Taking a little break from the C-panic here in Europe. Thank you for some normal problems...👍😃
So weird I'm in my work from home office now feeling over whelmed lol I literally cleaned up the rest of house sat in here and was like let me pray with Dawn this Sunday
You have no idea how motivating this video was for me. I had 2 little things I was putting off all week, I paused your video and completed them in 8 minutes! 🤦♀️ I love your videos. Thank you so much!
Any ideas for this. Seems like every time you turn around someone wants you to sign up for something, and you need to come up with a password. I thought I would remember.(that doesn't work.😄) Then I typed it in my phone. Hard to remember between my phones(personal/business) and husband's with the same. Then I started writing it down. First, in notepads, then in sticky notes. I have sticky notes Everywhere! Help! 😃😃😃
@@Michelle-ke7me My husband and I share a small phone book where we record our separate passwords. It's great that it has alphabetized tabs to keep them organized. And if, God forbid, something happens to one of us, the other will know where to find our passwords. I'm sure there are books created just for passwords, but I like that it says Addresses on the front so it doesn't announce to others what we do with it. 😉
A couple friends and I had a yard sale yesterday. When we were done, we boxed everything up, set it outside my garage, took a picture and posted it for free on Facebook. Four hours later it was gone. It was such a relief.
We did that once and a couple of guys drove up with a big truck right away and took everything. We felt that same sense of relief!
JoAnn Birdsong we recently took some plywood that was taking up too much room in our shed and we weren’t going to use and put it out front with a free sign on it. A few days later we got a note from our mail carrier that he would take it after work. We were sooo happy.
Bravo! 🤗
Julie it’s wonderful!,you get to declutter and someone else gets something for free
Eileen Lester thanks!
Whating while I drink my morning coffee. Just wanted to say...I love you ladies so so much. You are a breathe of fresh air. 🥰
💛
Amen to that!
I love 💘Diana Worship & Prayers
Dear Diana, I was especially touched at seeing your binders. It feels the same for me, as we are moving and I recently addressed the more than 30 big binders filled with my lecture notes from medical school 1994-1998. They have traveled with me lodged on bookshelves gathering dust through the years. As I was preparing to recycle them (almost couldn't wheel the bin to the curb, it was so heavy and full), it struck me intensely that it wasn't about the notes nor the intake of knowledge - it was about the over 20 years since in which I have had the privilege of caring for hundreds to thousands of patients based on that knowledge that transferred into my mind, and heart, and a bit of it lives on in health for anyone I may have humbly treated. It is the same for you, I think - your students who took your classes carry the faith and wisdom you shared. The binders are special, in that form especially, and they are safe to let go of. Their message has been delivered. Blessings to you!
Their message has been delivered. Nicely put!
I also had a hard time letting go of my teacher binders when I retired, but I'm glad now that I did.
Thank you for the inspiration. I have my college notebooks along with 30 years of teaching materials in the basement. (not all, I have managed to part with some ). Maybe it’s time to let them go!! Thank you again!
Yesterday I gathered 2 bags of clothes to throw out and 1 bag for the Salvation Army. I also reduced my sheets/pillowcases by half. I keep remembering your words, reduce your inventory. That makes so much sense to me. I am not finished, but the ball is rolling. Many thanks.
Your shouldn’t throw out clothes that aren’t worth donating. Many thrift shops will recycle them!.. otherwise if you google it, my town at least has textile recycle boxes all over town
I had two fitted sheets rip a big tear in them. Don’t know how that happened but now got rid of those sheets and made room in the cupboard. There wasn’t any point to patch them up so that helped in decluttering
Cr W true do not throw out clothes. Some thrift stores have more powerful cleaning agents that get the stains out then we could at home. But at least it is donated then they can sort out and deal with clothing. If you just throw clothes out they go to landfill and sit there
It depends on your store. I used to donate jeans and such that could have been used for quilt fabric but when I started volunteering there I quickly learned that they just pitch such things anyway. They just don't have the space or resources to deal with such inventory so I'm back to throwing it away.
Paula Boynton we have boxes waiting to go to the Goodwill and will feel so good when they are donated!
As a teacher with students returning tomorrow, my decluttered house, car and classroom are they ONLY things keeping me sane at the moment. Thank you for the inspiration and the prayers.
I have been spending a lot more time outdoors these last 6 months and it has become a true joy for me as well.
That looks like one of those tricky rooms to declutter, but I love that you can stop and take care of some of the items right now. Also always love the spiritual guidance at the end of the Sonday/Sunday videos!
Thank you Diana for allowing us into your home! THIS is the reality of our homes! It's the "little stuff" we don't know how to deal with or where to start! THESE videos are SO very helpful, thank you!!
I love all your content! But I REALLY LOVE & look forward to these Sunday morning visits with you sharing about life & God! Thank you!! 💕💕💕 God Bless all of you!!
Amen.
I wanted to keep watching Diana work on her office/workout room?!
I cleared my kitchen counters yesterday of so much stuff, been on the minimalist journey for well over a year but still finding more I can clear. You have been such a huge inspiration to me ❣️ love from. Sinead in Ireland 🇮🇪
I use the touch it once method. If you pick it up don’t just move it somewhere else, put it away or deal with it completely.
Nature is his greatest gift to us and we easily forget to take it all in and enjoy it. Beautiful prayer for our nation and our leaders no matter anyone’s party affiliation. Ladies have an amazing and blessed week!
Overwhelmed! The thoughts associated with this emotion are paralyzing. I have been there so many times. Thank you for some “reality check” thoughts that can help us take the next step. You two are blessings in my day🤗
I just want to encourage you, Dawn and Tom, that foster care is worth it all! It took my husband years to warm up to the idea as well, and finally he agreed to start classes last fall. We have 3 young bios (2-9) and just got our first placement 5 days ago. My husband is already attached to this precious 2 year old little girl and I’m sure Tom will be the same because of what a great dad his. I’m proud that you are using your platform to spread awareness and show the process. The need is SO great.❤️
I'm not really religious and I don't belive in a god . I started listening to the book you're referring to and I love it so much. It helps in a lot of ways in your daily life even if you're not religious! Love from Germany
Your Sunday videos are always such a blessing and encouragement! Thank you for all the work and thought you put into creating these high quality videos for us. I look forward to them every time! ❤️
I would have loved to see the entire decluttering of the room. I can relate to not knowing where to put things.
I just told my husband this is the church I enjoy going to - watching your videos on Sunday mornings. Thank you! What a good way to start the day.
Thank you both so much! I really needed this today before I start my second week at work with reduced hours and pay, after thinking we had made it through the hardest part. As a 57 year old wife and mother, with a son who is sophomore in high school and a college daughter at home, this was a punch in the gut. This has helped me remember where my focus should be! God bless you both!
Also, can you do more talking through decluttering decisions type videos? I found the talk through the office helpful:-)
You might want to check out Dana K White (also on UA-cam) - she does a lot of this method of decluttering.
I truly look forward to your prayer every Sunday. It makes me feel safe. Thank you ladies!!
Good morning, Ladies! I absolutely love your Sunday morning videos and the opportunity to pray and believe together for our families and our country. Have a blessed week!😘
You guys are so cute together and I love the fact you talk about the Lord and His Creations ❤️🙏 as a Christian and His follower, it is refreshing!
You two are adorable when you laugh back and forth!.... It's the same laugh!
Dawn, when you were talking about God’s consistency and how He knows-That really hit deep. so true and wonderful!
Dawn I love how you get tearful when you speak with passion about the things that move you. I don't have a faith but its lovely to see you express yours :-)
Yes, I have learned to see the beauty and appreciate the heart of people who show passion and love. I love seeing people living from the heart even if I disagree with their beliefs
I inherited my Mum’s photos. I went through them all as she had been on many bus tour holidays. I discarded any photo that didn’t show any faces I recognised, scenery pictures. Photos that were from her work, I put all together and took them to her work colleagues and asked if they would like them.
I needed this today!! Setting my timer AND guarding my heart!! This verse needs to go in our classroom too! Prov 4:23
There are always a few tears when I listen to your Sunday message. Thank you for being in tune with the Spirit of Christ.
I love the way Dianna smiles at dawn. So beautiful. Dawn smiles too but she is talking more of the time as its her channel. But love the way she smiles as she listens to her. She has a beautiful smile
Seeing you two just make me smile, I can just forget what I should be doing.
I loved that you tackled writing a thank you card. I would have put it off. I was bothered by the throwing away of the music cds, I would have donated them. Too much trash in our landfills! I appreciate all your videos!
Thrift stores get over run by excess Dvds CDS and VHS which are becoming obsolete and not many people want
Me too. People use them for crafting.
@@jdewitt2531 I do.😄 Everytime I go,(went by today ask about donating) and saw 2 people looking at the CD's.
I hear you, but it was headed for a landfill anyways at some point.
Our thrift stores in town: some don't take magazines, some don't take t'vs...some won't take books anymore... some don't take clothes....at some point, after we have done all we could to reduce/re-use/recycle...it just has to 'go'....
I can't express to you how much I look forward to your Sunday chats!!! You are a spiritual lifeline! You have no idea how many times your messages have been exactly what I need to hear! I go for a walk every morning (honestly, mostly because I have a dog), and I watched today's video right before heading out. So perfect! Love you both! 💕
LOL! Love the possible decluttering response of others to letting go of the binders in perfect twin harmony “No”! I thank our Lord for the Blessing of you, Diana and Dawn.❤️
Love your Sunday videos. Thanks for the clean up tips and for the thoughtful prayers. I took a short video outside my front yard to see all the flowers still blooming and our bird sanctuary full of life. Being outside helps with all the inside we have to be in :) Thanks for sharing !!
Thank you for such a wonderful prayer at the end, I needed that. Having little ones, your heart worries about the future but what you said about the corn growing still... indeed, God already knows. And that's very comforting. So thank you. Smiling through my tears right now.
Remember that Kohl’s can take that Amazon return. Maybe you have one nearby? That would save you creating the return label & stopping at UPS facility.
whole foods takes Amazon returns now as well! 😁
Yes - I have used the Amazon return at my local Kohl’s store. So convenient!
Oh! Didn't realize that. Thanks! Luckily for me. I haven't had to return.
What?!?! This is amazing news. Thank you for sharing. I have a return right now that I was dreading driving 40 minutes to a UPS store.
@@michelleprice5945 Really??? Thanks! Didn't know that either. Love people helping people. 🤗😊
Love these Sunday videos. Thank you for making them.
Such a blessing... thank you gals so much for the decluttering encouragement and the spiritual messages.
Your prayers are right on time. Thank and Bless you!🙏🏿
The best is yet to come! 💛 Thank you for the reminder 💛
The transparency in this video is awesome! I don't know about others, but I feel this way SO OFTEN and there are so many UA-cam videos that make the process sound like a walk in the park...and it just is not always that easy. Thanks for sharing this kind of video. Loved it so much.
Love your group everyone's so generous with advice
I love the Sunday videos with Dianna. ❤️
I spent the last hour down in my laundry room. The bag I took down with me is now full of donations culled while I folded - extra towels, clothing, bed linens, bathroom mat etc. are being delivered to the thrift store today along with another full bag. Less to manage as you say! Getting started is key. Using a mechanical timer is so helpful as well. I took the time to clean the kitty litter- my least favourite chore- done! Thank you for providing motivation and a system that actually works. 👍🏻♥️🙏🏻
What a blessing you girls are! Thank you for your ministry of HOPE!
Happy Sunday. Good job letting go!!!!!! Such a wonderful way to begin my day!!!! Nature is my resting place.
Thank you for sharing your cleaning journey with us.
love this video....especially the end where Dawn was talking about nature...nature is the one thing that constantly changes daily and, yet, is consistently there for us year in and year out. It reminds me when I spend more time in it that HE is always there and will be no matter who else is in charge in our country/state/city etc. and HE is the one really in charge.
This one hit me in the feels today ☺️thank you 💗 I look forward to my cup of coffee on Sunday mornings watching you two 🙏🏽 you are stones among the sand and I’m grateful for your strength expressing your faith ✝️
You two are amazing. I’ve just found your channel recently. I love how you combine tips for simplifying and minimizing along with the word of God and prayer. We all need that hope and extra encouragement so much during these times. Thank you so much for that. May the Lord bless you and your families as well, too!!
It's so amazingly comforting to witness Diana's feeling of being overwhelmed because I have been there so many times and it's such an awful combination of feelings!!
Thank you both SO much for these videos, they are truly empowering!! 💛💛
I feel blessed to have found your channel, as when I need encouragement, I always find the right message at the right time.. as I have a lot of paper courses I did, I have in digital version but I struggle since years to let it go.. thank you for all the encouragement that both are spreading offering around 🙏🌟
Thank you for doing this every week. I have minimal mom on in the background while I clean and it's so nice so heat a prayer start and I immediately stop what I'm doing to pray as well. Such a wonderful addition to my day
Thank you Ladies for your perspective. You are so encouraging and a blessing to me💞
I look forward to all your videos, especially these Sunday morning blessings! I am grateful for your inspiration and motivation. Thank you so much.
You too are so sweet. You just make me smile!! Thank you for this one!! ☺️
Thank you for all the good reminders
Hi Dawn, I just wanted to say I just love how both of you are doing this together because all by yourself it could be a one big daunting task..and I love your smiles/positivity and laughter..good job..keep it up..
This was probably one of the most revelant vids I have seen. I have the same issues. Thx so much ! Had my coffee. Gonna do 5 minutes of my junk room. Soon to be new bedroom. I havent been watching my you tube channels. Really missed you and Diane in Denmark. Thx for positivity. LOVE how you spoke about God being consistant regardless of the state of the world. And the prayer. REALLY lifted me up today❤
Thank you both. You have such a calming effect on me. I am always happier more at peace after your Sunday video.
I so love all your videos but especially Sunday! I get some practical and spiritual guidance. So blessed!
Amen!! Thank you for that beautiful prayer! God bless you both for encouraging us during these stressful times.XOXO
I want you two ladies to know how much I appreciate your Sunday videos and prayer. Thank you and God bless!
Thank you both.
Thank you ladies for your encouraging videos!! ❤️
I enjoy watching or just listening if I’m busy. I rewatch over and over and continue to learn.
Always a blessing!! 💗💗💗
Your channel is such a blessing to me. Thanks for everything.
You two ladies are a gift!! Thank you so much!
I woke up a little earlier than usual today and sat down to watch your videos and catch up on the last few months since I started homeschooling and working and haven't had any time to watch them. I still need to watch a few more but alas my time is up. I just want to thank you ladies for your Sunday videos, they are so inspiring and always help bring me closer to God, which is something that I'm not very mindful about all the time, when life is chaotic He is the one consistent thing that's always there, and I do need to be reminded sometimes of his presence, that he is always beside us especially in our darkest times. Thank you Dawn and Diana, you ladies are a true blessing in so many lives, you have no idea.
Love when yall do videos together and end it with a little devotional!
I watch you gals as I'm decluttering my rooms. Thanks for all the inspiration.
I always feel encouraged by your videos but especially by the Sunday videos.
Thank you for providing a real life experience and the “why” thought behind each one. I’m sure I’ll watch this again and again.
I am slowly getting my house in order, thanks to your videos! How refreshing the end of this video , as you and your sister put things in perspective. And thank you for leading us in prayer! May God bless you guys!❤️
I so much love and appreciate you both!! Know that you are making a difference!!
Amen! Love you ladies and all your advice! I started my declutter about 6 weeks ago and see a huge difference already. So glad I found you.
What a BEAUTIFUL prayer!! Thank you so much, and God Bless you all!!
I’ve been in the group since the beginning. It’s been the Best Investment , not to mention how my home is actually more peaceful, manageable ...I love all the support from the members also 💕 (Thanks for reminding me, I have a return, I’ll hop to that now 😂 )
Love your Sunday Inspirations....💕
You are so good at this! Watching you make decisions and taking action is powerful inspiration and information. I also appreciate your reminder to focus on things you can control. Thank you!🙏
I love Diana's prayers, they are so helpful and help keep focus on what's important. Thank you!
you girls are so sweet. Love your Sunday conversations.Such wisdom.
Uggh I watch you daily and missed cut off for membership group. On waiting list. One thing stood true to me Your intellect is not defined by the books, curriculums, papers we have! Thank you for sharing your faith I so need to share that with someone even if it is just on screen.
Just loving the video today. Perfect mix of real life decluttering struggle and progress plus spiritual real life encouragement.
I loved this! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and especially the WORD! God bless you all!
Love the authenticity of this!
Thank you both for all you do. May God bless and keep you
I love the prayers as well as the tips. Thank you.
Dawn is so right in dealing with the thank you card right then. It seems so counter-intuitive to stop what you are doing and deal with it at that moment, but when you look at the bigger picture it makes so much sense. I would have never in a million years though to deal with things this way, I see how that small shift in perspective will make a huge difference over all! Happy Sunday to you both.
I am really struggling but your words gave me hope and peace - blessings to you all xxx
Thank you for the prayer, it was so beautiful.
Amen 🙏.. God bless y'all ladies.
I LOVE that you share your faith - because really, we all do wether we know it or not! You are sharing your treasure e and motivation for everything else. Thank you!
The timing on this was perfect, I really need to spend time today 'fully dealing' with a few things in my office to really make the next level of progress.
Diana, your prayer brought tears to my eyes. The whole end of the video did actually. Thank you both Dawn and Diana for what you are doing and encouraging us all through.
You can tell when The Lord does things, because they really succeed, like this UA-cam channel and now little community!!!
You both rock and thank you!!!!
loved the thoughts you shared at the end. Thank you for the positive uplifting video!
THIS WAS SO USEFUL!! Thank you Diana for being the vulnerable project. It was ssooooo helpful to actually see Diana's emotion, body language and hesitation - I relate relate relate!! I actually took a slow approach to getting things done in my bedroom junk drawer.. Feels so good to have those to do 's moved to the "ta daa!" list. 🤗
