According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the definition of peace of mind is, “a feeling of being safe or protected.” This is not just a part of the tag line for SOS, you actually hear it a lot in advertising, especially from home security companies.

Ways That Clutter Steals Your Peace

Clutter is invasive and steals your peace. Much like weeds in your garden that grow over and around the plants that you love. Those weeds can strangle and kill your beloved plants.

A couple of years ago, I wrote an article on the subject of boundaries, called ‘Respect…Yours, Mine & Ours’. Here is a link to the article in case you missed it. The subject of the article was intended to help those living with one or more family members, to establish boundaries for storage & use of their belongings, as well as the others, out of respect for one another. By doing this, my hope was to establish a peaceful living environment for everyone in the home. The same thought process can be used to establish boundaries with people as well [...]
