I remember the joy and excitement I felt after putting the finishing touches to The Daily Pagerie website. It’s bittersweet because I’ve always wanted to have an online shop. I loved the idea of waking up each morning to sell stationery, school supplies, secondhand books, and other items to folks who loved the same things…

I can’t count the number of times I’ve used these two words on initiatives to empty out the junk in my life. 🗑 I feel I’m going to be decluttering for the rest of my existence. It’s really how excessive or “accidental” we can be with the things we buy. For example, I’ve books 3…
