    KEEP IT SIMPLE!! I am making room in my life for AWESOMENESS to come rushing in by simplifying and discarding what we don’t use, what doesn’t work and what can help someone else. Also am greening it up and eating healthier. Really could use a master teacher to reach these goals! Thank you!!

    I’d love to KEEP IT SIMPLE! But I fear it’s not in my DNA (both parents are total clutter bugs) I’d definitely like to clear out my closet and all the extra stuff in my house – you know the box(es) of random things that don’t have a home and keep multiplying?!

    KEEP IT SIMPLE!

    I am really inspired by minimalism and people who live minimalistic lifestyles (ever hear about that guy who counted all of his possessions and never had more than 100 items? Forks, soap, electronics, clothing, books, he counted everything!) Not matter how much I give away I still have too much. So I think it’s fair to say every area of my life could benefit from a good purge.

    Let’s see – it might be easier to list what isn’t complicated in my life… that would be… um… well, the cat loves me. And my relationship with my hubbie is not complicated. Things that are complicated? The new house we moved into 3 days ago (need space!!!), the yard (a jungle!), and my thoughts on what I want to be when I grow up (need a mission and purpose and to find my passion!)…
