40 Day Clutter Challenge – Begin Your Journey To Peace
Begin your journey to peace with our 40 Day Clutter Challenge. Do not let clutter rob you of joy, time, energy, and peace.
Begin Your Journey To Peace
Many folks around the world, including myself, will be observing Lent for 40 days beginning tomorrow on Ash Wednesday. This is a time to look at yourself in the mirror and think, do I like what I see. What changes do I need to make to be a better person, spouse, volunteer, teacher, mother, daughter? How can I serve God in a more thoughtful and authentic way?
Clutter Robs Us of Time and Energy
I understand that many people may not be Christian that read here, but we all have clutter. Clutter robs us of time and energy. That is energy that we could devote to working on our own personal well-being and our relationships with our family and other loved ones as well as colleagues and our work.

Other things we lose with too much stuff.
- Our space
- Our money
- Our peace
- Our organization
- Our efficiency
For the next 40 days we will share one assignment per day to take back some our peace, time, efficiency, energy and by doing so we can save money and become more organized. Note- we will have Sunday off. 🙂
- We can save money by not buying duplicates of items we already own. ( I am so guilty of this, especially during the holidays)
- We can be more organized because less stuff is always easier to organize than more stuff.
Don’t let clutter rob you of peace and energy. Join us!
I will see tomorrow, for the first challenge.
Peace, joy, and popcorn,
Pam

I will be joining you! I began an annual Facebook hiatus for Lent two years ago. I will be combining your 40 Day Clutter Challnege as well as the 40 Bags in 40 Days Challenge this year! I hope to find a path closer to our Father and a much happier, healthier home along the way. Always nice to know we don’t journey alone!
Happy for you to join in. I am looking forward to a tidier home and lighter heart, closer to the Father.
