- What a year 2023 has been!! We have decluttered so much in this house!! What has really changed was my mindset!! I was still holding onto attachments that I didn’t understand…but the more internal work I did, the more answers I received as to why I was hoarding! This is a reminder that you too can declutter, clean and let go!! 2024 is looking so bright and I am looking forward to Decluttering more in 2024!!

No one who does not live with compulsive hoarding disorder can know how overwhelming it is - 24/7- no days off. Ms Heart presents a cheerful, almost casual demeanor in her inspiring videos, but I know this has been an almost unimaginable struggle to do this. For the rest of us (people who do not live with complusive hoarding disorder) it might seen like "what's the big deal? just get rid of the stuff!" but for compulsive hoarders, they would often sooner be homeless, divorced, or even dead, than get rid of their stuff.
Worked at social services and saw people choose the hoard over being housed
That is very true my friend, that’s why we can’t just “throw it all away at one time!” Our nervous system couldn’t handle that, it be debilitating and could cause us to regress. Thank you for helping me humanize hoarding disorder 🩷🙏🏼🩷
Thank you. I'm a hoarder. I don't feel I was one as a child but now it has taken my liveliness away. I'm overwhelmed and don't know where to start. Nobody knows about it except my daughter because nobody ever gets invited in our home...
@@ChestyStClair One drawer, one surface, one corner, one box! Get rid of the trash and move anything you want to keep to a place where you know you will find it. You can do it xxx I'm going to do the same :)
ChestySt.Clair, you can do it! There’s another RUclips channel where a woman is cleaning out her hoarded home, one area at a time. She now has her living room completely decluttered, and another RUclipsr helped her with her kitchen. Think about which area annoys you the most, and work there. Wear a mask if the dust is too much. Chances are, getting that one area clean will motivate you to clean the next most annoying thing. Baby steps!
2023 is when the changes really started to show in your home. I think you’ve done an amazing job and I look forward every week to your insights and wisdom regarding hoarding. And seeing sweet Miss Pepper is the icing on the cake! 😻
Awe!! Your kind message made my heart so so happy!! Thank you so much my sweet friend 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟
Amazing progress in 2023. I think I speak for everyone following your journey, we are so proud of you! Looking forward to an amazing 2024. Be blessed!
Thank you so much my friend, that means so much to me 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟🦄💜🙏🏼🌟
I’ve never met you but I’m sure proud of your progress, honesty, and desire to help others through your own healing journey!!! Best of everything in 2024.
Thank you so much for your end of year review! You give me such hope! You have done a wonderful job and you should reach your right arm way, way, way around to your back and give yourself a giant pat! You have made such progress; you should be very, very proud!
Even Pepper is saying, "atta girl!"
People without this disorder have no clue how very much effort and angst is involved in the dehoard of this magnitude.
Thank you for your vulnerability and transparency.
For those of us who do not want to stay STUCK you give us hope and optimism.
Thank you for your sweet encouraging message, it made my heart so happy 🩷🩷 I’m so grateful you are my friend 🦄🌟🙏🏼
Miss Heart ❤️ what a fantastic review of 2023. You had another very successful year decluttering and Miss Pepper was there by your side, well done to ye both. You give me so much hope that I can do this too while reminding myself to go at my pace but to make it a habit too. Thanks for always being so honest, kind, thoughtful and generous. Wishing you all a happy, healthy and peaceful 2024. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏💪👍🙏💐❤️🐈🦄🎄🎆🎇
You absolutely can do this too, at the pace that is comfortable with you! You know I will cheer you every step of the way 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟🦄💜🙏🏼🌟 Happy Happy New Year my dearest friend, 2024 will be a good year for both of us 🩷🩷
WOW! Look at all your hard work over the year. Congratulations! You're doing GREAT!
Thank you so so much my friend 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼
I was so close on this year's mantra. I was thinking "Get rid of more in 2024". 😉 My husband and I did a lot of purging this year and it felt absolutely "freeing"! As a bonus we are parking our car IN the garage now. Lol
( A great thing to do in winter in the Midwest.) Thanks for sharing your journey! 🦄💜🩵🩷🤍💛
This was awesome! Plus I want to say that "Hoard no more in 2024" is a brilliant motivational saying to be going forth with! And I've been practicing what you learnt off I think it was Dana, about 'Don't put it down, put it away,' too and repeating it aloud to myself too to retrain myself not to dump stuff down. 😀
Yesssss!!! You got this!!! 2024 is your year, I just know it 🌟🌟🌟
That don’t put it down-Put it away Has been my mantra all year and has really changed my counters and tiny porch full of footwear. 🎉🎉🎉all the best in 2024
I am so proud of you❤ and SO THANKFUL for the impact you’ve made on others. I’ve always been drawn to decluttering but the minimalism blogs and channels were always so strict and lacking in compassion. Watching your journey, your positivity has inspired me to let go of the past and stop hoarding in order to feel safe in my life. Your approach is so self compassionate and nurturing , something we hoarders definitely need in our tool kit. Thank you🙏 here’s to a happy 2024 where we all continue to thrive and stop the hoarding!!
FEAR NO MORE IN 2024 🎉
Happy new year, Melanie!! God bless y’all
LOVE IT 🦄💜🌟🦄💜🌟
Happy New Year my friend 🎆
The amount of items you gave/threw away is astounding!!! I've been doing the same in my home but have more to do!! Thank you for inspiring and encouraging us to let go of trauma, clutter, false expectations, and shame. Hugs and love...
Oh I am sooooo Proud Of You!!! You are doing AMAZING 🤩🌟🤩🌟 Please know that I am cheering you on EVERY Declutter you do!!!
I don't have compulsive hoarding disorder, but I do have ADHD and it was so hard getting started on decluttering, but once I did it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. As a single mom, between work, homeschooling, and our fixer-upper home there was no way I could keep up with the house until I decluttered and simplified everything. It took a lot longer than I would have liked, but now my house is so easy to take care of and my kids also tell me they enjoy their minimal, easy-to-clean rooms. Thanks for your encouragement!
You've had a wonderful 2023 and documenting the progress and sharing it with us is so inspirational. Here's to a joyful 2024 and continued videos of decluttering!
Wow, you have come so far this year Miss Heart. Keep goong at your own pace. It ads up and your decluttering results are so amazingly impressive. Happy new year to you and your family. Monica
Happy Happy New Year my friend 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🎆 I know 2024 will be a good year for both of us!!!
You are so amazing and so brave to share your journey. I'm looking forward to watching you this next year!!
Thank you so much my friend 🙏🏼🩷 I hope you have a very Happy New Year’s 🥳💜🎉🌟
You are so inspiring! I can't wait to see what you do in 2024.
My goal in 2024 is to finish letting go of the items I inherited from my parents that I don't want or need to keep. I've been working on this slowly, but I hope to be able to finish next year. My home will feel so much better for it! 🎉
🪄🎉🥳❣️Very Happy 2024 New Year ❣️❣️🥳🎉🪄 I am bed ridden again, ❄️❄️☃️❄️❄️🌨🧣🧤🧣🧦🥾🧥 it is only 60°outside, but to my body being ok at 75° to 85° it feels as if it is Snowing 😮😂😢. It will be getting to 40 during the night in a few days.
You had "clutter free in 23" for this years mantra
I think next year should be "Let go of MORE in 24" 🙂
Happy new year and start of 2024! 🎉 I love your videos and even though I’m not a hoarder they inspire me to clean up too! Amazing progress in 2023! You are the best!! Looking forward to follow along this year! 🙌🦄❤️
Hope you've had a blessed Christmas and a clutterless 2024 xxx. Love from Yorkshire UK xx
Thank you my friend from the beautiful Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧❤️ I hope you had a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year too 🌟🌟
Ms. Heart, you are doing a fantanstic job. Im cheering you on 💗
Thank you so so much my sweet friend, that means a lot me 🩷🙏🏼🩷🙏🏼🩷🙏🏼
I haven't visited this channel in a while. It was very helpful for motivation at a particular stage of my life and will always remember this as something that helped. I'm not a minimalist at all yet 😅
There are definitely cycles to the decluttering. I really appreciate seeing photos over time seeing the hoard get cleared and organised, grow back a bit, and then get tackled again - year after year - because you can see the space open up steadily over time.
Appreciate You! Let's keep going! Pat Pepper & Cheers to You and Yours!
What a year to be proud of! You are incredible. Thank you for sharing your journey with so many. Happy New Year 🎉
Thank you so so much my friend 🩷🙏🏼🩷 I hope you have a very Happy New Year too 🎊🎉🥳
I give away,throw out,and love it.Happy New Year.
My dad plans on retiring for 2024 here's hoping he lets go too.
You’ve done a remarkable job. You give everyone who watches there’s hope for all of us. Thanks for your honesty and guidance. Happy new year!!
Have a happy, amazing, and blessed New Year. Keep up the good work in 2024. Looking forward to watching!!
Another amazing year of progress n your journey. Congratulations 🎉❤
Thank you so much my friend 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼 I hope you have a very Happy New Year 🎆🎊🥳🎉
You did amazing decluttering in 2023. The basement has so much open space. The other rooms you had to touch up went rather quick. All in all 2023 showed spectacular progress and 2024 you will show so many people how they can tackle what might seem as an impossible task.
Congratulations on the wonderful job you have done!!!!! You are such an inspiration!!!!! Wishing you and your family many blessings from God!!!!! Happy and blessed New Year!!!!! Love from Ania from Poland :)
Well done in 2023. Let hope you can keep up the good work in 2024. If you have anything left to declutter 😊
What a massive achievement! AND you still have your childhood/adolescent memories safely stored all together where you can access them if you need to reminisce. You have a wonderful husband (who also looks like he needs to declutter his abundance of childhood memorabilia), children and supportive Pepper to remind you that 'stuff' doesn't always keep you feeling safe xxxx
Good Luck for the future.🦄🍀
I'm sure next year your home will be even more organised and pleasant to live in than this year. Must be a huge weight off your shoulders knowing you can and have made incredible progress. 🏡
Thank you my dear friend 🩷🙏🏼🩷 I think next year, I’ll be officially off the hoarding scale 🦄🌟🩷🙏🏼💜 I hope you have a very Happy New Year 🥳🎉🎆🎊
Thanks for your videos throughout the year I have found them inspirational and given me understanding about hoarding. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year. I love the way your basement is becoming so much clearer and organised, looking forward to your success in 2024. ❤
HAPPY NEW YEAR ! You are amazing and so courageous! Thank you very much for sharing your experience! Bisous from Alsace in France !
Ms Heart, I am do proud of you! I have been watching you from the beginning and watching you heal and learn to let go had been so inspiring and touched my heart. You are so strong and sweet and beautiful inside and out!
You did a great job in 2023 and hope you have great success in 2024. You've been a great inspriation. I've donated so many craft supplies in the past couple of months and it feels good. I'm not sad, I'm relieved. I am going to declutter some in my linen closet today because I can't stand it anymore. Then I'm on a decluttering break until January 8. Then I'm back to decluttering big time.
Wow! Fantastic, what a great job you have done. ❤️🤗♥️
January 2024. I get rid of 20 items each day. Today's items were collage materials and ribbons for the seniors at a local church. Tina, Al's wife
You have worked so hard in 2023, amazing job🎉❤❤❤ i love your series
Hi Ms. Heart! I know maintenance of the cleared out spaces is always a work in progress so I was wondering if you could do more Fly Lady videos? Those have been some of my favorite videos from you!
Amazing progress! We are so thankful that you share your journey and your tips. You have touched many lives for the better!
Well done, # Question, how do you emotionally deal with the “open spaces”that de-cluttering has made ..? I find it hard to deal with them and then I fill them again, and so the circle continues… how can I stop this happening again and again- any suggestion will be accepted.
Great job and year that you did keep up the good work. Watch you all the time. For inspiration. I hope you keep going forward and maybe go back and do more in your basement.
I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.
Yay!! Another video! What a year & hope you and the family have a wonderful holiday! Thanks for sharing your journey & excited to continue on to another year. 🙂
Thank you so so much!! I hope you and your family have a beautiful Happy & Healthy Holiday too 🌟🌟🌟
After all the trauma of my dad dying n now brother may die I have bought stuff I don’t need. Only good thing I did was finally get my hair cut
Sorry for your losses and tough times. Taking care of yourself is important but hard to prioritize when grieving. Sending ❤ and hoping things get better for you
@@jwb3136 thank you
i am so proud of you.i watch you from the beginning and you came so far. be proud on your self and: declutter even more in 2024
Hello from Germany,hi Miss Heart, miouw pepper 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
I’ve been watching you for the last few years and I can truly say that you have come so far in your journey and it has been a pleasure to witness. An idea that i thought of, when (in due time) the attic is declutterred, you may be able to store the holiday decor up there to save room in the basement for other things!
Congratulations on all of your progress in 2023 and I love your motto of "Hoard no more in 2024"!
2023 you declutter ex so much and helped so many people so proud of you ❤😊
Ms Heart - you might get useful organizing ideas from Gayle Goddard's videos on organizing crafting supplies - as well as being a professional organizer for over 10 years, she is a dedicated and passionate crafter (beading) and has organized many other crafters. I know it might be a couple months until you are setting up your craft "room" in the basement, but maybe getting some ideas now might give it time to mentally sort the ideas.
Thank you so so much, I will have to check her out 🩷🙏🏼🩷
@@ahoardersheart her yt channel is "the clutter fairy" and in her playlists tab there is a list for "arts & Crafts, hobbies, sports"
Hope you have a wonderful new year and look forward to watching you continue on with this 😊
I hope you have a very Happy & Healthy New Year too 🎊💜🎆🥳🎉
Way too dramatic for just cleaning.
It is absolutely amazing what you have been able to achieve in 2023. I can't wait for 'LET IT GO IN 2024'
I love your channel! You understand! ❤
I've been binge watching your videos for the last few months now. Although I don't have any of the conditions that you mentioned in your videos, I just wanted to let you know that you should be very very proud of the progress you have made and the help you have given others along the way. You've made me understand more about the hoarder's mind. As a semi retired teacher I really appreciate you explaining how your ADHD mind works and what tools helps you function better. I'm sure it would have help me enhance my teaching and organisational skills when I had my own classroom. I wish you all the best in 2024!
I am always so proud of all the progress and mind shifts you continue to make. ❤
Love your progress and your positive, loving attitude. I am working on decluttering my craft supplies and finding new homes for things that no longer inspire me. It is actually quite joyful to re-gift things to friends
who want them. They had become a burden. And now I can focus on the projects I am excited about. Can’t wait to see what you get done in 2024.
Fantasticyear of decluttering congratulations everything looks great💜🦄
Thank you so much my dearest friend 🩷🙏🏼🩷 I hope you have a very Happy New Year too 🎊🎆🥳🎉

Actually it was your parents fault. You must teach your children skills. The Spectrum issues just make it amplified. Kids need the confidence and motivation to start practising what they have seen or learnt or they just don’t do it. A sort of learned incompetence. If your parents are doing all the work you don’t feel like you have to or are allowed to, to do the same.
Please be careful when using the term OCD to describe minimalism. They are not the same thing. x
So if someone has OCD they can't also have it take the form of being a minimalist like Ms Heart's mother? Cos that was what I got from what she said, not that minimalism and being OCD are the same thing.
My point is I am a minimalist AND I have OCD. Occasionally intrusive thoughts impact my minimalism and occasionally minimalism living has been healing in my OCD. But even so, they are two separate things and should never be describe as the same thing. If your minimalism is leaching into OCD, then it has become OCD, and is no longer minimalism as technically OCD is about obsessions that get in the way of living and minimalism is all about and encouraging living.
Source: Someone who is OCD diagnosed and who's OCD did overtake minimalism at one point. In my case OCD impacted minimalism, because I was only feeling safe when I was spending hours counting everything in my rooms and went 'extreme minimalist' to cope. And when I couldn't I was very, very, very stressed about it, aka not living my best life.

I hope that helps.
Amazing accomplishments in 2023! best wishes for 2024!
