I came across these two articles on Beliefnet that I found meaningful. Simple, yet profound ways to clear your Spirit and your space. :)

A Fresh Start for the New Year: Clearing your space and consciousness will help you become an emotionally healthier person.

and,

Just Clean Your Room: Cleanliness is not just next to Godliness – it's also good for your health!
--By Nancy Santopietro, an expert in feng shui

We're starting a New Year. Maybe these suggestions will help... :) If anyone tries any of these, please share with us your process and comments!

oooh! Here's my chance to put a plug in for "the cause"! LOL.

Besides the good feeling you get from cleaning out your space, you may consider the good karma you can get from freecycling it. Instead of contributing to the landfill, you can offer up your unwanted stuff to others in the community - for free. I really love the feeling I get by meeting someone & seeing the appreciation they have for something I just don't need anymore. And it's AMAZING what others want/can use! Someone recently offered a can of bacon fat - and it was pretty quickly taken by someone who makes her own soaps! Who'd a thunk?

So if you're not already a member of your local group, think about it. It's free & easy....and any questions, ask me. I love this concept so much I moderate the group for our county!
