There are so many ways to begin the New Year, but human nature often brings us back to the same ones: health, diet, weight, exercise and clutter. Here is an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer about clutter. Give it a look and come back to the blog. I am happy to say that I am mentioned in the article as well…
Welcome back.
Clutter is such a downer for so many reasons. It literally gets in our way and weighs us down. It sucks energy out of us, mocks us and is emotionally debilitating. The practice of Feng Shui understands the energy of space especially when folks need to change the stressful energy of the chaotic space they live in. Have you ever written a check for a bill and when it came to put it in the mailbox you couldn’t find it? Anywhere? Do you know where your lipstick is? How abou thte dog's leash? How long does it take you to leave your house because you can’t find your keys?
I have all sorts of theories as to why people hold on to clutter but let’s focus on action today and get it outta here.
Select your first clutter-reduction project on any one of the following parameters:
1. Which area is most urgent to clear
2. Which would be the easiest to start or work on
3. Which is bringing you down the most
4. What is calling to you with no logical reason
5. Where is the light shining in the smallest bit to get you started?
Now, what to do with all your stuff.

Some ideas for you:
1. Freecycle – many cities have this exchange of usable goods for free. It is awesome.
2. Recycle – find out what your area recycles. You are in special luck if they take office paper
3. Donate – to thrift shops, charities, shelters, libraries, schools.
4. Sell – eBay is a gas and craig’slist is everywhere.
