    A great help for anyone.

    Open it to any page and you'll learn something about how to tidy up your life. First day I read a little, I went home and organized my underwear drawer. So easy and it is still organized weeks later.

    Well Intended Reminder

    You may know these "reminders" but never thoughtfully practiced them until after you read these words. Gentle and pure inspirations put your own soul in front of the mirror and you can't help but reflect kindly about your current life. I really needed this for all aspects of my life. Thank you so much and warmest and best things for you to come...love, Evelyn

    Helpful

    Even though I would not go through all the feelings about each item I own to sort., It did make me realize how many things I just keep for no good reason and it is nice to have the things you really love and enjoy around you. It gave me incentive to start tidying . I enjoy the jewelry drawer that I organized and can see at a glance what pieces I want to wear. Even things I forgot about.

    I love this book!!!

    I am obsessed with the concept of " Spark Joy". My house is free of clutter and so is my mind! It is so different than spring cleaning. It is a somewhat spiritual experience. Life changing!!!
