A Clean Slate

I’m starting something new on Monday.

So I took the last week and completely cleaned the slate. I started the week by doing my normal end-of-year / start-of-year cleaning tasks. Next, I totally ripped up the office and physically rehabbed it. Rebuilt the fireplace, new floor, new paint, and some new lighting. It feels different. Finally, I cleaned out an emotional closet that had a few loose ends hanging from the curtain rod. 

A clean, totally refreshed inbox, bank account, and pantry; a totally refreshed room; and an emotionally stable state from which to get started.

If you’re starting something new, I recommend cleaning the slate before you do.
