Every spring and summer, I take some time to declutter and deep clean my house, because like many other people, ‘stuff’ always seems to find its way into my home. This annual decluttering ritual allows me to purge and discard all the unnecessary items that stealthily invade my space, making me feel as though I cannot think, breathe, or move. Did you know that our minds can also get cluttered? As we make our way through life, we are exposed to all kinds of situations, ideas and messages that can sometimes have lingering negative effects on our lives. It can interfere with our ability to thrive spiritually.

Recently, I watched a bunch of teenagers roller-skating at a skating park and was struck by the number of risks they took, as they looped and twirled and twisted and moved at breathtaking speeds. They appeared invincible. It reminded me of my youth, back when it seemed as though life would go on forever. Funny how wisdom and reality set in as one gets older.
