There are so many people who depend on donated items in thrift stores. Depend. If you could think of yourself as being on God’s errand to bless someone who will thank God for the items they needed/wanted…

[juliesanders]

I feel the need to comment regarding the person who had lost their mom and wanted to save everything. Please give yourself grace. Both of my parents passed on within 8 months of each other 3 years ago. My parents were savers and every time I started to go through their things I would run across something that triggered a childhood memory. I cried so much and it took me so long to go through their things. The best advice I can give is to just be gentle with yourself. This is exponentially harder for those of us who are sentimental than any other kind of sentimental stuff I have ever dealt with. When you're going through the possessions of a loved one who has passed there will be no new memories made. And especially if you are an only child or the last of your siblings or possibly estranged from them you probably are the only one who holds those memories. It can be an extremely emotional and difficult experience. Go easy on yourself. You may need to keep more initially than you will once more time has passed. Make peace with it and give yourself permission to not do it perfectly right away Take some time to let your heart heal. It will get easier after more time passes to prioritize what means the most to you. You have my sincere condolences on your loss.

Surfaces are not Storage. I've never heard that before, and it's now my new mantra. Thank you Cass

22:25 Dana's answer just blew my mind. We hold our entire homes and psyche hostage because of a fear of having to replace something; how absolutely crazy is that thought process. I would literally pay someone 500 to come in and declutter for me. Now I'm just gonna say I'm paying myself, thus saving $500 that can be used to replace any "mistakes". OR think of it like, I gained my HOME back, there's NOTHing worth regretting for that peace of mind. You just straightened out my very distorted priorities Dana and all, thank you!

[michianamom]

Dawn addresses things logically and practically. Cas is the boot camp motivator to get it done. Dana handles the emotional aspect.

Do really appreciate the acknowledging of people with energy limitations. A little bit at a time still gets you to the finish line.

25:42 !!! Dana, your "the thrift store is my storage unit" rang a bell with me! I have a family member who chooses to live WAY FAR off the grid and this is how he manages his clothes. He'll buy a pair of jeans, or whatever, wear them until they are beyond hope, then trash them and pick up a "new" pair at a thrift store.

When I stood in authority Jesus gave us and loosed procrastination, clutter, disorganization, laziness, overwhelm, shame, guilt (and anything else that comes to you) in Jesus name daily for a week I experienced a total shift. Have been getting so much done!!! Also binding to me productivity, organization, effectiveness, eagerness, capability, success, etc., in Jesus name. Game changer!!

If it's not a hard YES, it's a hard NO. Love it!

[sevenschmidts]

All 3 of you have made such an impact on the state of my house! I love seeing all 3 of you together. Thank you for all your work to help us all!

Three best people I’ve ever watched…caring, sincere, loving!

[Ann.shecopeswithhope]

BEST team ever… I am unfrozen after 30 years of declutter struggle! Thank you Ladies 🥰🥰🥰

[peggymarshall]

Friends of mine downsized to a motorhome to travel. The defining question for them was: do I own it or does it OWN ME? That's why I so like the title of your course-it really is about taking back ownership. YAY🤗

[trinityriddell]

I've always been a messy person. LOVED finding Dawn bringing up that having less creates less mess. After getting rid of things there have been much smaller messes that take only a few minutes to clean. Yay!

[lkreinmiller-author]

Love the idea of the all-day group decluttering. Encourage everyone to not wait until they HAVE to declutter, like for a move. I just did this Herculean feat because I moved after 42 years in the same house, and it was a miserable soul-sucking experience that took months.
My new mantra in my new house - purge, purge, purge!

[MelindaPlainandSimple]

Love all three of these ladies! They have taught me so much!!!

[kaybeanscloset]

Something I learned over time with sentimental items or clutter!

A neighbor gave me tons of garden tools I for sure needed but couldn’t afford! My neighbors dad passed away and instead of her keeping all these items she didn’t need… she left them at my door! It made my heart melt. And now every time she stops by or sees my garden she knows I used her dads tools and she is just beyond thrilled about it!!

Something I never thought about until it happened … and now I get to lend my tools out to neighbors who need to Barrow something random. It’s now the gift that keeps on giving! And I think my neighbor loves it and I think her dad would be really happy his items live and love on!!! And serve their purpose.

Thanks for all you guys do! Community is SO important!

[christineschmidt]

I have gotten rid of things in the past that I have found myself wanting again. But I don't actually regret getting rid of them! I know the freedom that comes from having a home our family can thrive in is more important then having every possible thing you ever might want on hand at every moment. It is very hard to make that decision, especially if you have a limited budget, but don't be afraid! Even if you momentary miss something you no longer have it doesn't have be regret.

[nancywilbur]

I so relate to Dana and her overthinking problems 😍. I grew up poor and have overcompensated for so many years. Now I’m thinking of the people who will be clearing out my belongings. Duh is my new catchword!

[kima]

So much inspiration… after clearing so much “stuff “ out, you literally feel like your home can breathe.
