As I've taken a month off from the blog thinking one year would do, I am currently seeing things around my house and asking myself, "Why do I still have this? What good is it doing other than taking up space?" There is obviously more to do in my home, and probably in yours, so I'm back.
The goal of this blog is to encourage people to get rid of one item per day in order to simplify their lives. Stuff, taking care of it, buying it, agonizing over it, cleaning it, storing it, robs us of time we could use for enjoying life and making a difference in others' lives or our community. So, every day I will be writing about something I've rid my house of or an organization tip to make "life" more simple. Join me on another journey!To get started, get a bin or box labeled "give away" so you have a spot to fill up with items you can get rid of. A trash can is also a good thing for items no one else would ever want.
My item to toss today was a tinted lip balm I bought on a trip last fall. It was something I needed at the time for my chapped lips, but after using it a few times, I disliked the color and hated the taste! It was still hanging out in my purse. Though it cost more than some (when you're a tourist sometimes you have to pay more for necessities), I decided to throw it away rather than feeling I should use an expensive, nasty product.
