I have just started reading your book "Clutter Busting" and can't put it down. It is something that is very close to my heart as I believe in letting go of things.
I always say, "The more you have, the more you have to worry about."
I'm happy to have found your blog and will define visit again.
I hope you're having a wonderful holiday too! My daughter was going to a clothing swap last night and she asked if I had anything I wanted her to take. I found several things that I had strangely overlooked the last few times I'd been through my closet. I gave them to her immediately. Then I saw a peach colored sweater. I had worn it several times a few years ago. I tried it on. I said, "I could still wear this. I'll keep it." But as I did, I heard your voice saying, "look at your face - that's not a joyful face." I immediately took it off and said, "This doesn't bring me joy. I'm giving it away." I felt really good. There were lots of clothes that were just ready to go! I looked in my closet when we were through, and it felt like my closet was able to breathe for the first time in a long, long time! Thank you for all your posts and all your kind help. (I love your post about giving a deluxe couponer for a present! I want to do that too!) With love, D
I hope you are having a very good holiday, too, Brooks! Love to you and your family! Mary Canfield

Sheetal, it's good to meet you!
Yes, clutter creates worry. When the clutter goes, you get peace.
