🎙️ It's Throwback Thursday! 🚀

Last year I had an enlightening chat with Kristy Edwards from Neatly Balanced, and with Spring around the corner...I figured it was a good time to revisit our chat. Here are some of my favorite takeaways:

1️⃣ Cherish Moments, Not Things: Kristy’s approach to creating memorable experiences over piling up toys is a game changer. Her "Kristy dates" emphasize selecting activities that foster heartfelt memories over material possessions. 🎁➡️💖

2️⃣ Organize, Donate, Repeat: Say goodbye to clutter! Kristy’s philosophy shows the transformative power of purging and donating. It's not just a benefit for your space—it's a boost to the community. 🧺🎉

3️⃣ Giving Back is Stylish: Follow Neatly Balanced for details on upcoming consignment sales. She curate a fabulous blend of fashion and philanthropy that benefits both the Nashville community and a village overseas. 👠🌍

Catch Episode 58 for a heartfelt dialogue that's all about finding harmony in your home and embracing a spirit of generosity.

Join me for a talk with bestselling author Annie F. Downs about her latest children's book, "Where Did TJ Go?." It's a thoughtful tale about grief, love, and faith crafted especially for young hearts.

The book is designed to be a resource, providing comfort and understanding without shying away from the facts of life and death.

Annie's dedication to making sure every grieving family can access this message of hope and healing is nothing short of inspiring.

Let’s ensure this doesn’t happen to you!

Takeaways:
✅ Consider cloud storage services like Google Photos, Dropbox, or Apple iCloud to securely back up digital memories.
✅ Invest in external hard drives or print out photos to create physical backups.
✅ Use private sharing platforms or family blogs to share memories securely with loved ones.
