I've been watching a lot of HGTV this week while house and cat sitting for my brother. I LOVE me a good renovation or flip. Growing up I remember watching a lot of similar shows that featured renovations and interior design. I had dreams of convincing my dad to buy a house and we'd flip it together and make lots of money and just keep the cycle going.

This week I also put away all of my Christmas decor. As soon as I got the last strand of lights tucked away I started right in on rearranging my living room furniture. There's something therapeutic for me about rearranging and reconfiguring the space I'm in. It makes it feel new again. Over the years I've begun to see a pattern in feeling anxious or stressed about life and the timing of my rearranging/redecorating my space. I think it's a way for me to let go of the old and step into something new...

I've also been on a quest to simplify and downsize for the last year or so. I'm hoping to do one last purge of 2016 before the new year arrives this weekend. Have a happy and safe New Years, friends!!
