When we clear out stuff, we make room for people.   http://www.imperfecthomemaking.com/2011/10/31-days-to-organized-home-day-one.html This is not a new topic to the 365.  :)  Obviously, however, it is one of my most favorite topics! I love clearing out stuff that we haven't touched, used, thought about in 6 months or more.  In fact, I'm getting ready to go through some tubs again and see what we can get out of our home because it is taking up space. My house isn't a place where stuff is takes precedence over people but I practice keeping our material possessions to a minimum because I don't ever want it to get to a place where it does.  When I watch shows like "Hoarders" and see how family members and friends don't feel welcome and feel pushed out of their loved ones life because of stuff I feel sad.  How tragic to send the message that this thing (whatever it may be) is more important than a spouse or someone else who loves you. This got me ...
