Is life a cluttered jumble of stuff? Spilling out of every corner of your being? If the answer is yes, clear one shelf - only one - start with a tiny corner and see what it feels like....of course this works for your soul and for your environment. Sometimes you will be shocked at what you have been holding on to! I have never been much of a clutter-bug, but it still surprises me what stuff I have been hoarding. Less is more, it really is! Try it.
Happy weekend.

I have that wonderful book and am so delighted that I will be going on the Redfox retreat this October. You're so right that less us more but I just never manage to make that happen!
So true....had an old PC that is a dinosaur that we have been talking about (for several years!) getting rid of. Went up into that junk room (had it 3/4 dug out until hubby dumped more stuff in there - grrr) to find something. Once we found it, we decided to pull/dig out the tower, the monitor, the keyboard, the printer, the ancient scanner......just with those few things out, off the desk and the shelves, amazing what a difference it has made!
What's really wonderful is when you start doing this and discover that the space left behind is more valuable than whatever was in it. And I can tell I'm getting old when I look at my mismatched dinnerware and think: good enough till I die.
Less is more, so true! That's been the motto here as hubby & have been doing a year-long de-clutter and spruce up at home. A life lived richly with less appeals. Have Less, Do More is one of my guide phrases for the year. :o) Happy Days, Raina ((HUGS))
Such great advice and I SO need to follow it. I'm feeling buried lately by all the clutter. It would help if I didn't love beautiful things - must learn to look and not touch!
Good advice Raina. Several years ago, (read post divorce), I read a book called Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life. It was a simple Feng Shui type of book. The main premise was too much clutter makes you fat, ill, broke and unhappy. While I’m not sure I subscribe to this particular discipline, I do know that a good few garbage bags of stuff out of the closets, kitchen and office and in the car headed to the Charity shop feel damn good. I pull the book out once in a while and reread it.
Dear Raina, how nice to find your blog again. (I am not sure if you remember me from my knitting blog years ago but you once sent me a lovely Koigu book)I will enjoy catching uop on your posts. I have decided to blog again so that I use my camera once in a while. :)
