You’ve done it—you’ve walked through desire, faced truth with acceptance, and fought the battle with willpower.
Now, something beautiful begins to stir: renewal.
The spaces you’ve touched look lighter. The corners you once avoided now breathe easier.
And deep inside, you sense it too—this isn’t just about decluttering your home. It’s about rediscovering you.
⸻
✨ This Week’s Action
Revisit a space you’ve decluttered and add one joyful touch: a plant, a waterless diffuser, a bowl of fresh fruit, or simply a deep breath of gratitude.
🙏 Prayer
“Lord, thank you for new beginnings. Teach me to live light, free, and open to renewal.”
🎨 Coloring Break
This week, coloring isn’t about escaping a villain—it’s about celebrating your victory. Pull out your coloring sheet and let it be your banner of joy.
⸻
The Villain’s Last Whisper
Doubt may try to sneak in one final time. You may hear:
“It won’t last. The clutter will come back.”
But you smile. Because you know the truth. Even if clutter tries to return, you now have the strength to begin again. That’s your superpower.

September Resources and Tips
By now, you’ve started small and faced the truth. But this week, the journey changes.
The thrill of starting has worn off. Your energy dips. And into the quiet creeps a sharp new voice—Perfection.
She folds her arms, tilts her head, and sneers:
“If you can’t do it all at once, why even try? If it’s not spotless, it’s not worth it.”
This is the Battle of Willpower.
And your job isn’t to conquer everything. It’s to keep showing up.
✨ This Week’s Action
Pick one category—clothes, mugs, or papers—and stick with it until you finish. One small battlefield at a time.
🙏 Prayer
“Lord, give me strength to keep going, even when progress feels slow. Remind me that faithfulness, not perfection, is my victory.”
🎨 Coloring Break
When Perfection hisses too loudly, step away. Color for a few minutes. Then come back with fresh strength.
Scene One: Perfection the Villain
You pull a pile of clothes from the closet. At first, you’re steady. Toss. Fold. Donate.
But then Perfection leans in, her voice sharp:
“You’ll never get through it all. Look at the mess you’ve made. It’s not good enough.”
For a moment, you falter.
But then you reach for your Thieves Household Cleaner. a plant-based oil-infused dust slayer, spray the empty shelf, and smile at the fresh scent. One space done is still a victory.
Perfection scowls. You’ve won this round.
Scene Two: The Steady March
The pile feels endless, but you remind yourself: marathons are not sprints.
You don’t need to finish everything today. You just need to take the next step.
And as each item finds its place, your willpower grows stronger—like a muscle built one rep at a time.
🎁 Weekly Giveaway Challenge!
Show me your “Battle of Willpower” progress—share a before + after photo of your chosen category—and you’ll be entered to win a Thieves Sample Bundle. Because steady steps deserve steady support. 🌱

Next Chapter Teaser: Next week, we celebrate The Joy of Renewal—where doubt tries one last time to steal your victory, but you know the secret: you can always begin again.
Don’t forget to celebrate your rewards by submitting before and after photos. We are cheering you on!!
You’ve taken your first brave step—one drawer, one shelf, one little corner. Week 1 is done. You’ve proven you can begin. But now it’s time to walk deeper into your space, and into your heart.
You move slowly from room to room. The closets, the piles, the stacks of papers. Some spots whisper, others shout. This week isn’t about cleaning them all. It’s about looking honestly, without turning away.
This is the Mirror of Truth. And let me share, if you saw my space, you would know exactly why I started this journey with you.
✨ This Week’s Action
Walk through your home with open eyes. Snap a photo of one space you’re ready to face—just as it is. That photo becomes your “before.”
🙏 Prayer
“Lord, help me see my space clearly and accept the truth with humility and hope.”
🎨 Coloring Break
When honesty feels heavy, pause and color. Let the page remind you—truth can be faced with joy, too.
Now, let’s have some fun, what is your favorite ending.
Ending One: Denial, the Villain
As you raise your phone to take a picture, a shadowy figure slips into the room.
It’s name is Denial.
She loops her arm around you, her voice syrupy sweet:
“Oh, it’s not that bad. You’ve seen worse. Besides, who has time for all this?”
(She and I are besties, that ends this week)
You feel the tug of her words, but then your hand brushes against your bottle of Thieves Cleaner on the counter.
You smile. You’re not alone in this battle.
With courage, you lift your camera—click.
Denial huffs and fades back into the shadows. The truth is out in the open now, and you are stronger for it.
(Whew!!! We Did That)
Ending Two: A Gentle Encouragement
You feel the weight of the clutter pressing in, but then you breathe deeply.
Support surrounds you—friends who cheer you on, the quiet strength of prayer, even the fresh, grounding scent of Thieves Cleaner waiting on the counter like a trusted ally. (I’m cheering you on!)
You whisper to yourself: “This is just a beginning. And beginnings are beautiful.”
You snap the photo—click. A new chapter is unfolding, and you are not afraid. (We can do hard things!)
Congratulations Ms. Earline, she is our week 1 winner!!!
