I'm on a journey to simplifying. I'm overwhelmed with the amount of stuff. Reminds me of a scripture (whether you believe or not); "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Matthew 6:21 I do not want my heart focused on STUFF. Wonderful video and instructions. Thank you. New subscriber. YAY

The Bible tells something similar:
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes? (Ecclesiastes 5:11, KJV)

“Spend more time caring for yourself and less time trying to decide how.” Brilliant! 💡

A friend (sadly, now deceased), was moving. She had a huge home full of decor items for every season and holiday. She offered me boxes of stuffed animals and
silk flowers. I took one small stuffed bear in a Halloween costume. She also had roomsful of craft items, clothing, and more. Mutual friends and family took what
they wanted. There was still plenty for 2 garage sales and charity donations. Tina, Al's wife
