A place for everything?


“The trouble with, "A place for everything and everything in its place" is that there's always more everything than places.”

― Robert Brault

 If you find that there is always more everything than places, then, it’s time to get to work. With the change of the seasons I always sense a desire to throw out the old to make room for the new.  I have found the most efficient way to start a deep spring cleaning is to make hard decisions…and three piles.

1. Keep

2. Give away

3. Toss

 Ask yourself the following questions about items that are in the way of your vacuum cleaner; Have I used it worn it or admired it over the last year? Has it been replaced by a newer model? Is it in disrepair? Could someone less fortunate use it?

 Once you have your 3 piles, take them off to their final resting place ASAP. Whether it is the local good will, the garage for the sale or an area waiting for pick up, out of site is the surest way to keep your commitments. The longer this stuff is within your reach, the greater the chance your ‘keep’ pile will grow!

Living a natural and healthy lifestyle is an investment in your future.

 Reducing clutter and eliminating chemicals from your life will extend and enrich your life as well as those around you and help to create a stress free life. Do it for you and do it for all who we share this earth with.

 Go to http://www.charitynavigator.org/ to decide where you will donate your unwanted or un-needed items. There are some organizations that will come to you for your unwanted items, big or small.

Plan a garage sale with your neighbors or family. Not only can you make some extra cash, you are helping out people in your community who cannot afford the everyday items that we take for granted.
