Early last year, I started reading The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. If you have not heard about this book or read it, this book discusses ways to eliminate clutter from your house and to create a home that feels tidy. Marie Kondo believes you change your home and you change your life, you leave your job or take more risks and feel free to live your best life in a way you were not able to before. I read this and thought, yeah right, that's not going to happen to me. I followed most of the suggestions, I did not eliminate art or all of my books or all of my things, but I pared down. I did this with my husband and for me the results were much more drastic than for him. I took it to heart and started considering the impact of things on my life. I threw out many clothes, a large quantity of books and started considering my environment. In a year since then, I quit my job and have started to radically evaluate my life. I am not sure if this is a chicken and egg situation but it is true. Here are my biggest takeaways and lasting influence a year later.
