Tiny Step🪴 Feb 6, 2026
Hello Friends, It's time for our Tiny Step for the week. For those who are new, each week we practice something small on purpose. Not another goal to achieve, not something to perfect, just one Tiny Step that helps you come back to yourself. This week’s Tiny Step is simple, but surprisingly powerful. Pause for a moment and write one honest sentence answering this question: What do I need right now? Not what you should need, or what everyone else needs from you. Just you. Maybe it’s rest, quiet, a glass of water. Maybe it’s to say no or to begin something.... keep it to one sentence. Sometimes clarity doesn’t come from thinking more, it comes from listening. When I did this exercise today, what came to me was connection with my children ❤️ I called my oldest daughter just to hear how her day was going. Nothing big. Just a simple check-in. It was such a small action, but it made me feel better. If you feel comfortable, you’re welcome to share your sentence below. And if not, just hold it quietly for yourself.

I need to finish cleaning (its not much) the guest bedroom as I am having company soon. I enjoy making my guest bedroom feel like 'a bit of home' to whoever stays, so I always leave different things out for each guest. Whether soaps I know they like, or for this guest I just got their cat a new kitty blanket (that my cat hasn't used yet), or if there is a certain coffee they like, etc.

@Celeste Elash I think sometimes the path becomes unclear so we can learn something (or a bunch of things!) If you feel that is your purpose, it will work out. Congrats on retirement too! More time to take care of you, right? LOL (And I understand as I left the corporate world a few years ago to start my own blog- it has been a lot more than I thought it would be. We are in this together though! And we will learn and grow together through all of this!)

Hi! Colorado has had anything but a winter this year. I am not sure if I need my sweaters or tank tops and we normally have a good amount of snow by now. Sadly, we have hardly gotten any snow and our ski areas are really hurting because of it.

Is everything really "junk"?
I’ve been noticing an interesting trend in 2026 in the decluttering and simplicity space. A lot of creators have shifted from “let’s clear what no longer serves us” to a much stronger message that almost everything is “junk” and that we should stop buying nearly anything at all. It’s made me pause—not in a negative way, but a reflective one. It raises some good questions for me: What’s the difference between clutter and comfort? When does simplifying become freeing—and when does it start to feel limiting? And who decides what’s “junk” anyway? I’m finding myself less interested in extreme rules and more interested in discernment—keeping what supports my life as it is now, and being thoughtful about what I bring in next. Some things really are excess. Others add ease, creativity, or quiet pleasure. I’m curious how this trend is landing for you. Does it inspire you? Or does it make you want to define simplicity on your own terms?

I like that you brought this up as I found the word 'junk' to be not the best word, as it feels cheap and almost degrading. I do buy new things here and there, like I needed new running shoes, and calling it 'junk' makes me feel bad. Running, walking, and hiking, bring so much joy to my life, that for me those shoes are not 'junk.' They protect my feet while I am out. Do many people buy too much stuff, probably. Does everyone? No, definitely not. And to act like we can never buy new or replace something with something new seems also silly at times. I have noticed they are not only pushing the word 'junk,' but also almost pushing a mentality of you cannot buy anything ever. I agree with @Cristina Tudor who basically asked here 'what is the right number of said items for minimalism?',' and 'what makes one a minimalist?' I honestly believe that is a bit different for everyone. While I do believe a lot of things are 'junk' at times, I do not think everything is, and I think that is not the best word. What is not useful for one person, is completely useful for another. I enjoy tea, so I have a ton of different teas. My parents however do not, so it would not be useful for them to have a ton of teas, if any at all. That also goes for everything in the home - and I think one of the most beautiful things is that every home looks different on the inside. It is an expression of that person/people, so who is someone outside the home to tell you what you should and should not have inside?
