we do periodic purges of stuff around here. this week we tackled bookshelves. both jo and julia let a lot of books go. a couple awesome things i heard from julia as we moved through the job:
"phew. i feel so much lighter and better now." we talked about how strange it is that we can begin by thinking that there is just the good stuff here…of course we'd want to keep it all. julia is still left with lots of good stuff, but maybe it's just the best stuff with a little room to breathe.
"i just keep thinking that i want a new cello more than i want that." so smart! we were looking at items that could be sold for a little cash. a goal to work toward changes everything!

"my shelves look so much better and less cluttered now. i'm happy."
a couple of bags got dropped off for charity resale. 5 bags of books were traded for cash at half priced books. a bunch of things were listed on ebay. julia's shelves were dusted and reorganized…and look great! now for the closet… :)
what do you want more than all that stuff?
love,
jane
