Decluttering Decor: The crystal clear sign it's time to go!

It's not super hard to declutter things that are ugly or we don't like. But what about things that are cute? Like decor and jewelry? What if we might use it again someday? What if we still like it? But what if...we totally forgot that it was there!?!!!

I am not religious and am removed from the church of my childhood. These Sunday conversations are really helpful. They awaken memories of a time when I felt spiritually connected to something bigger than myself. Linking the homily to daily life tasks makes the message feel accessible and understandable. It makes the act of tidying up and letting go of stuff feel like an act of faith. I appreciate your channel and your message. Thank you.

[@TheEllaTB]

Beautifully said! We are glad to have you among us. I confess I learn so much from people who comment on here that say they aren't believers. But having the courage to look at something from a different perspective than their own personal convictions helps me realize I can learn from others who are different than me as well 💖

[@janaculbreth007]

Love your comment.. I’m a Christian and I know God wants the best for us and that is to be surrounded by the things we love and to feel at peace. God reminds me daily that I don’t need things to show me my worth and that materials things don’t truly bring joy if I start to look at it as stuff that is cluttering up my space.. I am still finding this out!! ;)

I have a family member who has completed rehab, and moved into a sober living home with other women. They have been so excited to receive my things. Most have lost everything due to addiction, and have to start over from scratch. Just thought I would let folks know another good place to donate. I have been motivated to let go of more when I saw how excited and grateful the women were to receive things. I felt happy that they found a good home.

We moved out of our old house last December where we'd lived for 16 years and I could not believe everything I unearthed during that move that had been stuck in cupboards and buried in layers over that 16 years that I had totally forgotten about, and had been shoved in just because there WAS a cupboard that could collect all that stuff. So now in the new house I have an aversion to "decorating" and amassing more stuff that I fear could turn into another archeological layer, even though our new house has just 1/5 the storage space. Instead, it is spring and we have embraced the outdoors and have worked to make our yard more accommodating for the hummingbirds and other birds, and instead of stuff in our house that weighs heavily in our subconscious, we now have light hearts, Our new decor is the birdsong we hear.

If things are ‘cute’ or basically decent they therefore can be donated quite happily by me. The things I struggle with are things that are not good enough to donate and then just going to landfill.

They are going to the landfill now or later - let it be now.

[@kateyare4708]

The landfill is a better place for them than your house. Our homes are not garbage storage facilities.

[@suejones92]

This is my exact struggle. If it will only be tossed as not good enough to sell-I feel like I should just continue to use it, broken. Especially if I would just buy another one(even at resale). 🤷‍♀️BUT, I do want a clear house, and a better image of who I am to others- for myself not to impress them. 🤗 time to let it go!! 💕 so glad for this channel!! ❤️

[@Nan-59]

I often have that issue, as well. I hate giving things to the Salvation Army if it's not good enough for them to sell because then the work is going on them. I just don't always know what isn't good enough and what is, so I tend to error on letting them decide, unless its super obvious trash! 🗑

[@HannahMitchell-Art]

@@Nan-59 letting them decide means they get lumped with the cost of dumping instead of you... so consider this as you decide what to donate. Thrift stores spend $10000s a year dumping other peoples ill-considered decisions.

I tried using a quarantine box and I was able to give everything in it except one thing to charity. This season I just gave stuff away with only a few things going in the quarantine box. It felt good.

[@TheMinimalMom]

That's awesome! Way to go!!!

[@angelamelum4304]

What is a quarantine box? Is that a video I haven’t binge watched or did my “wiser years” brain forget it? 🤣

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@angelamelum4304 You put things in a box that you’re not sure you want to donate. You leave them there for a certain amount of time, say a month or six months. At the end of that time, if you haven’t needed them or still want them, you donate without taking them out of the box. Also, make sure the box itself is donatable, not a bin you want back.

[@TheMinimalMom]

@@angelamelum4304 good question! It’s just a box you use to pack stuff away for a little while to see if you miss it or not! Then after a month (or two or three) you usually have more confidence to donate the stuff because you realize you didn’t miss it :)

[@angelamelum4304]

I wonder if I’ve kind of already been doing this. It usually stays in my closet for a couple weeks and then it goes. Someone needs to make a video of minimalist things they were doing before they became a minimalist. I with the exception of clothes, have always done so much of these things. My mom was a hoarder so I tend to do the exact opposite knowing it’s never going to bring me the joy I’m craving.

[@rbhare7667]

In the midst of my personal struggle, I remind myself that this "thing" will bring joy to another. Maybe the love and happiness it shared in my home will somehow get passed to another.

[@clairefletcher573]

Yes this is what I have to start thinking. Not in a burden type way but that someone else could find use or joy from it. Thank you for reminding me of this 🌈

[@jenniferwright8355]

Exactly.

Once a pastor said that about personal struggles more broadly--I can remind myself that the struggle will allow me to reach across and bring joy to another struggling person. While we are exercising this muscle in our homes, maybe we can exercise it more broadly.

This will probably be a bit long. My husband and I are building a tiny home. D was worried that we won't be able to fit all of our stuff into it. I remember Dawn saying that we use about 20% of the stuff in our house so I told D that number. He thought for a couple of minutes. The lightbulb flashed! He said that we'd put the 20% of stuff that we use all the time into the new house. The other 80% we would give away/throw away. We'd never miss it anyway. To say I was surprised would be an understatement! The man hates to get rid of anything that is still useable. My late mom used to tell a story about a woman and her sister. (At the time, Mom and Dad lived between San Francisco and Sacramento. If you went to the city to shop, you went to San Francisco.) The two ladies went to the city to shop. The sister found a beautiful negligee set. She bought it for "a special occasion," possibly a milestone anniversary. Ten years later, the sister died. Her grieving husband asked his sister-in-law to help pick out something for his wife to be buried in. Her sister began to search through the closet. In the deepest recess of the closet, on a padded hanger, was that lovely, dust-covered negligee. Her sister pulled it out of the closet and asked her weeping brother-in-law when was the last time his wife had worn it. He had never seen her wear it even once! The sister was buried wearing the negligee she had saved for a special occasion.

And I do think they like seeing hubs drive up to the drop-off area! I'm to the point now of not even second guessing what I donate.

After 20 years of military travels we have decided to stay in our tiny 1008 sq ft “first home” we purchased 15 years ago.

So no room by room I am going through and renovating and purging. I have always done things minimally, clothes etc... but this has been soooooo freeing... except for homeschooling stuff... I have an 8 year gap between kids... and the curriculum we use is expensive so I am just boxing it by year... but other than that it has been wonderful finding your channel and getting back to the heart of what I have always tried for... my kids are not so much a fan but I have been going through and pulling out everything that is overwhelming to them.... the easiest way to see you have too much is when you go camping and there are no fights... then you come home and they are arguing over toys.... so we are getting back to our heart and family’s values.

I have just sorted my jewellery box and donated so much too. I have kept just a few special necklaces and pieces that have memories that I love. Classic pieces. I also seem to be able to make choices each day as I go in the wardrobe to let other items go. The calmer I become over it the easier it is to realise what I don’t need anymore. So thank you.😊

You two are truly a dynamic duo!

Thank you ladies for your Sunday videos so special!

[@colleencunningham8790]

Your haircut is so cute, Diana! It is so fun to watch you both. I have always wanted a sister, but never had one. You are both so blessed.

I love your hearts and your presentation. Thank you for that and your commitment to encourage others and help us all grow together in Him...🥰

[@milliearnold5087]

Absolutely the best video, I love all your sisters illustrations from the Bible. Always great videos.

[@kittenmixer812]

Love what you said about spring time and new beginnings and witnessing things for the first time.

[@susanweiss9794]

Thank you both for the reminder of checking your heart ❤️ so needed to hear this!

[@diane3428]

Love, love, love these Sunday videos!

[@lisabirkner6212]

Thanks for mentioning 'spiritual winters' reminding me that the hope of spring comes spiritually too. Also to quit rehearsing the past that cannot be changed and just to turn it over to the Lord. I so enjoy the Sunday morning chats.

My husband is FINALLY getting on board to declutter his stuff. Most of it is old computer stuff which has been outdated for years!. Yay!

[@rebeccaplusa7381]

I love your Sunday videos, they always make me feel refreshed. I feel like Diana knew exactly what I needed this morning!

[@tinatippin5705]

Awesome prayer and encouragement. Thank you both.

[@MichelleD1989]

Totally needed all of these reminders today. Praying daily for God's healing of my body, heart and mind. #disabledveteran

❤ May God heal you. May moments of peace and joy always come to you when you need them.

[@esthersoto7235]

Thank you ladies! You all are such a blessing!!

[@tawanarose2898]

I praise God for your videos and devotions together. They really bless me. Thank you.

[@kirbylewis6869]

I felt the Holy Spirit in the prayer at the end today. I have had a rough couple of days and being prayed over by Diana’s calm voice was so uplifting and encouraging to me. Thank you for being a light in this dark world!

Oh this video came at the perfect time. Been on this minimalist journey for a while now but yes I just thought of a couple more things that can go. Off to declutter those right now thank you 🙏❤️

[@lindamcdermott5475]

Thank you Diana for your healing words. You addressed a situation I recently experienced and helped me let it go. Thank you. Moving on, Dawn, you have given me a new prospective on the “just in case” items that I have been holding on to. I think I can finally look at so many of my all ready purged cubes with new eyes, and just let so many more things go. I think I will start with artificial flowers, purses, that out of control, 30 years of jewelry collection that has already been purged. Now I’m ready to move on to the next level. I’m becoming a “purge addict “....... everybody has to be something, right? Have a blessed day. I enjoy your videos so much. I feel like you two are the good friends I haven’t met.

[@TheMinimalMom]

Wow, this is all just so cool to read!! Thank you and many, many blessings to you!!! (We feel like we know you, too!! 💕)

I have not reached my de cluttering goals yet, but I have always enjoyed house cleaning. Particularly if I'm doing something like polishing silverware or a cleaning something that hasn't been used for a while and as you clean you can see the shine or light come back to the object. It reminds me have we have been made clean and new through Jesus. Happy Spring hope you keep enjoying the newness of spring.

[@mwebb3014]

This is one of the most powerful conversations you two have had. I will watch this one over and over again. Thank you! 💗🙏🏻

[@MESDR6886]

You know what I always wait for; that that little "chick-chick" noise Diana makes with her mouth that my mom used to make to get the horse moving! Haha. Super cute.

[@luciegallagher2710]

Morning ladies, so lovely to see your positive messages today!!! X

[@brisbycat2]

Thanks so much for adding the spiritual aspect of spring cleaning. It was really good!

[@evelyngautier3980]

I so look forward to Sundays with your sister. The best!!!

[@odetterolon7376]

Thank you for your powerful testimonies! I’m a Mennonite Christian, from NW Ohio, & appreciate your thoughts & prayers. I have been enjoying your channel for awhile now.

[@daygirl2659]

I love Sundays with you two💗🙏🙌🏼🌸🌿

[@JJ-cx8gl]

yes, lets rejoice in Spring !!! I love your channel. diana thank you for today's prayer.

[@a1bestrentals]

I love the devotional parts! So encouraging! Love you both!

[@jennifernorton5885]

I decluttered my costume jewellery 2 weeks ago and so related to this. I’m not one for wearing jewellery except for special occasions too so now I have just one box not two. And the one I kept was handcrafted by my dad who is now 79 and I no longer look at the cheap ugly one that was on top of it.😊

[@motherwolf8407]

God bless you Ladies! You are being used to change lives for the better. I needed your words today!

[@meredithbosco7273]

I finally decided that I’m going to hang the matching necklace with each outfit on the hanger, so I actually use them. It’s been so great!
