The Life Changing Magic of Taking What Works for you from a Text

mehekwrites2 Comments

I recently read (well, listened to) The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Mari Kondo.

There have even been NY Times think pieces about her new line of organizing items from Target, which talked about the hypocrisy of selling organizing bins when the book advocates for using basic shoe boxes to organize.

I like to commune with the concrete. My feet have slowly built up a fine layer of dead skin to protect them from the cracked acorn shells and dried leaves that have fallen. Cobblestone is the worst.
