One reason I feel so strongly about what I do is because I believe that everything is energy and that we are so affected by our surroundings. Even though my husband and I purge our belongings every chance we get, we had a spare room that is rarely used but housed many of my husband's things and a few of my daughters things that we hadn't made decisions on yet.
We have a friend coming to stay for a short time and needed to completely clear out that room. This afforded us the opportunity to litterally look at each item and make a decision. Needless to say, I'll be taking one carload of stuff to donation, I put a few items on Craigslist, and was able to toss a few items into the garbage. In addition to clearing out the 'stuff' I vaccumed and dusted the entire upstairs. The sun was shining and I had opened the windows for most of the day to let the fresh spring air in.
After coming home from a party last night, I could feel the difference in the house. It was lighter! The energy of our home was lighter. I asked my husband if he could tell how much lighter the house was. He couldn't. It was only me... because I'm so sensitive to my surroundings.
If you are sensitive to your surroundings or affected by your 'stuff' you might enjoy a good spring cleaning yourself! More on this soon....
