Living with Less - Decluttering

Decluttering ..

I calculated - last month was my 17th move in my life that barley crossed 40!
Somehow, this time the move was tougher, and my husband and I were puzzled.
This is a slightly bigger place, 2 bedroom apartment, with 2 toilets vs my previous place that was 1 bedroom, 1 toilet. So why is it i couldn't find a "home" for everything?

We figured .. this place doesn't have a store room, and that's where we hid the things we didn't want to face, and the things we didn't assign a "home" for.

Now, we have to face it, there is no store room to sweep things under the carpet - so to speak.

Keeping a neat and clean place is so crucial to help the house flow with the right energy. It brings light and brightens the place, raises our energy vibrations.

On my facebook i chanced upon this blogger who writes about living minimally. I think it is something we can subscribe to. As I continue to face my ghosts from the previous house store room, I had to give away things that I thougt once precious - the Osim massage chair, the spiffy new blender that I would be using for the next party, and today, I plan to give up my wedding dresses that I wore 13years ago.

Could I live without them - yes. It wasn't that painful parting with them knowing that living in a uncluttered environment is better for my husband and myself.

But I am still struggling to give away my books, those books that I haven't read, or books I planned to read again. But when the push comes to shove, the moment will come where I really keep the precious few printed paper.

With end of year not too far away, if you feel so inspired to declutter and let go.. here's a blog you can get a few tips from: http://www.becomingminimalist.com/unclutter-books/
