A love letter to CHaRM Here’s what I packed in my car on a recent Saturday morning: 17 cans of paint, 8 propane canisters, 2 old iPads, a Medusa tangle of electrical cords, and a bag stuffed so full with bags it had to sit buckled into the passenger’s seat. “Can you take this too?” my wife asked, thrusting some ki...

With the KonMari Method®, the second category we tackle is books. I really enjoy helping people declutter books because I personally love books so much!

I’m a KonMari organizer and I own 1,000+ books

The KonMari Method® has a specific order in which we declutter our items; the first category is always clothing. This isn't an arbitrary starting point - there are actually very good reasons why we tackle this category first! Why do we start with clothing? The somewhat glib answer is because clothing tends to be an easy category to start with. However, there's a lot more to that statement than is obvious on the surface!...

It Starts With Clothing Clothing is the first category we declutter. It's not an arbitrary starting point; there are actually good reasons we tackle this first!

| Jazz at Lincoln Center

April is , and one of my favorite educational resources is Jazz at Lincoln Center. They are amazing at highlighting jazz greats as well as new artists to watch. They have a phenomenal space in New York City (if you're looking for a fun evening show, be sure to check out Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola!), and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, led by the phenomenal Wynton Marsalis is a can't miss show every time they are in Atlanta. Their album "The Abyssinian Mass" is a deeply spiritual piece of music for me. If you're looking to add a little jazz to your life, give them a follow!⁠

| Homemade Popcorn 🍿

I don't know about you, but I LOVE popcorn. So much that sometimes I make a meal out of popcorn - nothing else needed, just some butter and salt. My favorite way to make popcorn is Alton Brown's method - using a stainless steel bowl on the stovetop (though now he's making it with ghee, and I'm still making it with good ole peanut oil 🥜). This has been a go-to method for me for years, and it is sooooo far superior to anything you'd make in the microwave. Plus, you just use a metal bowl - no special equipment required!

What snack is sparking joy for you this week?
