So I got my impromptu project done today!!! I got onto facebook to check what was up and a name showed up as having a birthday today. This friend was only a friend to help me indulge in an addiction over a year ago of social gaming on facebook. Today was my purge day - I unfriended all those people that were only there for game purposes. I deleted over 30 names and I feel so good. It is something that wasn't visible to anybody but me - but it is something that relieved a lot of emotional weight. Being the missionary for the 12 Step Addiction Recovery Program - I have learned a lot about addictions and triggers. I am finding some of my triggers for my various addictions and today I just axed one of them. It takes care of future relapses from their invites and I don't have to see them on facebook any longer to remind me of a past addiction that I want to leave in the past.
I realize this may be too much info, but I am glad I took one more step to clearing the clutter out of my life and now I can take one more step forward to seeing magic in the hopes of a better life and home and wanted to share it with someone. PS - if one is addicted to something that takes you away from everyday life, you end up with a messy house (especially if that person has a family of any size). I love the Magic is see as I participate in the Magic10!!!
I love that as I build new habits my thought patterns change and I find I do more than I initially started out to do. That is when I feel good - but hopefully in the upcoming days, weeks, months I will find some relief to help me with the my health also. Then watch out world - here comes a new person going full steam ahead to accomplishing a better life and a happier home!!!!

Week 4 Focus Area - Laundry Room
This weeks focus area really needed to be done. I put it off and put it off, just doing a little bit here and there to just say that I have worked on it. That is until my sweet family pulled out all the coats, gloves, hats, boots, etc and left them on the floor. Necessity claimed my time and required me to actually do something with this stuff instead of just shoving it back into the cubbies. So here are the Before and After pictures!!!
Still not as finished as I hoped, but a whole lot better!!!! Here's to keeping it looking this way :D
BEFORE!!!

Still not as finished as I hoped, but a whole lot better!!!! Here's to keeping it looking this way :D
