so so many things...at what point do you say enough is enough, no more, no thank you please...i understand and deeply appreciate loving people in our life that choose to spoil children rottenly and thankful that there were those who have finally caught on that we are not in need...we do not need anything...we have been consumed by rooms packed full of toys, clothes and anything else that can possibly been given to a person...
it has taken me 4 hours, 4 hours to sit and go through one small childs room...plastic toys are going bye bye so those beautiful wooden toys that have been long buried deep by commercialized weapons that destruct their little minds...can actually come out and play once more...as they used to....
i am thankful today for my sweet friend who has offered to help me deliver a monsterous amount of bags and boxes to a society for children...so so many are without and here were are overflowing and yet they still feel they need for more...sad isn't it...we always want more yet never being content with what we already have...what we already spent money on...what was gifted to us...what we already own...NOW IS TIME FOR THE CHANGE...IS IT WANT OR NEED...PLEASE CLARIFY BEFORE BUYING! my mama motto for now on ; ) oh poor sweet children...watch out!
all this stuff...i walk in circles half well most of the time just creating mounds...mounds to donate..mounds to sell..and slowly i have created mountains of stuff ready to erupt in a fierce explosion...just stuff that is making me want to pull my hair out...why not just start...start one room at a time...focus...awh so hard...because then i jump to purging another area...but i am happy to say 4 hours later...even though you could hardly tell by looking at ones room...i have a gazillion bags and boxes to give freely away...give happily away...why hold onto things that cause such disarray when someone else could reap the gifts far more! if we weren't consumed by so much we would have time to do so many wonderful joyous things rather than worry about cleaning...everything would have its own happy home and life would be just dandy...well onto the kitchen i have now neglected due to consumtion of one small childs TOYS... oh and maybe lunch might due me some good....
"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."
- brandi
- if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

my beliefs include many, constantly seeking knowledge, not needing one particular label that defines me nor trying to justify my thoughts to anyone else but me...this is my life and i am living it my way...bringing happiness to my inner soul.

Knowing the difference between NEEDING something and WANTING something is the difference between a conscious consumer and a mindlessly addicted overconsumer. It's one of the most important (soul) survival skills we need to have in our society. Your kids will thank you someday for teaching them the difference.
My 4 yo has recently begun telling me that he "NEEDS" things. Ha! I am int he process of trimming down everything we own. I hate having so much "stuff" that I can't even breathe.
De-cluttering and giving away -- great way to start the New Year!
You're scaring this dear sweet friend with pictures of bags tied to the roof of her Volvo :)
See ya in the am!
