As I mentioned last week, I’m planning to share my weekly goals here each week. These goals are based (somewhat) on my yearly goals for 2021, with some extras thrown in depending upon the week and what other short-term goals I have.
I’ve been working on doing a Whole House Clean Out right now. This is something I usually do at the beginning of the year and it’s so great to start the year with all of the closets and cupboards and shelves decluttered and organized. Plus, I’ve found that if I do a really thorough job of it, it mostly stays pretty well for the majority of the year — and then it’s not too hard to do again the next year!
I’m always surprised at how much I find to get rid of, though! 
One of the things I’ve been enjoying is an afternoon ritual of a cup of tea and some kind of treat. It slows me down and it reminds me to savor the beauty of the life right in front of me. Over the years, I’ve established a number of different rituals throughout the day — most that I do without even thinking much about them — but they serve me so well + just make life more enjoyable and orderly!
Now, on to this week’s list of goals:
