I think that is so wonderful idea. My church did something like that, we put a bunch of stuff together, things like a gas card, snacks, bottle of water, toothbrush, toothpaste, a warm crocheted neck scarf amongst other things. We put all of these things in a Big baggie. Then we placed them in our cars and when we ran across someone Who needed a helping hand. Then we will give it to them. And there were notes in their living room know what church we went to and have a get a hold of someone if they need it . But I think that’s an even better idea, putting them in an old handbag. Because it just looks nicer than a plane old baggie…that was just a great tip…

Hey Wendy, I am so glad to have motivated you…even if just a little bit. Sometimes we all just need a wee kick in the butt.

And your suggestion is a great one. I know my church also collects clothing and such for those in need. Thanks for reminding me.

So, how is your decluttering going? I’d love for you to pop back in and let me know how it is going.

Wishing you a great weekend.

Hugs, Lynn

This article has been a motivator for me…so thank you! One suggestion I have is if the shoes are in decent condition, why not check with local churches to see if they donate them to others in need. For instance, my sister’s church donates shoes to kids in Haiti. God blesses those who help the poor and needy.?

Mary, I’m beginning to believe we are twins separated at birth! I’m really motivated to get rid of stuff, but more importantly, my husband has bought into the deal. That’s a critical piece. He’s so competitive that I think he’s seeing how much weight we can take out. We’re actually heading to his office today…which has been off limits for the past 10 years! I’m giddy with excitement.
Happy Sunday, Lynn

Lynn you are doing great! I eliminated some things from one of the bathrooms but now after reading this I’ll go back with a more ruthless eye! Ha, I also have a a pair of painting clothes for each day of the week. – told ya, we’re twins. I really need to get rid of those, I try to use them as rags, because it’d be impossible to donate them. I also have another collection of wornout clothes which are “farm clothes” because you don’t want to go to the farm in your everyday wear. Slowly but surely I will fight the clutter along with you!!

In reply to @Dayngr. Your suggestion on keeping some toiletries in my car for someone I might see along the way is a fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing it and for visiting today. Lynn

That’s pretty amazing! Great tips and you did a great job. I’d add keeping a few of those hotel toiletries in an old purse or bag and keep them in your car if you’d like to give them to a homeless person along your drive.

I know you are a minimalist at heart, so you don’t have nearly has much stuff to get rid of as I do. But the stuff does creep up on us, doesn’t it. But both my husband and I are so motivated this time. He’s a numbers guy, so he is really driven to drive up the weight of the stuff we’re taking out of the house. I have piles all over my room going to different places. We are taking several of Terry’s old suits to an organization for veterans who are now entering the work force. Love that they will be put to good use.

And thanks for the compliment…got that gold belt for Christmas!?

Kisses friend, Lynn
