Earlier this week I was having a similar conversation with a friend about how I always feel so stressed about whether my house is tidy enough or not. Which is what brought on the thoughts of purging -- both from my space and from my thoughts! Yeah, definitely something in the air! Love it! Leah, that’s a really interesting realization.

So cool that we're all getting the same message. In fact, this whole thread inspired my <a href="http://www.abundancebymagic.com/2009/11/13/my-fourth-recipients-a-little-help-for-some-holiday-helpers/" rel="nofollow">new post</a>, and my next round of recipients (YOU!). Mel: Wow, sympatico! Leah: I love that you're getting rid of that "must be tidy" pattern. I have half a dozen like that I'd love to weed out. Wow, there really is something in the air!

You may have been talking to me! :D I just love this post! I have a lot of clutter to clear out, but I also have a few old emotional patterns that no longer serve me that I am ready to clear out too. I realized I have this tricky pattern that told me that I am a good person if the house is clean and I am doing the cleaning and working really hard at it, and that I am a bad person if I choose to do something else instead and the house isn't clean. Isn't that silly? I'm so ready to GET RID OF that! And the clutter too. :D It’s so strange, I just had a wonderful epiphany about this subject yesterday in my therapy session!

Something must be in the air, because I have been feeling this as well. In fact, here's what I posted as my Facebook status before heading to bed last night: "What are you holding onto that no longer serves you? What are you willing to release today to free up room for more good in your life?" Love it!! Something must be in the air, because I have been feeling this as well.

I took an hour or so and cleared out a few shelves, and got rid of a bunch of vcr tapes, many still unopened. It was fun! There's still plenty more to do, and I'm all charged up. Tanya -- Shakespearean is just a perfect description for her. It's funny, after I wrote about it, I thought "wow, this is too fantastical sounding, no one will believe it!" -- then I realized it was SO fantastical, how could I ever have made it up? :D The other thought I had, as I went through my cupboards, was what if we all applied the "get rid of it" philosophy to our thoughts and beliefs, too. Can you imagine if we tossed out all thoughts that were neither useful nor beautiful? Take self-criticism, for example. Is that useful? Heck no. Beautiful? Not even close. So boom, out it goes. Next! What would our lives me like, with only useful and beautiful thoughts?! Fodder for another post one day, methinks... I glad this resonated with so many of you.

Just before I took a break to read this post, I was cleaning out my office and getting rid of things. I love it! On Sunday, when I filled a huge garbage bag full of clothes then looked back in my closet (which is very full) I consciously thought, "What could feel MORE abundant, than giving away a ton of clothes and still having a full closet of ones I adore?"

I totally got rid of 2 big garbage bags of stuff from my fridge and pantry this morning!! It felt FABULOUS!! And next I'm tackling closets. I was just saying that November is good month to get rid of stuff ~ I seem to always do this! And I agree~ Get rid of it to make room for the new. And I also agree that to get more $$ in your life, give some away ~ even just a little and especially when you feel you "can't." Works every time. Wow!
