WHEEL-y fun + functional!

These are challenging times. No one living today has gone through anything like this COVID-19 pandemic. We are navigating our way, with the information we have at hand, and we are doing the very best we can.
 
The guidelines are simple - stay home, stay safe and do everything you can to keep your family, yourselves and your community healthy.
 
While we spend long days at home, lots of us are taking time to downsize and get organized.
 
Sometimes, just the thought of downsizing can be O ver W helming; often the biggest challenge is figuring out where to start!
 
At Downsizing Diva, we take the OW out of d OW nsizing! That's why we created our Diva Downsizing Wheel as a wheel-y fun way to figure out where to start letting go of your stuff!

DOWNSIZING in FOUR steps:
 
  1. CLICK and connect to our Downsizing Wheel. 
  2. SPIN the wheel so you know where to start.
  3. START.
  4. REPEAT 1-3.

simply yours...
