She won’t tell you how to organize or be a minimalist. Instead, she’ll offer tips to lighten your load and give clarity. It’s about whether to keep your great aunt’s blue vase, your son’s baby teeth, or grandma’s chipped china. This insight will
help you keep what you truly love and release that which binds you.

It can teach us a lot about how tiny living can be a major part of the solution to America’s disease of isolation.
