Let the Simplifying Begin

It’s official … I have begun the de-cluttering process!  Fingers crossed that I can keep chipping away at it.  So far I’ve:

  • sold a box of books to Powell’s Books
  • donated 4 bags of books and one bag of assorted clothes, handbags, etc. to Goodwill
  • sorted through some of my jewelry and set aside quite a bit to give to my friend who makes jewelry, hair adornments and fascinators — she can cannibalize whatever she wants and give away or donate the rest

It’s not enough to notice a difference in my bedroom yet, but I know it’s been done and that’s what counts.  It’s not just the physical clutter that needs to be cleared out but the mental clutter as well.
