First time I’ve ever been inspired to do a water tasting at an Open House. This Aspenwood home in Woodinville is full of inspiration, so many wonderful possibilties. Listed by Beth Kovacevich

Haven Cafe in Lynnwood, right by Edmonds College, is a great spot for meetings or getting work done. The space is open and modern with plenty of seating, plus a really solid selection of coffee, pastries, and drinks, including gluten-free options. There’s also a free parking garage, which makes it super easy to stop by and stay awhile.

One of my favorite decluttering mindset shifts is remembering everything has a cost. Instead of just thinking about the external cost or price tags, I’ve found it helpful to remind myself to remember the emotionial, mental, and physical cost of keeping things we no longer need but feel we need to keep because they’re still good. But you know what’s even better than still good? Your peace. Your comfort is priceless and only you can choose what that means keeping and releasing. Sometimes it’s about having another person ask the right questions and really listen to speak back to ourselves what we already know, but can be too busy managing all of life’s things to notice. If you found this helpful I’d love to hear what you’re letting go of next.
