Well, here we are at the start of the first full week of the new year! How are the new resolutions, the new ways of thinking, and the new habits going?

If you are still dabbling your toes in the pool of change, and unsure if carrot juice, a yoga class, or a 5K will make the biggest difference… consider this:

Anything you would like to see improvement on, whether that is your health, your environment, the company you keep, energy, etc. it all starts in the same place: Remove what doesn’t belong.

Take a look at this in all areas of life, and see what space you can free up so you have lots of room for abundance, joy, and the next exciting adventure!

With space clearing gratitude,

Michelle Dutro
