Cleansing

I absolutely love Ali Edwards One Little Word concept for goal setting. This year I've chosen "cleanse" as my word. It perfectly embodies everything I want for myself for this year.

I want to cleanse:
My home
My relationships
My schedule
My spirit
My body
My finances

I've spent the last three days working on cleansing my home...I have a LONG way to go but these little bits and pieces that I've started on make me extremely happy (and Hubby is happy too which is always a good thing).

Today I tackled my overflowing shoe pile. Seriously I'm a freak about shoes. I love love love them. However, I haven't cleaned out my shoes in about 9 years - I just keep buying new ones but never get rid of old ones. 75% of these shoes don't even fit me anymore since my feet grew a whole size when I was pregnant with Miss S. It was a bitch getting into the closet in the mornings with this big old mess staring straight at me every day....

But now it looks like this and this makes me extremely happy!! Nice, neat and organized, and filled with only the shoes that I love and that fit me.

And this is the pile that is going to Goodwill....
