The beautiful moon is waninng, and this is the time to RELEASE.
Release stuff! Think of the 80/20 rule.....we use 20% of what we own, and the other 80% is just cluttering up our lives.
One of my big projects is all my books. I buy books all the time. I leave the thrift store with 5-10 books on a regular basis.
Where do I put all these books, you ask?
Good question.
In piles. All over my house. I am starting to look like a crazy hermit book lady.
The day I started sorting books, was the same day that I got home and my next door neighbor met me with a stack of books. "Wait, I have more!" she says. She returns with a box filled with books.
25 wonderful, some classic, some fabulously obscure, herbal books. Even a little wildflower pocket guide for hiking!
sigh.
I love them already. She has inspired me to be more selective with the books I keep, so I am sorting, FOR REAL, and will list the books I have for others to enjoy.
So, my Journey task for this waning moon is my books, and my junk pile, er, desk in my room with all my bills hidden in between the other pharaphanelia that ends up there.
I am sharing a photo of the shelf in my living room...this is nothing, will not post the others.
Send me a pic of your Journey task and I will post it! heikesharp (at) gmail.com

I often wonder about the 80:20 rule. If you remove 80% of your stuff, doesn't 80% of the remaining 20% become "stuff" by default?
Solomon, great thought :). I guess if you continue to whittle it down with the 80/20 rule, it will eventually be you & your toothbrush......
How goes the book sorting?
Are you having an online sale?
Inspired, I de-cluttered my "art" desk in my bedroom. I've already completed several little projects with my DD Persephone!! It looks so GREAT and I feel such a relief, I've decided to de-clutter MY bookshelf as well. I've taken pics along the journey if you'd like them. Just tell me how!!
♥Thank You♥
I will list the books here and on my Facebook page at
www.facebook.com/thegoddessinthegroove
I will give them away to good hands :).
Persephone's Queen: That is FABULOUS! Letting go is soul lifting, isn't it?
Email me your pics, and I will post them on a follow up post. LOVE IT!! Sending you some more de-clutter power....
Hi Heike!
If I had to make the choice between clothes and books I would be one naked woman.
Who needs clothes to read a book?
LOL!
Clearing out books....that would be a very hard thing to do. I admire your willpower.
Good Luck!

Oh Lois, I am not all that good :).
"Being good isn't always easy, no matter how hard I try....."
I still have so much to do. I am such a whimp. I have found books that I did not know I have anymore, or two copies of the same book! I have given a bunch away to friends who I know will enjoy them. I have listed a "list" on my Facebook (I should put up a revised copy here....) for any takers, and I just bought 5 more at a fabulous bookstore in Berkeley!! LOL. It is an addiction, but this girl just can't help herself......
