simplify my life

I’m embarrassed to say that I got rid of HALF of the contents of my closet..but I love it! I can now see clearly what I have, know that everything fits, and don’t have to scramble to find stuff out of a pile crumpled on the floor. This is truly a situation where “less is more!” I was only wearing about 20% of my wardrobe anyway…so this is great!

and sell it online and/or donate it to a place locally that helps out families that can’t afford their own curriculum.

I know…very drastic…especially for a writer, but I realized that I could get by with just the upright stand on my desk for current projects and the small file drawer in my desk for business files. Any tax stuff, I put in the downstairs filing cabinet in the storage room. I feel so much freer…and now I can actually see out of my office window! Spring is coming!!!

I probably wouldn’t have ordered this but I was supporting my son’s magazine fundraising drive for school. It sounded interesting, although adding another magazine subscription to my list certainly isn’t helping me to simplify much! I do think it has some nice content for future vision boards though!
