Every other Thursday, one of our editors pulls back the curtain on their space, inspirations, and reflections on home. 💌 A letter from our editor, GraceSpring is officially here in Los Angeles! It's a joyful combination of dewy in the mornings, sunny during the day, and cool enough for a light jacket in the evenings. The "spring cleaning" bug is also here. Cleaning out my guest room closet and going through my junk drawers have been sitting on my to-do list for a long time... but finally, over the weekend, I felt energized to get to work. And if I'm being honest, the work is not done: I write this to you with a pile of laundry on my bed, a "donate" bag in my car, and one more closet to go through. But it feels good for the project to be underway. Here's a peek at my living room: one of the only places in the house that looks clean and tidy right now.
To me, decluttering has impacts far beyond your physical space. Your home is an outward expression of you! The little nooks and crannies you’ve been avoiding, that are stuffed with junk that needs to be looked at, are not unlike the process of caring for your inner world. Whether it’s feeling your feelings, setting boundaries, having a hard conversation, or letting go of something that’s been causing you stress, decluttering makes space for the life you really want to emerge. For the one that’s aligned with who you are today to come forward… Even plants can’t grow without space for their roots to expand. So here’s how I’m decluttering this week and freshening up my space to reflect more of who I am now.
