I’m sitting in the large espresso colored leather chair that I’ve had in my living room for at least 15 years.
It’s scruffy now. I love my living room. I love the colors and all the rugs and “object as art” pieces my husband, Chiddi, has in here. I feel so happy and like my life has been a beautiful success when I look around.
The clutter of course is an always issue. But I have also felt so much joy.
Thank goodness I’ve also been able to tolerate wading around in the muck of things. Because to have a big, full life, you have to be willing to go through a few things.
That’s where the idea of JoyBoots comes from. Get it? In life, there is ”Joy” but you also have to willing to put your boots on and get them boots on the ground.
It felt so nice to be share uninhibitedly last week and to hear how not alone I am.
It helps to remember that “not being ok” is not a moral failing. In fact, our very discomfort with how things are is an important signal.
Like it or not, we are in it together.
