Think-Back-On-It Thursday #8 - Decluttering

Now that I've written 495 posts for Maximum Gratitude, Minimal Stuff, I'm in the process of revising my older writing. And some of those older posts are quite useful.


But many of you are newer readers and have never seen posts that were written in 2018, 2019, or even last summer or fall. And if you've been a faithful reader for quite a while (thank you), you've probably forgotten. I wrote the stuff, and I've forgotten parts of it!


It's worth visiting what we've written, read, or thought before, as both a reminder and for new insights. So on selected Thursdays, instead of posting new content, I'm going to direct you toward posts of the past that I think are worth a re-read.

  • how to let your closet inspire you
  • how less is more when it comes to creating your personal style
  • how three words can help you define your preferences
  • how a signature outfit might increase your peace, poise, and productivity

... and more!  The 3rd edition of my best-selling book (packed with 7 additional chapters and 40 pages of new content) can be your guide to a wardrobe that passes the "feel good test" and lets you wear your favorite things every day. 


The release date for both the Kindle and the paperback editions is July 1.
