i hope you do some crafty stuff!

[@MrsDonaghue]

Loved watching you put everything away 😊

[@ahoardersheart]

That seemed to be a big hit!! I’ll have to add that from now on 💜🦄💜

[@Sadsgirl2003]

I think that you hang onto gifts that are given to you, so that you don’t forget the warm feelings that you got upon receiving them. X

[@ahoardersheart]

That is absolutely right ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@laurenetaylor27]

Yaaass!! I loved that you showed putting everything away. Usually you are going through stuff and then it cuts right to the 'after' and the tossy tossy pile and it always felt like the middle part of the process was missing. Now its feels complete and super satisfying. Can't wait to see your bedroom redecorated, you deserve that nice peaceful space to relax after a hard day decluttering!

[@marysusa6985]

You are a dynamo! You get so much done, even when you're just doing a little. Great job as always!

[@teacup5147]

You are learning and recognizing where your Hotspot and dropzones are which is great and its good to not come down hard on yourself bc you are moving forward. One help in these hot and drop areas around the house not just in bedroom, put a laundry basket or some crate, basket, etc and thats the amount of space u have to fill up and once its full or make it a weekly tidy but u go thru the basket and deal with everything u put in there. Creating a boundary on those spaces was a massive helpful learning tool for my space and getting into rhythm of taking action on items. Also baskets are easy to push to the side to give u access to closet Also its really great to see u go round and add your items to the tubs and homes you've created for like items👍

[@AriLo-d9g]

I like seeing the part where you put the stuff away!

[@SpringRain2010]

Yes, I used to keep the gifts they way where sometimes until the products/food etc weren't good anymore. b Now I take a picture and use the gifts and it feels good that i am honoring the person that gave them to me...and myself too. I like seeing you put things where they go . It shows J\just how far you have come and that it shows that you are even getting things organized. You have come such a long way.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you my dearest friend!! Your message made my heart so happy!!

[@texadianstitcher]

Good job holding yourself accountable by putting things away right away instead of shuffling it around.

[@hmms5256]

Happened with my parents once, though it was only my dad's clothes because mum put her foot down and told him to put his own clothes away. The only time she got away with hitting him was when a white-tail crawled out of his shirt and onto his head 🕷😱😱😱😱

@@hmms5256 Yes! White tails! Ugh.

[@lisadearing5960]

Spiders are a deal break for me!!! 😳

[@sharoncox1734]

I know this has been said heaps of times already, but watching stuff get put away was so satisfying! I think it might help to decide on some places in your house to have as designated hot spots or landing zones. Maybe a basket or tote in each room and then when it's full you just pick it up and walk through the house putting the contents back in their rightful places. I try to do that in my house but I have a partner who prefers to do a big tidy up once every week or two, rather than picking everything up as soon as he's finished with it.

[@aniya5816]

[@barbarap6851]

Good job! Here's a tidy tip...every time you leave a room, take something with you that does not belong in that room and put it where it belongs. This will start to help things from building up. You are getting better at creating homes!

[@kbal1451]

Well done! Must have been much nicer to get up in the morning and get to the closet. Tell hubby we want those wardrobe knobs on those closet doors :D Look forward to your bedroom becoming your decluttered haven. xx

Such an inspiration to see you putting away the things that go somewhere else in the house. I am notorious for creating different piles of things that go elsewhere, and then never putting them away.

[@RishkaPandy]

I needed to see this. I have been letting my room become a mess lately

[@teatimebuilds]

Yes the putting away party made me smile smile.

[@TheRoseLensLifestyle]

loved seeing you put the stuff away! Its nice to see the spaces/ drawers you put things in. :)

[@melissafedeli2022]

I LOVE that you showed yourself putting things in the “like” bins!!! Keep it up girl! I love this channel!

[@carolyncopeland2722]

Good job on not letting the fact that things slid back a little create feelings of guilt. Guilt can be so debilitating. Praise yourself more for recognizing that now is the time to sort it out. :) Have you thought about having a cute container for trash in the bedroom? I have a small cute plastic tote in my bedroom so when I unpack things in the bedroom, plastic bags and receipts etc go straight in there. Then the night before rubbish day I go through the container and sort it into recycling or the garbage bins. I have another bin like it in the lounge and bathroom and use it for the same thing. Basically it means whenever I tidy i don't create a trashy trashy pile as I deal with it every week (and it takes 5-10 minutes a week to sort through all the bins)

[@The_Joy_Finder]

Growth and change: this has a place... I have a bin for that... less putting aside and more putting away.

[@charlottem2747]

Good job. You made very fast decisions in this episode. You are totally growing and healing. So proud of you

[@katherinemarshall5418]

I would suggest that in the future if you get a gift that you love, take a photo! Then you can look back at it and still get to use the gift! X

[@ritavasnanigurbani6063]

Good one! I loved the part you showed how you kept the things which didn't belong to the bedroom! Eouldlove to see that in future videos too!

[@chrisjordan9718]

Personal question I know but I am wondering if you have ever seen a professional for hoarding disorder? You have been very inspiring to me and you seem very "grounded" in your efforts and healing. I am considering seeking a councilor and wondered if people have felt it helps. Thank you for showing us we can be healed.

[@cynicallyyours61]

Good job. And if you go back to your first declutter of the master bedroom, you will see how far you have come. A large space cleared in one video.

[@ahoardersheart]

You are so right!! It truly is getting better!! Thank you!!

[@bigdaddywaller]

I really enjoyed this video!! I love your positivity! And giiirrrrll my bedroom looks just like yours, I have no idea why my bedroom is a catch all 😂😂 Something different in this video you showed putting stuff away, that was new and I really enjoyed it! It was like filming the follow through and we got to experience it! Yay!

[@Siures]

I am short and therefore I do not use high spaces. I never take a stool, too, and the stuff stays on the floor. Think about giving the high shelves to your husband and take the spaces you can reach without effort. That is what works for us.

[@danceBRdance]

I used to work at Walmart in Kansas, they would recycle the store hangers not only from Walmart but other stores too. If you don't have a good way of recycling those you could call you're local Walmart and see if they do in your state

[@danielleshanti]

It was great to see you putting all the things where they needed to go in the end. More work for you to film, but we get to see that you really did it! So, thanks for putting in that extra effort!

[@adequateadult6159]

I loved seeing you put things away! And I loved that you put the gift away. Now you can think of your friend every time you reach for a mug!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much 💜🦄💜

[@Yodavilla]

You have such nice things, and beautiful clothes that you should display it like a boutique, so you feel every day like you are shopping for a new item, and you can see what you have. The room is a cozy place, where you rest of a day of work or fun, so you should try to keep it nice, relaxing, and romantic for you and your hubby. You have to try to have a home for everything, so when you get at home, you put your beautiful things at their place. You are getting there, every day, step by step. You look so pretty and happy. Can´t wait until you start to put your room pretty as you are.

Oh I just loved reading your message!!! I could envision this and it makes me motivated to do that 💗💗💗

Positive note, you seem to have your organized areas sorted. Yes, you cluttered the bedroom back up BUT THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT THAN LAST because with your organized spaces you were able to slip things into their rightful areas without decision making or much thought. That dear heart is PROGRESS and my heart sings for you! Keep up the good fight because you are WINNING. Go buy yourself and your hubby a beautiful new bed cover, that will light a motivation fire like the new carpeting.

What about taking a pic of the gift before putting items to use? Then u can pull up the pic for the memory n when u r ready, hit delete on the pic! Besides...every time u use the item the memory of the gift blesses u w/ every use!❤

We have seen you use those bags often this summer. Maybe you should find something on the lower shelf in your closet that you don’t use as often and put that on the top shelf. Then the totes are on the lower shelf so you will have an easier time putting it back. I am short so I try to keep all spaces that I need a step stool as long term seasonal storage. You are Doug a great job

When it comes to gifts, they are both a sign of affection and a terrible curse. I am not a hoarder but I do have some beloved collections. I also live in a small condo so I have to edit my possessions a lot or I get swamped. I love the feeling of getting gifts but I seldom have a place for them. Of course I feel like a real jerk if I get rid of them. So I have asked my close friends and family to get me gifts that are consumable or just skip giving me a gift altogether. I know they love me without gifts. You might want to enlist your people in your journey - let them know how much you value gifts but that you are a recovering hoarder so gifts are problematic Thank you for letting us share in your efforts. I look forward to every new video.

Thank you! You said " no drama for this mess" don't go down but go to declutter! Sometimes I'm depressed thinking what I have to do and I don't do anything. I love your light spirit. never give up.

[@ahoardersheart]
