Gioia Decluttering News

What a month of May I had – it included travel, inspirational learning, and soul food friendships! My trip to the States was fabulous. The workshop in Dallas was on the teachings of Abraham [which I quoted in last month’s newsletter] and was amazing. The three day conference in San Diego was hosted by Hay House so for those of you who know such wonderful authors as Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, Louise Hay, and many others, I can only say it was wonderfully worth the distance traveled to hear them all in person. And to complete this joyous month – last weekend I travelled to my friend’s lovely wedding in Queenstown.

I’d miss the gorgeous bright colours of Autumn, the warm cosiness of rugging up in Winter, the fresh beginnings and delight of Spring, and the lushness and vibrancy of Summer.

And of course, it’s also fun starting to bring out my warmer clothes and planning what I might add to my wardrobe this season. Oh, the bliss of shopping! However, and here’s a tip for the shoppers among you – when you’re buying anything new, think about what you have at home that you can discard or give away. If you follow this guideline you’ll find you can easily maintain order whether it be in your wardrobe, or in your cupboards.

As I have been busy scheduling appointments for March, I find it hard to believe that we are already at the end of February. Everyone is back at work, feet under the desk, and busy with the day to day activities of their lives.

Were you inspired to declutter any areas of your home, office or life over the last month or two? Taking it one step, or one area at a time makes it all much more doable and you’ll love the results.

Tip of the month – clear your desktop!

I’m a firm believer in having a clear working desktop and it’s equally important to have a nice uncluttered space on your computer Desktop. [Read more…]

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year, and that you managed to have a restful break. The weather was kind to us [at least those of us in the North Island] and I loved taking time out to relax with a few good books, catch up with friends and family, and spruce up my garden. And yes, I even decluttered my own home.
