How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I moved to New York City, and live far enough away from my office that the only practical form of transportation to and from work every day is the subway. After a few weeks of completely-freaked-out riding, I started to relax and get used to just another everyday occurrence. Read how I did it…

joyful
How I did it: I started by looking at the stuff in my life -- and boy was there a lot. I come from a long line of pack-ratters, have a large family that likes giving presents, and am magpieish by nature so I had accumulated vast quantities of stuff.
