@@PeelingAwaytheClutter Hi Mira! Respect, You do extraordinary job. You are strong despite Your weakness. I wonder how one human could collected so many things. Do You need all the stuff?! And You must spend a lot of money for all the shopping. 💪👏👍😘
I also shop when I’m feeling down. I like to buy books and home decor. It’s not easy asking for help so good job reaching out to Bonnie. I love her channel. She’s a wonderful person and I know she’s struggling right now. I hope her break from RUclips is helping her feel better. Hugs. 😊
This is really encouraging to see. You needed someone's help, and had the courage to ask for it. That is very commendable, Mira. It looks so inviting, and is a place of peace now.
I watched hers and I’ve been watching you dig your way out of your living room. You’ve been doing great and calling her in for help was an excellent idea. I understand that overwhelm is a real thing. Best wishes and I hope you can enjoy your space going forward!
Having someone come in and help is such a mega step to be proud of yourself for! Bonnie couldn't have come at a better time for your doggy and for you, to continue the decluttering x
You are absolutely fabulous for all you do and share. This could be so helpful for many people because you help them realize they aren't alone. They, like you, also deserve love, support, acceptance, understanding and many wonderful things!
1. Love your laugh, Mira 2. Also prefer Aquafina 3. Not allowing the recycling to slow you down was wise. 4. You are making tremendous strides... keep moving forward! 5. You have a kind, gracious, beautiful spirit❤
What an AMAZING JOB!! Please be proud of urself and know that u DESERVE to live in this beautiful space with joy and harmony! I really hope ur heart finds some peace with Cupid. Keep up the great work!!
I, too, have trouble with trash cans. I use the plastic grocery bag, attached to my drawer knob. When it gets full I tie a knot in it and take it out, usually when I walk the dog. That way it is not so heavy (i.e. large kitchen can. For recycling, I use the paper trash bags and put them in a corner and empty either at night or the next morning. I, too, love the read and would much rather read than clean. But I do also like a clean house, so I will read a chapter and then do a "small" like wash dishes, or clean the toilet, not the whole kitchen or bathroom. At the end of the day, usually a non-work day, I read a book and cleaned the house, but didn't feel like all I did was clean. Dogs are great friends with whom to watch cleaning shows, instead of actually cleaning. HAHA. Thank you for sharing your struggles.
Deciding to get rid of expired food and recycle items in one fell swoop was a good choice. This is the best time to get help. Thank you Bonnie for helping Mira!!
My friend donated all of her audio books to the local library. She decided that she might never listen to them again and if she wants to she could go the the library and check them out.
I pray you are going through therapy to help deal with your depression, your compulsion to buy, etc. It's absolutely life-changing if you can. I feel like an entirely different human after having access to therapy to learn healthy coping mechanisms and being able to get things off of my chest. I realize it's often a privilege in America, but if you are able to, I hope you jump at the chance. You have already made amazing progress and Midwest Magic Cleaning talks about how vital it is to make even more progress. Sending love your way. 💗
Three of us are in a 2BR apartment. Every day, I toss 25 items in garbage or recycling. I wash dishes, and do laundry. It's easier to keep house if you own fewer things. Tina, Al's wife
Mira, I love you so much! You had me crying with how sweetly you describe me. That is definitely one of your strengths is you are very articulate and eloquent and I just love that about you.❤ That is where I fall short, but I am super happy to be your "benevolent tornado!" 😂 What you have done with your home is nothing short of "Mira-culous!" I cannot wait until we get together again to tackle that scrapbook room!🥰 I've only watched the first 16 minutes so far, so I'm sure I'll comment again, but I'm loving your commentary as I always do. You are the best!💜💜💜
Don’t you worry about disappointing any of us. We’re just excited for you. As you said you can start recycling later right now it’s getting you a happy, healthy place to live.
Your wish from 2021 came true! You have over 8800 welcomed to your house Mira. It seems the process of rubbish leaving your house is a big stumbling block. If there were fewer steps I think you would get rid of your rubbish more often. If you put your rubbish bins by your back door this might make it easier. Put a reminder in your phone to put your bins on the footpath for collection. I have a habit of putting kitchen general waste out every day and my recycling basket I take out when it’s full. I think your life would be much easier if you prioritise getting rubbish out in the bins.
I watched Bonnie’s part of this collaboration and have been looking forward to seeing you tackle the pyramid. I thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. I hope, as you work through this process and share with us, that it is therapeutic for you! You are doing a fantastic job!
I think you’ve done so well in your decluttering journey, sometimes it’s overwhelming,I’ve found going through the thousands of printed photos a huge task,I’m still working on it. One thing though, if you ever come across any water left in bottles please tip it down the sink/toilet even onto the ground,there must be millions of litres of water stuck in thrown away bottles that has been taken out of the eco system. 👍🏻 Great video.😊
Mira I'm right along side you peeling away my clutter one space at a time! Mira you are an inspiration and hope to us all that we too can peel away the clutter one room at a time. Go Mira, you are doing a fantastic job!! Thank you Bonnie for helping Mira and your support as she is on her decluttering journey.
This is so healthy. Just excellent. Amazing job getting help, and especially for helping yourself. The hard work is the most satisfying work and you get to live in the rewards. I hope you are loving the results
Mira, you are stronger than you realize! Wonderful! Asking for help is to be commended! Keep up the good work! Bonnie is a beautiful soul and you are too! Love from Texas! 🥰
What a wonderful transformation. You both did an amazing job. I am so happy for you too have the stress of your kitchen finally come to a happy space for you.
OMG Your A supernatural fan!!!! So am I Big big fan! And I have my Castiel funko right by me! Might I add Always Keep fighting! Carry on my wayward friend! 🥧
Just want to let you know how proud I am of you and your courage in sharing this journey with us all. I'm on a similar journey and it's so good not to feel alone. Like you, I find I can only do a little at a time and am finding it helpful to set aside 2 hours in the evening each day when I make a special effort to do some sorting and decluttering and also make an effort to re-tidy the areas I've already done. Going to be a long slow process but better than doing nothing.
I am so proud of you! I just got to the end of your video. You give me a lot of credit, but you are the true hero. It's one thing to love cleaning and organizing like I do, but it's entirely different when you are going against all of your instincts and changing habits, so that is why you are MY hero!!! GO MIRA!!❤❤❤🎉🎉
Mira, I think you got it. Great job. When you can reach out for help it is a huge step. You are on your way to the new you. Congratulations! Bonne is a gift; housekeeping is a talent. May God Bless her for helping others. Peace!
Can we not all relate to the sudden burst of motivation to clean when you know someone is coming over!?!?! You're doing great Mira! Love your vulnerability and how much you are inspiring so many
Team Castiel here too! 😄What an amazing job you and Bonnie did! You are such an inspiration to me, love your compassion, laugh, and sense of humor. Lots of love from Finland 😊❤
I'm with henriikka-m here. You're an inspiration, love your laugh and sense of humour. BUT i'm a Dean girl through and through. In the meantime i started my journey in decluttering my house and now, thanks to Mira , i dedicate at least one hour every day at the activity. Cheers from Italy. Dan P.S.: I went at 3 SPN conventions and all the guys are sweet. I hope you can go soon.
In my own year long journey of decluttering after my husband died, I found my solution to your donation box migrating from one room to another. In order to not have to deal with it twice, I movie it to my van and once the van is full it is time to go to the donation center. Even if I can’t get to the center right away it gets it out of the house. Love you and your ability to laugh at yourself. You are doing a great job
I am also disabled and can't stand for more than 1 minute. I feel you. I fortunate to have a caregiver. But I have also been doing a lot of Decluttering as my youngest child moved out. It is slow and hard and I don't have money to buy organization supplies. I have been recording my efforts on my phone but I don't have a computer to edit them together. I love your approach. Sorry about Cupid. I have 2 kitties and I can only imagine as they are 9 years old.
My daughter gets her shopping high by going through the store with her car. She loads it up full of things she likes. Then she takes a few minutes and goes through the cart and starts putting things back on the shelf. She might have one or two items she decides to buy but sometimes it’s nothing at all. She gets her Adrenalin fix and leaves.
I love your voiceovers. You have a lovely sense of humour and humanity, and gentleness, and it's somehow soothing to listen to you. Also helps me understand.
I was really looking forward to this video. You and Bonnie are awesome. You are also very courageous and strong. I am so glad to know that you pressed forward with this work in spite of your grief and anxiety. I am so happy that you have your kitchen back. I already watched Bonnie's kitchen clean up. Keep with the great work.
Thank you for all the lovely advice and support you are putting out into the world for others, Mira. You are an encouraging and accepting voice for folks who struggle! Everyone does deserve good things, thank you for helping us to see it.
You are such an inspiration! I don't know if you realize how valuable your videos are. Seeing videos like this is always satisfying, but they're usually filmed by 'outsiders' who clean it. Seeing you do so much yourself and explaining your story is even more motivating and shows that change is possible. And your positivity is amazing. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
Mira, I can and do relate to what you have gone through and am so proud of you for sharing your journey of peeling back the clutter. Your empathy for yourself (so hard to do!) and for others shines through. You encourage me to continue my own decluttering journey. Regarding bringing stuff in, I have adopted a rule that says for every one item I bring in, two or more items have to go out. I have found that helps. And I adopted your tip about leaving things in the cart for 24 hours several months ago and it really does help! I have even gone 48 hours as there were some things I was still uncertain about after 24. I look forward to each new video you release! And I am so proud of and happy for you for embarking on this journey, and I wish you continued success, one small area at a time. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I want you to know how EXTRAORDINARY you are! My sister’s house is yours x10 and does not face it or let us help. You have come such a long way and I admire you!
This was epic! I totally get it how some room or some pile triggers a full anxiety attack. It was so smart to get help. You accomplished a huge amount in those 2-3 days, not even looking at what Bonnie did. You should feel so proud. If you get discouraged, go look at that room... you did incredibly hard emotional work to face into it, and look at the result!! You are incredible! I hope you feel lighter!
Mira, I am truly inspired by your transparency and vulnerability. I already watched the video on the other channel, and I am watching this as I work on my kitchen. Thank you. ❤
Oh yay, your kitchen video! I watched Bonnie’s last week and have been looking forward to seeing yours. So great. You are making such incredible progress. I really hope you acknowledge yourself for doing this work despite the challenges. My cousin likes to say “progress not perfection” and that’s what I strive for in my life too. ❤️ Can l make a suggestion about the water bottles? Totally understand that you prefer the taste of filtered water. You might want to look into getting a water filtration system for your home. There are lots of different kinds - you can even have a water filter spout at your sink that filters your tap water. It will save $ in the long run and you won’t have to deal with all those bottles anymore! Just a thought. ❤️. Keep on keeping on. Thank you for sharing your decluttering journey with all of us!! ❤️
Restriction leads to binging, my suggestion is therapy :) When I realized I needed coping mechanism but didn't know where to start I reached out to a professional. It made an amazing difference in my life.
Mira, you are amazing! I'm so proud and happy that you reached out to Bonnie to make a particularly difficult area a bit easier to navigate. So sad to hear about Cupid's passing. Please give yourself some grace as you grieve. We'll be here for you.
Let the shame go - you are doing such a great job and inspiring so many people to get started on their own journey! It takes a lot of courage to open your home up and I think you are making fantastic progress. Keep it up! ❤
Mira, it is looking so good!! I hope you have been able to find peace in your kitchen again 💚 I’m also a pasta girlie, my tip to feel more confident in the kitchen is to get comfortable with a “genre” of food, and for me, that was pasta. For example, before I dump my sauce in a pot to warm it, I’ll melt a pat of butter and sauté some mushrooms or frozen veggies until they smell good (maybe add some garlic or onion powder, or even capers if I’m feeling really fancy). Then, I put about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of white wine in and let it cook down maybe…5 minutes or so, until I can’t smell any alcohol left. Then I add the pasta sauce, and either a rinsed can of white beans or chickpeas. The butter and wine just makes everything taste divine, and it boosts my pride to feel like I elevated my traditional “go-to” without being crazy or creating more dishes. It’s also super easy to adjust to whatever you have on hand and you don’t have to worry about following a recipe. Then because I’m in love with carbs, I make buttered toast sprinkled with garlic powder and oregano-bam, easy garlic bread. I hope this help; I know it’s not something you asked for but cozy food that you can be proud of is a game changer. I know you can do it-look at all the things you’ve done already!!!
😇Truly Blessed by a “Kind-Hearted Whirl-Wind”…coupled-up with a “Courageous Swirl-Wind”- (YOU; A Mini-Whirl-Wind-in-Training!) 🎉Congrats on your amazing progress! *🥰Always Remember that the “physical changes” for the better are symptoms of the “mental/emotional” changes for the better! (Just the way the reverse manifested itself over time). 🤓Your awareness, acceptance of your own limitations & self-patience are KEY! 👍🏼You get it! BRAVO! 🥳🎉🐾❤️🐾
I also clean for a living and I’ve been called a tornado/whirlwind. I’ve gotten older so I probably don’t move as fast as I used to. I also enjoy Scrapbooking. When I get the time to do it. I get using paper plates/bowls. It’s just less stressful and easier to just use that instead of regular dishes.
Can relate to you in so many different ways. I can also relate to Bonnie when she says helping somebody else will help ease our own depression. I know that to be true in my case. I wish I was closer, I would love to help you too. When things are so bad as they have been lately, if I can force myself to do one thing each time I get up to go to the bathroom, it helps because those little things all start to add up. If I try to do too much. Also, like you, I have trouble standing for any length of time.
Mira I believe you being so courageous to show your decluttering journey is going to help many other people. You are doing an amazing job!
Aw, thank you!
I agree!
@@PeelingAwaytheClutter Hi Mira! Respect, You do extraordinary job. You are strong despite Your weakness. I wonder how one human could collected so many things. Do You need all the stuff?! And You must spend a lot of money for all the shopping. 💪👏👍😘

5. You have a kind, gracious, beautiful spirit❤
Yes to all of these!! ❤
Aw, thank you!
Mira,,instead of calling Bonnie like a tornado, you can call her a fresh wind.
I believe getting your house in order will make a positive difference in your life. It’s so cute that you can laugh at yourself. ❤
What an AMAZING JOB!! Please be proud of urself and know that u DESERVE to live in this beautiful space with joy and harmony! I really hope ur heart finds some peace with Cupid. Keep up the great work!!

Deciding to get rid of expired food and recycle items in one fell swoop was a good choice. This is the best time to get help. Thank you Bonnie for helping Mira!!
My friend donated all of her audio books to the local library. She decided that she might never listen to them again and if she wants to she could go the the library and check them out.
You have really done a lot of work and it shows! Great job on recognizing the need for help and asking for it.
You got this Mira! You are definitely making your Christmas wish come to reality by peeling away the clutter day after day. 😊 keep it up!👍🏻
Thank you!
You are so inspiring. Looks beautiful and you and Bonnie made a great team. I hope you remain friends forever. take care!
I pray you are going through therapy to help deal with your depression, your compulsion to buy, etc. It's absolutely life-changing if you can. I feel like an entirely different human after having access to therapy to learn healthy coping mechanisms and being able to get things off of my chest. I realize it's often a privilege in America, but if you are able to, I hope you jump at the chance.

First I came across Mack, which led me to Bonnie. Now Bonnie has led me here. You’re doing a fabulous job! ❤️❤️❤️
Same with me. And Mack is hilarious.
New to all of this wonderfulness! Who is Mack? Going to Bonnie's channel for the first time after this. Thanks for your reply!@@teresaleonard9215
Midwest Magic Cleaning is Mack’s channel. ❤
Mack is Midwest Magic Cleaning and he is hilarious.
Thank you!😊
What a blessing that you started the RUclips channel a few months ago and have video of your sweet Cupid. ❤
I agree. I have other videos with him too, but these are another blessing.

Mira, you did WELL. Took down the big pyramid 👏👏
i love all your nerdy fandom interests
Way to go Mira. So proud of your tenacity in this big project of decluttering your home. Keep up the good work! You are awesome.
Thank you so much!
Don’t you worry about disappointing any of us. We’re just excited for you. As you said you can start recycling later right now it’s getting you a happy, healthy place to live.

I am. Thank you!

Yes I agree with this comment, Mira you’re getting there, one day at at a time 😊

Welcome! Thanks so much for your kind comment.
you asking for help and letting people into your house and into your life is such an good example foor everybody who is in the same struggle
Mira, I think you got it. Great job. When you can reach out for help it is a huge step. You are on your way to the new you. Congratulations! Bonne is a gift; housekeeping is a talent. May God Bless her for helping others. Peace!
Can we not all relate to the sudden burst of motivation to clean when you know someone is coming over!?!?! You're doing great Mira! Love your vulnerability and how much you are inspiring so many
Off topic: I just love hearing you laugh. You have the best sense of humor!!!

Your doing great must keep up the good work.One step at a time
.WAY TO GO.😮😂😮
🙏🏻🙏🏻Props to Bonnie too !!😍
Mira , love you sooooo much. Stay strong dear! ❤️
You are so kind. Thank you!

You are rocking it Mira! Steady on my friend.
Thank you!
I say you are the real MVP. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. Both you and Bonnie are blessings to us all.
Oh, you are absolutely right! Nothing would have happened without Mira’s courage and her previous work.
Aw, thank you!

Mira, I can and do relate to what you have gone through and am so proud of you for sharing your journey of peeling back the clutter. Your empathy for yourself (so hard to do!) and for others shines through. You encourage me to continue my own decluttering journey.
Regarding bringing stuff in, I have adopted a rule that says for every one item I bring in, two or more items have to go out. I have found that helps. And I adopted your tip about leaving things in the cart for 24 hours several months ago and it really does help! I have even gone 48 hours as there were some things I was still uncertain about after 24.
I look forward to each new video you release! And I am so proud of and happy for you for embarking on this journey, and I wish you continued success, one small area at a time. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much! I wish you all the best in your declutter journey as well!
I want you to know how EXTRAORDINARY you are! My sister’s house is yours x10 and does not face it or let us help. You have come such a long way and I admire you!
We saw you in Bonnie’s You Tube w you in the background, going thru your things!!
I look forward to your progress each week. There is something in all of our lives that you are giving us encourage to tackle!
I'm so glad! Best wishes in whatever you are tackling!
This was epic! I totally get it how some room or some pile triggers a full anxiety attack. It was so smart to get help. You accomplished a huge amount in those 2-3 days, not even looking at what Bonnie did. You should feel so proud. If you get discouraged, go look at that room... you did incredibly hard emotional work to face into it, and look at the result!! You are incredible! I hope you feel lighter!
I love that you can laugh at yourself. Humor helps!
Mira, I am truly inspired by your transparency and vulnerability.
I already watched the video on the other channel, and I am watching this as I work on my kitchen.
Thank you. ❤
Oh yay, your kitchen video! I watched Bonnie’s last week and have been looking forward to seeing yours. So great. You are making such incredible progress. I really hope you acknowledge yourself for doing this work despite the challenges. My cousin likes to say “progress not perfection” and that’s what I strive for in my life too. ❤️
Can l make a suggestion about the water bottles? Totally understand that you prefer the taste of filtered water. You might want to look into getting a water filtration system for your home. There are lots of different kinds - you can even have a water filter spout at your sink that filters your tap water. It will save $ in the long run and you won’t have to deal with all those bottles anymore! Just a thought. ❤️.
Keep on keeping on. Thank you for sharing your decluttering journey with all of us!! ❤️
Great job and you are so smart for asking for help 😊❤️
Restriction leads to binging, my suggestion is therapy :) When I realized I needed coping mechanism but didn't know where to start I reached out to a professional. It made an amazing difference in my life.
Therapy has helped me a lot too.
Mira, you are amazing! I'm so proud and happy that you reached out to Bonnie to make a particularly difficult area a bit easier to navigate. So sad to hear about Cupid's passing. Please give yourself some grace as you grieve. We'll be here for you.
You’re doing so good. I love Bonnie, she is a joy to watch work. I’m so glad you asked her to help. It looks amazing. 👏👏👏
Let the shame go - you are doing such a great job and inspiring so many people to get started on their own journey! It takes a lot of courage to open your home up and I think you are making fantastic progress. Keep it up! ❤
So happy you have a clean space to prepare meals, Best Wishes
Your right you do deserve happiness.😊
I'm not sure what the correct word is for Bonnie, but for you, Mira, it's valiant. You are valiant!
Aw, thank you!
Mira, it is looking so good!! I hope you have been able to find peace in your kitchen again 💚
I’m also a pasta girlie, my tip to feel more confident in the kitchen is to get comfortable with a “genre” of food, and for me, that was pasta. For example, before I dump my sauce in a pot to warm it, I’ll melt a pat of butter and sauté some mushrooms or frozen veggies until they smell good (maybe add some garlic or onion powder, or even capers if I’m feeling really fancy). Then, I put about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of white wine in and let it cook down maybe…5 minutes or so, until I can’t smell any alcohol left. Then I add the pasta sauce, and either a rinsed can of white beans or chickpeas. The butter and wine just makes everything taste divine, and it boosts my pride to feel like I elevated my traditional “go-to” without being crazy or creating more dishes. It’s also super easy to adjust to whatever you have on hand and you don’t have to worry about following a recipe. Then because I’m in love with carbs, I make buttered toast sprinkled with garlic powder and oregano-bam, easy garlic bread.
I hope this help; I know it’s not something you asked for but cozy food that you can be proud of is a game changer. I know you can do it-look at all the things you’ve done already!!!
Yay, now you can cook in your beautiful kitchen!!!!❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋
I understand how hard it is to lose a pet 😢 I lost my dog last december. I still miss her so much. I love your videos. You are dying a good Job. ❤
😇Truly Blessed by a “Kind-Hearted Whirl-Wind”…coupled-up with a “Courageous Swirl-Wind”- (YOU; A Mini-Whirl-Wind-in-Training!)
🎉Congrats on your amazing progress! *🥰Always Remember that the “physical changes” for the better are symptoms of the “mental/emotional” changes for the better!
(Just the way the reverse manifested itself over time).
🤓Your awareness, acceptance of your own limitations & self-patience are KEY!
👍🏼You get it!
BRAVO! 🥳🎉🐾❤️🐾
Thank you so much! I love being a Mini Whirlwind in Training!
The angle was fine. We can see what you’re doing You are an inspiration
Excellent work and I benefited greatly from your experience --I also have depression. Love your personality 😊
Thank you. I understand depression well. Take care.
What a huge blessing Bonnie has been to all of us❤
I agree!
I admire your bravery honesty and most of all your resolve well done you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!
You made me chuckle and cry all in the same video. You are the Sweetest of peas 🥰🌱🫛❤️
I also clean for a living and I’ve been called a tornado/whirlwind. I’ve gotten older so I probably don’t move as fast as I used to. I also enjoy Scrapbooking. When I get the time to do it. I get using paper plates/bowls. It’s just less stressful and easier to just use that instead of regular dishes.
Can relate to you in so many different ways. I can also relate to Bonnie when she says helping somebody else will help ease our own depression. I know that to be true in my case. I wish I was closer, I would love to help you too. When things are so bad as they have been lately, if I can force myself to do one thing each time I get up to go to the bathroom, it helps because those little things all start to add up.
If I try to do too much. Also, like you, I have trouble standing for any length of time.
That was really brave to ask for help!!!!
