I thought Linda's article gave some wonderful suggestions on how to clear the clutter! I have two teens, and I'm sure the stuff box will not sit well with them, but it's giving me hope for getting their things out of our common areas.
I used to collect things a few years back and one day decided it meant nothing to me to have all these "things". They took up space, cluttered my mind and life. I sold almost everything on ebay and just kept a few items that had special meaning to me. We add so much additional stress to our lives by the things we think we need. It brings an amazing freedom to let go of "the stuff". The people and the relationships are what matters, not how many of what you have.
Now if I can just get rid of those boxes of Beanie Babies my daughters collected!
