You are beautiful inside and out. Love your smile. We all are decluttering and like you I am doing it one small space at a time.
I'm so happy you finally had the courage to peel away the face mask. That was a HUGE step, but it is so nice to finally see your smile! Thanks for letting us into your life and giving us so much encouragement to undertake our own decluttering journeys. Love your channel!
Thank you! ❤
Beautiful smile, so nice to finally see it!
What she/he/them said! So nice to see your smile finally! So proud of you and all your progress!
Oh, Mira!
I was moved to tears when you took off your mask. What courage!
There you are, in all your vulnerable Glory!
I am proud of you in so many ways! You are a many-faceted jewel!
Thank you so much!
Aww, thanks for trusting us. Your smile made me smile!
Thank you!
Mira, It’s nice to see your face! I know that took a lot of courage. Your living room looks so nice. I’m happy that Lisa comes over to help with maintenance of your home. I know you are going to keep making great progress
Well said, I agree! ❤😘👍
Thank you so much!
Awww Shucks! Ya'll Making Us Girls Blush. I just help out. I love to assist where and when I can. Blame Bonnie. 🤣😂
Mira, I’ve been here since Day 1. I clean alongside you. I talk to you and encourage you. I am in awe of your strength, your vulnerability, and your bravery. I have cried with you. I have mourned when you mourned. You and Bonnie can have me laughing, nodding, and then I get choked up. But today, I am bawling and waving at you. You are so amazing! I am so proud of you. You have come so far and have overcome so much. Thank you for taking us along. Thank you for opening your door and letting us into your lovely home. I am so happy for you and all you accomplished. Oh my goodness, you have me crying with your latest Reveal!! You are beautiful and such a genuine person, and a kind soul.
Me too since day 1. We LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!
Thank you so much! ❤
I am crying with all of you.
I think I found Mira recommended at like 41 followers. Have been pleasantly following since. She's such a mirror of hope, faith, compassion, and gentle humanity. Thank you lovely one for sharing! ❤
You brought tears to my eyes peeling off your mask, I know how vulnerable that must have been! Thanks for always trusting us as you do…I know there’s a lot of negativity out there. I just love your new curtains, it really lightened up and warmed your room! ❤
Thank you!
I agree. I was so hoping the new color would be pink! And in tears, too! Thank you, Mira! I'm the one still struggling to brush hair, although knowing now someone understands that! So inspirational ❤
There is something strangely satisfying about watching someone clean up while talking about life. Btw, your dogs are absolutely precious!!
Mira! It’s nice to meet you face to face 💜🎉
Norma here.
Very nice to see the real you. You must finally feel comfortable and confident enough not to feel the need to hide behind a mask. That’s a major accomplishment.
Yes, maintenance is so important. Hopefully you can conquer your aversion to maintaining areas that you’ve already decluttered.
Why not put pretty little waste baskets around wherever you tend to drink your water and make garbage. Instead of tossing those things on the floor, toss them in the appropriate basket and empty them each evening before bed. Water bottles to the recycling bin and the trash to your main garbage can.
Maybe clean off your tray once a day as you’re sitting by it. Only keep what you actually need in the cart. Just small suggestions so that you don’t end up with the same mess over and over again.
Mira you are doing so good with your clutter. Can you place trash cans with trash bags around each of your sitting areas. Once the bags get full you can empty them and reset new bags out
Thats what I came to suggest. I pick up trash but my family isn't great with it so I've "helpfully" placed trashcans all over the place (sort of works 😂)
Hope its ok i reply, but yeah she did buy a bin to put next to the sofa, I have done the same myself because i tend to have trash around me sometimes, it still didnt make it there and i dont know why, im also adhd butterfly like she has shared (butterfly as in visual organizer etc) so it must mean that there is something else with our wonderful brains😅 that we need to figure out, i dont get why i do this but still know of the adhd p.i. Ive learned how to declutter but maintenance is a real struggle
Mira, you brought happy tears!! It was a beautiful moment when you peeled away your mask! It’s so lovely to see your bright smile. So proud of you, excited for you, & honored to know you on your journey. ❤Thank you for trusting us!
Awwww..... we can see MIRA! That was touching! Nice to "see" you, Mira!
So nice to see your lovely smile. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I felt quite emotional when you took your mask off. Hello! I hope that will be the last we see of it x
Lifetime habits don't disappear overnight, but now you see what you're doing and doing something about it. Maintenance is constant but there are ways to help yourself. What about a plastic bag beside the couch so you can put the bottles straight in there to be taken out to the recycle bin when full? Much better than putting them on the floor and they end up under the couch.
As for scrapbookng, the only thing I can suggest is putting things away after you have used them. Tidy as you go along.
Easier said than done, I know.
I'm proud of how far your journey has taken you from those early days, just keep going Mira!
Small changes add up. Focus on not putting a water bottle on the floor. Put them next to the sink and daily move them to recycling. Once a day. A small change that would make a very big change based on the number of water bottles I see! You can do it.
Mira, I have not commented before, but I play your videos all the time while I’m working. Your voice is so calming and I love how you speak about your experiences. You are a very genuine person. In today’s video you took off your mask- you are beautiful! Thanks for taking us on this journey with you.❤
Wow, thank you so much! You are so kind.
Way to go!
Now I can see the smile behind the awesome laugh!
Happy tears here. What a treat to see you sweetest Mira! Wonderful video. You are doing amazing, and I love that you are being kind and gentle with yourself. LOVE your tenacity, and your clear devotion to your dear doggies. 💗😊
Thank you!
I always make a mess when creating. I just clean up between projects or when it starts to overwhelm me. I feel creatives are just a little more "messy". We are okay.
What a beautiful soul you are.
You are a beautiful person in and out. So proud of you
Hello Mira, Very nice to meet you. Peeling away the mask made me cry happy tears. Those curtains really do brighten up that room! Take care. 💕
MIRA !!!!!!!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR REMOVING THE MASK!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤. YOU HAVE THE PRETTIEST FACE AND SMILE 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁. YOU ARE DOING AMAZING AND I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE IN EVERY VIDEO!!!!
If you haven't already you really should teach Colt a proper "Settle" command/cue. It was literally the easiest most helpful thing I've ever taught my dog. Completely free! You can use it at the vet, cafes, in the house, before walks, while making dinner, when guests come, all the things. Get a mat, a towel, or any other soft surface and feed him for calmly lying there. You will probably have to cue him to lay down at first then feed in position. As he starts to understand you start saying the word "settle" and he should plop into a down position automatically and settle on the mat. Eventually, it becomes more automatic and you can ask him to go settle with a chew or something when you are trying to edit videos.
My dog knows that when I make dinner she should go on her settle mat and hope she gets some treats for calmly laying there while I go about my work instead of surfing the counters. She can settle at the vet because we bring her mat as well. Eventually, it becomes more generalized and you won't need a specific piece of fabric.
Kikopup and many others have videos on CZcams about how to capture calmness. Look up clicker training settle or stuff like that.
I think it would change your life.
I teared up when you took your mask off. Hello beautiful! Glad you are feeling better, well enough to film and edit. 🍄🌻
At last, we see the real Mira! Congratulations on gaining enough confidence to do that. A thought: Would having a waste basket next to places like the tray mean less trash going onto the floor? I have extra waste baskets all over the house! Anyway, keep up the good work. You are amazing, girl!!
and maybe a miscellaneous collecting basket to put stuff in that belongs elsewhere?
Both of these suggestions! 👍 Just what I was thinking while watching.
The living room is looking good. You've got a beautiful smile.❤❤
What??? You are always so courageous. Thank you for sharing your kind face with us!! I was so excited for your lovely room, then you topped that!!! Always reminding the rest of us that we CAN do hard things❤.
The room looks so bright and cheery!
You have a beautiful smile Mira. You made me smile too.
Sue- Perhaps it would help you to put a large trash can in the living room so you have a place to put your used water bottles and other items so you don't get overwhelmed. There are magnetic vent covers which are flat for situations just like yours, Mira. You are so creative and could make a sign for your craft room that will help remind you" if you take it out, put it back", or some such slogan to help you get in the habit so you'll feel you can use the space! Keep up the good work and keep moving forward! 👍💪👏❤️
Consider a very large trash can for the living room. That way after each water is drank you can toss it right away along with other items that you may want to toss.
I am so glad you feel able to remove your facemask, it's good to see you at last. I love your new curtains and throw. Take care, Heather. xx
I call the area I sit in all the time my cockpit. It does tend to get cluttered with daily use items like tweezers, nail files, chapsticks etc. I have a little end table with 4 drawers so I can keep all of that along with lotions, pens, essential oils etc. But yes it still get cluttered and I need to clean it up every couple of days.
An idea to solve the problem of stuff getting under your couch is maybe to get some of those thin zipper bags or boxes for storage. You could store a few things under that but mainly it would block things from getting underneath.
For the craft room, I can understand how you would feel that way. Maybe have a deal with yourself that after each page you finish you reset the items ( paper, utensils, tapes etc )
Well hello Mira! It's nice to see you! Hey, consider buying a lift-top coffee table. They have built in storage and really could help eliminate the cart, but still accommodate your needs for a laptop work place, and keeping those things that you need close to you.
Oh, Mira!!! What a beautiful smile!!! I am so happy you are feeling safe enough to share yourself fully!!! I have missed you!! Your livingroom looks amazing! Like you, I have to have certain things within arm's reach. I have a side table in front of my chair where my laptop lives and it has a shelf on it. I keep a box of tissues on the shelf, and I put a notepad and pen there as well. I have a small cart next to that table with meds, hair ties, journals and misc. I have a large dog food storage container on the other side on wheels and it has a flip top lid. Wheels on everything I say!!! I line it with kitchen size trash bags and I use this as a trash can. The locking lid keeps my cats out of the trash. 😸All that said, I still get Dr Pepper bottles all over. LOL One last thing- I live in apartment with an outside entrance and I keep one of the large cans next to my door so I don't have to carry my trash so far. I do roll it to the curb where the others for the building are on trash pickup day. Otherwise, my bags would pile up in my kitchen. My livingroom doesn't really resemble a livingroom, but it works for me. Please don't stay away so long!!! You are sunshine to a lot of us!!! ❤❤❤
Hi Mira, nice to meet you.
I wasn't expecting the peeling of the mask and i'm super happy that you felt comfortable enough to do it.
When you started to sweep the mess under the tray i said: look, there's a bottle.
Oh man, how much i was wrong. Always happy to see more bottles.
I like the new curtains and the puffy fluffy pink comforter.
Cheers from Italy.
Dan 🧡
Aww you are very beautiful. You have gone so far in little under a year. I can’t wait to see how much more you can do with the help of your friends.
Maybe you should try the tiny tidy Tuesday. It might help you with a quick tidy of the water bottles and garbage every Tuesday. Then you might have some motivation and it gives your viewers an extra 10 minute video every week. It can’t hurt to see if it works.
Thanks for the idea!
You really need to use grabbers - such energy savers. It will help you pick up things without getting up or bending over.
Hello Mira. You got me tear up. So nice to see you. It´s impressive that you let us come closer to you.
Omg when you took that mask off I clapped and jumped around. You have such a beautiful smile. You have peeled away a different layer. You encourage me to clean when I need to as I do it a little at a time. ❤ You and your dogs make me smile.
Everything is looking so pretty! I love the curtains! I also love that you feel comfortable showing your face to us. Beautiful! I’m sure this suggestion has been made to you a billion times but I will suggest once more that you switch to a reusable water bottle. You spent so much time dealing with those darn Dasani bottles. I think a reusable one would simplify your life and make things so much easier. I finally made the switch about a year and a half ago and it has been a game changer. I have two Stanley type cups from Amazon that I switch between and the change has been great. Less to store, less to clean up, less to recycle. Altogether a huge improvement in quality of life from something that seemed like a very small change. I love your philosophy of taking your time and growing a little at a time. I see so much improvement you have made in the last 11 months! You should feel amazing about your progress!
this is a great suggestion, but I think Mira is using those bottled water because she likes the taste of that water
Well it's nice to meet you Mira I'm so glad there wasn't anything scary under there your have a pretty face Mira please don't ever hide it from people no more let your light shine bright
Thank you for emptying your water bottles before recycling. Because plastic degrades so slowly, all the water will remain trapped in sealed bottles and out of the water cycle for 100s of years. Also, you have the right idea on using your living room... tidy, use, mess up, rinse, repeat. The same applies to the craft room. Use it, mess it up, tidy every couple of weeks. The tidying is self-limiting, so it hopefully, it doesn't become over-whelming. Also, I hesitate to suggest mental health treatment, but EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful tool in dealing with trauma. It can be done online or in person with a therapist, and is one of those things that can work very quickly, in 2-3 sessions, but you do have to identify and think about the trauma, which can be overwhelming. And happy to meet you, maskless Mira. You continue to blaze past all your anxiety and depression and keep growing and blossoming. Your community is so very grateful to be invited to walk with you on this journey. Also, the most darling lil' puppers!!!!
I would consider placing a trash can next to the sofa as that is where the trash seems to pile up 🙂
It’s great to see your full face❤️
Awe Mira, I’m so proud of you for having the courage to come out of the mask. You are so sweet and kind. You are a beautiful child of God. He loves you so very much and so do I. Keep up all the hard work. You are doing so great.
Yeah🎉 We finally get to see you!! You are a beauty inside and out and I'm so happy you don't feel the need to hide anymore🎉
I have a suggestion..maybe put a small trash can (without a lid) right beside your bed or anywhere else that trash is gathering. Then you are able to just drop trash into the can as easily as tossing it.
For the scrapbooking room just stop scrapbooking about 20 minutes before you get to tired..then you have time to put everything back up before you leave the craft room.
I love the new curtains and throw!! It really brightens up the room, well that along with your smile!!
Awesome job on your living room!!
Woohoo!! You are doing great!!
Hello Ms. Mira! So glad to see your pretty face today. You have come SO FAR!!!! Proud of you girlie😊🎉🎉
I love the curtains, it gives the room a soft nice feel.
So Very Nice to Meet You Mira❣️your openness and honesty has always touched my heart but your courage was on full display today, So Proud of YOU🎉
Ahhhhh hello Mira :) Great video and what an accomplishment at removing your mask. You are the Queen at peeling things away and you are doing more and more in your everyday life. Your home has really transformed and I am so proud of how far you have come. Congrats and keep going.
wow just wow 😯😮 the lounge looks amazing mira 😳😳 and loving the pink 😀💞🌺 and hello boys 🐶🐕🤗🤗 both are cuties 💙💙🤗🤗 and like i said on one of bonnies video,s you was in and had forgotten to put your mask on for a tiny while..... you are pretty mira and nice to met you face to face 🤗😘 and i like how you did your reveal 😃 very pretty sat on the sofa with the pretty pink curtains behind you 😀🤗
Bless you Mira, love your smile ❤❤
So, nice to meet you Mira!! Your smile made me smile. I am glad to see you so happy!!
What i love is that you keep coming back to your piles and working on them. You don't just give up. Cords- we all have them, have to use them and they just simply have a life of their own. I never know how to deal with them. We all have clutter. I love that you keep trying to figure out how to deal with it.💖
Great video! Love the pink accents in the living room!! ❤🤗
💗 love your smile, thank you for sharing 🩷 living room looks fantastic & I think the pink is a lovely touch. Progress over perfection 👌 🎉
Lovely to see your face Mira. The lounge looks lovely after all your hard work.
The room looks SO nice at the end! I like that the cart can just roll to the side when not in use. The blankets, beds, curtains just make it extra cute. I bet the dogs are in Heaven with all of that space and beds plus lots of room to look out the window now. And I'm so happy that you decided to let the mask go! It's so much healthier for you, and all of us feel nice that you feel confident enough to let it go.
Your curtains make me feel happy - that was a nice change!
I’m so proud of you for taking off your mask. That took courage! Go Mira!! Your living room looks great!
Aww Mira, I just knew you had a pretty smile under that mask! I’m so happy you feel comfortable taking your mask off. Great video, such a cozy nice space! We ❤ you
🌸 Hi Mira, nice to meet you! 😊
What a beautiful smile 🥰🫶🏻💖
Pink is the BEST colour EVER ! You can't do anything wrong if it's pink. ^^
And you have a very communicative smile !
Schön, dich zu sehen. Toll, dass du den Mut aufgebracht hast. 😊
You are doing amazing. You are changing your life and that takes a long time and so many give up. I’m so glad you made your channel and bring us along. Thanks for sharing your beautiful smile.❤
The living room looks great, and so do you 🎉. It's quite an accomplishment that the living room could be tidied up in one day. It will keep getting easier.😊
Mira, I was so happy to see that you uploaded another video! I really enjoyed your narration, as usual💗. I LOVE the way you decorated your living room with pink and gray, it looks beautiful. I love watching your pups, and so glad that Lisa is coming by to help. Thank you for sharing your life with us, your beautiful smile, and encouraging us to keep peeling away the clutter. Also, you have some adorable designs on the T shirts I was admiring them on your merch page.💗💗💗💗💗

That was a big step taking off the mask! I'm so so proud of you!! You have a lovely smile and it made me smile too! I'm also glad to hear that Colt is coming along
I’m so proud of you for starting a clean up, asking for help, sharing with us, and making progress! 🎉
Aaaaaah so nice to see your whole face! And I love the new curtains, they make the room look more cheerful.
I think it's great that Lisa comes regularly to do deep cleaning. My husband and I arguably have no excuses to not clean ourseleves and we have a cleaner come every other week. It helps so much!
Hi MIRA, what a beautiful smile you have and now we get to see it more. You've come so far and your processing skills are developing all the time. You should be so proud of yourself, we all are 😊 x
Awesome job....nice to put a voice to your face.❤
I’m proud of you!
Mira, thank you for the gift of your lovely smile! Your living room looks so pretty too! I always look forward to your videos and seeing what’s new with you. 💕
Thank you for trusting us, you are a charming lady and your voice is so tender, often I watch your videos to relax and rest !!
❤❤❤❤ very nice to meet you!!!!!
I smiled right along with you at the end! Happy to see your beautiful smile!
On the water bottles, I've actually always looked at it and thought, wow, great that she's getting hydrated with water, rather than soda or something else, that's much more common to see scattered on floors, but even though it's accumulating at least the contents are healthy :) This is the first video I watch after my binge watch ended, I watched the entire channel from start to finish and just finished yesterday! I've actually never done that before. Your videos have helped me get motivation and confidence to tackle some of the more difficult spots that I've been procrastinating. Especially the scrap book room declutter series, because of the type of item it was, I have a large enamel pin collection that was sitting in drawers and I've put them on pin boards now and what's more, i think your videos helped me get a clear mind in regards to what to put on the board and what to leave out of it. (comment posted when I am at 18:05 in the video, watching the rest now ;) )
Hi Mira. For you tarot cards have you tried to reach to the space between the cushions of your sofa ? When my kids were little i used to find "treasures" between the seat and the arm of our sofa and under the seats. You have a beautifull smile
Oh yes! The treasure hunt in the folds and spaces in the couch. Where we wondered where those items went!
Your living room looks wonderful! I love your new decor!! So nice to see you feeling confident enough to peel off your mask! ❤
Mira!!! You have a beautiful smile that matches your cheery disposition perfectly ❤ thank you for always being you and showing real life at a real pace and for having the courage to allow yourself to be you ❤
Thanks Wendy, this is what I was going to say. Mira, you are a beautiful person inside and out, and your laugh gets me through tough moments, thank you for being you ❤❤❤❤
😮 I was very surprised you took your mask off!! So brave of you, congrats 👏. And the living room looks beautiful ❤. As for keeping it cleaner, my suggestion is every time you go to the kitchen you take some trash with you. I have to make myself do that too.
8:29 what if you got a small side table to have next to you, perpendicular to your scrapbook table, that is a “guilt free clutter zone?” So basically you can feel free to clutter that space up as needed, and then you have a dedicated space to declutter when it gets full?
May I also add that we need more people like you in the world. You have such a kind soul which you are so brave to share with the rest of us. It’s people like YOU that make the internet a better place to connect with others. It’s people like YOU that our new AI can learn compassion from so that maybe it can understand how important we all are to each other. It’s people like you that bring such graceful humanity to this digital world we share. I only found you about a month ago, but you have inspired me so much to begin my own decluttering journey after four bouts of Covid and a year and a half of down time from long COVID. The fatigue and memory loss was a real challenge to overcome. I could only do so much in a day.
Thanks for sharing your lovely smile with us. Glad you did it for you, and not because of any pressure by some comments out there. Thank you for spreading peace, kindness, and your home with us. Please never forget to be kind to yourself too! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for your lovely comment!
Mira you are beautifuI,Iam so glad that you have peeled away your mask !❤
Oh Mira! That took some real bravery. Hopefully it’s comfortable for you on multiple levels!
Eleven months in - I humbly suggest you do something to mark your one year anniversary. It doesn’t need to be for us - but something where you can see how far you’ve come and hopefully be able to rest a little easier than a year ago.
How lovely to see your face lovely lady and you now feel comfortable, keep up the great work!❤
I am so happy to see your beautiful SMILE !!! Love the results and the seeing the sweet doggies .
Awesome smile! So glad you feel comfortable enough to show us!
A wonderful smile with a happy heart. Hello Mira!
