I’m all about taking stuff to Goodwill. I’m in the process of moving again, and I actually quite like weeding through things. It’s a way to literally lighten the load, but also a great way to mentally lighten as well. I grew up with a lot of pack-rat type people, and I decided not to go down that route. I once wrote a blog post called “Life in a Bag.” I was happiest when I worked between national parks and all of my possessions could fit in the trunk of my car. Even one of the movers from my last move said how little “junk” my husband and I have compared to most people they move. That, to me, was a much-appreciated complement.

Wow this is so true in my world. I really hate the hustle and bustle when it comes to my family. It is scouts, Facebook, church choir, school, etc that keeps us on our toes. I love the ban on shopping for 30 days and shutting off the world wide web. We try to do this around our household.

We make it a habit to periodically remove stuff for goodwill. What amazes me is there is always more stuff.

I am with you on this one. I have started to purge my clutter. My rule is simple; 10 things a day are removed, thrown away or given to a charity. It has been amazingly simple and I am amazed out how much I have been able to remove from our home. The other rule is when a new thing comes in 2 go out. That also has been amazingly easy to accomplish. I know in time that won’t be the case. For now it’s good.
