Compound Grief
I thought I created a new term, but then I googled it and learned it’s already an established thing: Compound Grief. I wasn’t surprised the term already exists. Grief is a feeling as old as humanity. I’m not going to quote you from the interwebs, I’m going to tell you what Compound Grief means to […]
Week 9 – Bedroom #3+ {91 Day Declutter Challenge}
This week is like a repeat of last week, unless you have more than 3 bedrooms. If you’re doing more than one room this week, I suggest sticking to the specified task and do more rooms simultaneously. If that is the case for you, you may need to set aside more time this week. This […]
