This week we want to know: Whats a Random object that brings you joy in your home?
Sara’s home is an assortment of odds and ends that each holds a story. On her bookshelf is a beaten up metal coin bank that looks like a mushroom with a bright red cap and hand painting on the base. It is easy to overlook it, and would mean very little to anyone other than Sara. But to her, it is a spark of joy every time she sees it.

The definition of clutter is not a one size fits all. Clutter beyond comfort to one is cozy to another. Take a step to identify where your level of clutter comfort is. Look at images, think of houses you have been to, and take inventory of spaces in your home.
- Which areas make you feel good?
- Which areas make you feel bogged down?
- Whatever your comfort level is, embrace it and honor it.
There is no one size fits all! And if you would like a safe place to explore this idea and talk with like minded people, check out the Joyful Support Village.
