Major De-cluttering Today

Hooray! Today, my favorite local charity came to collect the results of my post-move decluttering session, which I've been diligently working on for the last few weeks. Unnecessary furninture, knicknacks, pictures (the kind you hang on the wall, not photographs), clothing, our wedding china, etc....it all went, and what a difference it's made!

It was hard to say goodbye to a few things, but it feels so good to have the space to pursue our new life in our new house without all the baggage we've been hauling around the country. We've moved three times in four years from one coast to the other, and it's true what they say: three moves is as good as a fire.

We've been incredibly blessed in our lives, and it was wonderful to pass on a portion of our abundance to those who dearly need it.

So, anyway, I thought I'd pass on a word of encouragement to those of you who are engaged in the same process. Keep at it. It's so worth it.

~Great job! Sometimes my mind just fights me on things I know I should get rid of. But once I let go I realize it was just in my mind and I feel so free with the stuff gone! Thanks for the encouragement!~

I need to do that too. I'm doing the Fall Fling Challenge, and am at about 100/1000 but I have a long way to go. My goal this weekend to get everything out of the house and on to goodwill or wherever. That way it's not still in a box in the house. I have a habit of great intentions, and then driving the stuff around in my car for weeks!
