Message of the Day CHOOSE MORE, NOT LESS Sure we know we need to get rid of a lot of stuff. But letting go of things can make us feel deprived, sad, or angry.

In this case, LESS in the house and life is definitely MORE in quality of life. -------------------------------------- 2.

She took up putting everything that belonged to someone in on their desk or dresser - and that included the trash. When they asked what it was doing there, she smiled angelically and said "I was going to throw it out, but I thought you might need it." Let's just say it didn't take very long to get the message across.(g) -------------------------------------- 7. Extra Help Does your clutter secret keep you isolated?
