| Express your gratitude for something in your home that you plan to keep indefinitely. How does it support the life you love? | - my minimalist bed - foam mat and wide multi-layer bedding - very comfy and very portable. - very large japanese bowl shaped bell - great tone - - six thick merino wool sweaters - they layer wonderfully - and keep me warm in the far northwest - two laptops, printer, scanner, Bose wired headphones - small fan for summer - Drive brand rollator - I can go anywhere and always have a seat to rest or a way to transport stuff (as I do not drive) - folds to 7 inches wide - Oyama stainless steel (iinside) rice/grain cooker |
| Describe someone or something that has helped you on your decluttering and organizing journey.

| Describe something that you’re grateful for having been able to declutter and release from your life. | - most recent thing for me is "the idea that I have to fix everything for everyone" |
| Identify something in your space for which you feel grateful, but which you’d consider releasing so that someone else can enjoy and appreciate it. | - a few books on philosophy (I don't have much excess at the moment) |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | - What are the mental blocks that you (Gayle) have encountered in your working with people and how have you helped them work throught them? |
