I will be in on this. Just in the last few months, I have given myself permission to either donate or throw things away. It is crazy some of the things I keep..a lid that I have not seen the bowl to in months or socks I cannot find the mate to. And I must say, it feels good.
I like the idea of offering back to people things they gave me or asking if their feelings would be hurt if I give it to charity.
Last summer I started in my closet. I am sort of separating my clothes and putting things I wear on another rack from things I am not ever wearing. This summer I will get rid of anything I have not worn in a year.
My biggest deal is cleaning out toys and children's books. I have already decided to offer books to doctor's offices and books and toys to Ronald McDonald houses or womens' shelter. Some women's shelters also take clothes because so many just have to grab their kids and run in the middle of the night or at a moment's notice so they have the clothes on their backs and nothing else.
