Frustration creeps in.

Two months ago, I quit my job of six years, sold or donated everything I owned that wouldn't fit into my car, and drove that car from Los Angeles to Nashville to give myself a break. So now I'm staying in the guest bedroom of a dear friend of mines house here in Tennessee. The thing is I don't know what else to declutter!! I'm decluttered out!! I feel like I recently decluttered my life soooo much that there isn't much left. So everyday to be reading about decluttering is getting frustrating for me. I know part of this frustration has to do with the fact that I've been bedridden with the flu for the past two days. Just starting to feel better today, so thanks for all the wishes for a speedy recovery. I spoke to my dear friend, Katie, today who is also a fellow Soul Coaching journeyer and she set me right again. So thankful for her friendship...the kind I wish I could wrap up in a beautiful box and gift to others. She really is that great.
I did really enjoy today's affirmation, which seems to be helping me heal a bit faster:

"Fresh, invigorating energy fills my life"

Speaking of AIR, tomorrow I'll be flying in it! On my way to Michigan to visit my Mom for the weekend. I hope to keep up my blogging while I'm there....

Hope to get to read more of your posts today, it's always so great to hear what you all are going through. You are a bunch of very wise women. I'm glad to be with you on this Soul Coaching journey.

I can understand your frustration, Kelly. I have mostly de-cluttered my environment. I'm working on the inner clutter, as I am sure, are all of us. This is the process. :)

One thing I have to say. I admire your bravery! Not many people can leave the safety of their established lives and go forth into the unknown! How absolutely spectacular! :)

I think we are all frustrated on some level. Part of the process I think.

Like Genie Sea said, I just popped in here to say Yeah! Brave! You are amazing. I love that you let go of everything and flew.

So don't be frustrated, just remember you are ahead of the rest of us! Rest on your laurels while you can, the book can't be having us declutter for 28 days (tho some of us probably could...)

The de-cluttering thing is something, for me that will take so much more time than this 28 days allows, so I do what I can and then let that go and focus on the element we are in. Air. I get out in it, breath it, feel it. That is part of this week, too and it really helps me a lot. Thank you for your candor in how this is affecting you.
Safe journey to you over the weekend (and side note, we only live 1 hour or so from each other--I live between Nashville and Chattanooga, cool huh?)

One of my favourite parts of today was actually a part I almost missed doing at all - noticing what I have that brings my energy up. I hope all the things you have in your life are bringing you joy :)

It is hard when life throws a monkey wrench into our life plans isn't it? I think it's amazing you just picked up and took off, I love that! I hope you pull and inspirational card from your deck!

You are much more than any of your things! When I am frustrated, sometimes is is caused by my own resistance my own fear of looking at what is right in front of me. I want to ask you if you are avoiding yourself?
