I’ve been working on getting rid of stuff left and right around our place, but it seems like it’s a daily thing. Everywhere I look there’s just too much STUFF! I feel like I can’t breathe and I can’t wait until I get the bulk of the excess out of here. I’ve even got a storage unit that I’m going through and cleaning out; out of sight, out of mind. Most of that stuff I don’t need/don’t use/so why am I paying to store it?! Simple is SO much better!

I would never give away books though, even though they take up a lot of space. Books are knowledge and I often revisted them.

Didn’t know you were a triathlete! I’ll see if I have any other spare equipment laying around and let u know!

My bike has been collecting dust….haven’t ridden in a few years (well, unless you count riding to the Red Hook Brewery for a few beers!).

Thanks for the inspiring post Ravi!

She slowly is. She does feel liberated by doing it. But she is emotionally attached to items whereas I am not.

I maintain a certain level. If I receive a book, item of clothing or whatever I get rid of one. Therefore I keep the same comfortable amount of things.

Keep going!!

We got rid of so much stuff last year (mainly books, clothes, and things in the attic) and haven’t regretted it at all. I feel so much better having done it.
