Feng Shui and Stuff
sentimental, collector or just plain stuck
"Whether we’re aware of it or not, clutter stresses us out. It not only takes up space in our physical environments, but it also, and maybe even more importantly, greatly affects our mental state. Clutter sucks the energy right out of us and leaves us feeling chaotic, frustrated, distracted, and even guilty. It makes it hard for us to focus or process information because of all the visual stimuli competing for our attention. And forget about relaxing: everywhere we look, clutter is reminding us of all the things we have to get done, and it takes a fair amount of effort to keep track of all of our stuff. In feng shui, clutter represents stuck energy."

We have talked about clutter before. Simply put: It. Keeps. You. Stuck.

Karen Kingston, clutter expert, talks about clutter blindness in this fascinating piece, likening it to "looked by failed to see," a major cause of road accidents.

Final Thoughts: What Your Kids Really Want You to Save
From Joan Law - who seamlessly combines Feng Shui, clutter clearing + downsizing and end of life planning...
"What your kids really want you to save as you begin to downsize your life might surprise you. Especially in a throw away culture. Gone are the days where items are passed down to the young married couple just starting out.
