Survey #234 Response from Ria

| Express your gratitude for something in your home that you plan to keep indefinitely. How does it support the life you love? | My china. I got rid of several large sets of everyday and china dishes and splurged on a six place setting set of white china. Retired now, I expect this to last the rest of my life. It supports my life because it’s a smaller set and classic style. |
| Describe someone or something that has helped you on your decluttering and organizing journey. This may be an idea, a story, a person, a book, a resource, etc. | All the clutter resources in YouTube and podcast formats. Listening reinforces what my goal is, gives me ideas and spurs me on while I tackle an area. I also like Joshua Becket’s books and videos, although I’m not truly minimalist. His approach is positive and always gets me nodding and thinking. |
| Describe something that you’re grateful for having been able to declutter and release from your life. | My Western saddle, which was practically new but I kept far longer than I should have due to spending so much on it. It was a large piece but also berated me every time I past it. |
| Identify something in your space for which you feel grateful, but which you’d consider releasing so that someone else can enjoy and appreciate it. | Some of my precious wool sweaters. It’s cold here in Chicago and I love them but do have many more than I need. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Do either of you have a “why do I still have this” declutter you’ve released in the past six months? |
| Future topics | What about an episode that shares the compiled tips of your followers? This would take some time to solicit and assemble but might be useful and motivating for us— and a different approach. I envision the two of you reading the submissions to keep the flow moving quickly. |
