Quotes to ponder:

"You're not truly decluttering if you go out to buy more. The 'shop-to-declutter-to-shop' cycle isn't minimalism. It's consumerism."

"When you struggle with a shopping disorder, life is a constant battle between the compulsion to acquire something new and the desire to have a home you can manage with ease."

"Gratitude for the good things in your life gives you a sense of fullness and peace every day."
