I've been reading Miss Minimalist'...Awesome! I've been reading Miss Minimalist's blog for a while, but haven't gotten her books. My fave is Brooks Palmer's Clutter Busting book (and his blog, looking forward to his new book). Maybe I'll get inspired by your efforts. I feel like I'm in a phase of shedding in all areas of my life - trying to shake off and rid myself of what I don't love, don't need, don't use, what doesn't serve me, what I cling to, what's holding me back. Thanks for another nudge. Good luck w/ the garage sale and all the various ways of moving stuff out your world into someone else's (where it might be used, loved, appreciated).MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023439892198039562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-564320103182128232012-05-11T14:12:51.674-06:002012-05-11T14:12:51.674-06:00This sounds awesome.

The second time I read it, trying to actually apply more of it, I got so frustrated by my husband's pack-ratty nature and complete inability to a) let go of anything and b) resist a bargain (or "bargain") that I gave up. You, on the other hand, sound like you have a solid plan and spousal backing. Total recipe for success.Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-88385752162195610272012-05-11T13:40:13.241-06:002012-05-11T13:40:13.241-06:00I was JUST telling my mom that I am de-crapping my...I was JUST telling my mom that I am de-crapping my house this summer. It has gotten out of hand <i>once again</i>. <br /><br />I will check out The Joy of Less <b>blog</b>, as I DO NOT need to add another damn book to the pile of 14 (yes, 14) on my nightstand alone. Seriously? Who needs 14 books on their damn nightstand? I can just see the fisheye lens Hoarders camera shot of my cat sitting on the pile of books looking both disapproving and pathetic.RBRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193497073393160994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-39485917770835156542012-05-11T11:59:32.534-06:002012-05-11T11:59:32.534-06:00(delurking, briefly). I love your posts - there...(delurking, briefly). I love your posts - there's always something in them that resonates with me, and the timing of this one was particularly apt. I have been going home nightly for the last two weeks and finding *something* to leave the house, whether as garbage or as donation. But it's nice to have another prod to do so. And I'll definitely have to check out the Joy of Less.laughing starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116546534882682654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-62012877769521667602012-05-11T11:58:03.190-06:002012-05-11T11:58:03.190-06:00Love The Joy Of Less.

The first thing I decide to put in said bag controls whether it is a "trash" bag or a "Goodwill" bag. I then proceed to go through the entire house and add something, anything, from each room to the bag. There's always something. I may go do this right now. Thanks for the reminder. It always feels nice to carry that bag outside.pensive pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228801550471279348noreply@blogger.com
