Have you ever been so busy helping others that you forget to take care of yourself? On the surface, it looks like selflessness. But deep down, it can be a way of shielding ourselves from the things we don’t want to face.
For Bernice, life was a whirlwind of community events, charity drives, and social gatherings. She was the heart of her neighborhood, always giving, always doing. But beneath her warm smile and packed calendar was a woman grieving deeply, someone who had lost her sense of self after her husband passed.
Her home reflected the chaos within—cluttered, disorganized, and filled with reminders of a life she wasn’t ready to confront. It wasn’t until a close friend gently encouraged her to seek help that Bernice began to see the connection between the state of her home and the state of her heart.
What unfolded was a journey of courage, clarity, and connection. Through the process of letting go—both of the physical items in her home and the emotional weight she carried—Bernice found the strength to move forward. The transformation didn’t just stop with her home; it rippled through her life in ways she never expected.
