Clear out the Clutter...

It's been so long since I've written in this blog so if I have any readers on here, I want to apologize. Life sometimes just take off into this fast forward motion and all I really want to do is sit back and absorb. I can't believe I'm writing this post so late right now. It's past 11 and even though it's a Saturday night, it's past my bed time especially when I have a baby who doesn't know the meaning of sleeping in on the weekends. :)

But as I was shutting my eyes tonight these words just started tumbling around in my mind for this entry and since inspiration is so fleeting I decided to get up and come type this out. Secondly, I went to an intuitive counselor today and she actually mentioned my writing and said that my words are very healing to those who read it. That makes me happy to hear since I don't know who really reads this blog besides my close friends.

Now you see, I actually wrote the title of this entry on March 23 and kept meaning to come back to it, but I just didn't really know what to write. Now I do. Spring time is around the corner which for many activates the spring cleaning time. The reason why decluttering is so important is because it kind of nudges the universe by saying you are starting a blank slate and inviting more blessings and rewards into your life. It's kind of like the concepts from feng shui. You're home carry's a lot of your energy. If you pack it in too tight with little room for much else, that's exactly how life will play out for you at that moment. I'm pretty notorious at being a pack rat myself, but ever since I learned this concept about a year ago, I've seen many new things just come my way. I'm not saying I'm still very good at clearing things out, but slowly I'm getting there. By the end of this year, I would like to have a very clean and clear spaced home. The more clear it is, the more positive energy can flow in and faster the negative energy can flow out. Like the waves in the ocean.

Now this includes relationships. There are some people out there who are just toxic to certain other people. It doesn't mean they are bad people, just their negative characteristics come out more around some people. If you are around someone and they seem to only be bringing out your worse sides, unless you thrive on that kind of drama, it's necessary to take a step back and really evaluate the relationship. Releasing someone from your life doesn't mean you don't have love for them, it just means, you love yourself enough to say, "Hey I don't need to be steeped in negative energy every time this person calls me." So, "Go into your garden of relationships and pull the weeds out." I read that somewhere, but can't remember where. I thought it was very fitting to my life at this moment. I've never felt more calm or at peace than I am today. I go through the ups and downs like everyone else in life with stress from bills and work but overall I feel much gratitude from the loving people I do have that surround me.

They remind me to see the bigger picture and honestly since I've made such a concious decision to surround myself with more positive people, I see little blessings every single day. Life is a give and take, when you give love and joy, you receive back love and joy. :)
