There’s something about this time of year that always makes me feel like hitting the reset button and getting my life in order. Maybe it’s the cooler weather, or maybe it’s the sense of change that seems to come with it. For me, this year brought a huge change—my youngest son officially flew the nest. 🕊️
I have to admit, it was a mix of emotions. On one hand, I was so proud of him and excited for his new adventure. On the other hand, it hit me hard. The house felt quieter than ever, and I was left with this strange, empty space both in my home and in my heart. But instead of dwelling on the sadness, I decided to throw myself into something that always brings me joy—creating my beautiful LD Keyfinders.
Staying busy with my business has been a lifesaver, but it didn’t stop there. I actually expanded my studio into a larger area of our home, and let me tell you—it’s been a game-changer! I’m so much more productive now, and having a dedicated space to create has helped me stay focused and motivated.
But here’s the real secret to how I’ve kept my momentum going—I started organizing my life one small project at a time. And wow, it feels SO good!
It’s amazing how just setting aside one small task a day can make a huge difference. Some days, it’s something as simple as cleaning out my makeup drawer and tossing out those outdated bottles. Other days, I tackle something bigger, like downsizing my wardrobe. Yes, I did it—and let me tell you, it feels incredible to have less clutter and fewer decisions to make! My rule was simple: if I haven’t worn it in the last 3 months, it’s gone. Everything else I donated. 🙌
This process of getting organized has helped me focus on me again. I feel lighter, more energized, and ready to tackle whatever comes my way. Whether it’s growing my business or just enjoying the calm after a whirlwind year, I’m embracing this season of change with open arms.
So if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed or in need of a fresh start, try tackling one small project each day. Trust me, you’ll be amazed at how much better you’ll feel—and who knows, it might even lead to some surprising new adventures of your own!
I've even created a daily list to help you get started below.
With love and a freshly organized closet,
