• Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui, by Karen Kingston. To me, this really is not a book about Feng Shui. This book helps you see how your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual clutter is all related, and provides you tools and motivation to open your life!!! Several years ago I had six people recommend this book to me in two weeks. A MUST READ! Another great book by the same author is Creating Sacred Space With Feng Shui: Learn the Art of Space Clearing and Bring New Energy into Your Life.

• FreeCycle: This non-profit organization's mission is to keep stuff out of your local landfill. This site provides you a link to a local FreeCycle group. Use this organization to "Offer" (give away for free) anything you have that still has usefulness. You make an offer with info about what you have, whether or not it needs repair, and a general location of where you want somebody to pick up the item. Via email you choose who you want to give your item to, and how you want to them to get it. I put it on my front porch with their name on it. Ideas of things I have given away and kept out of my landfill:
  
  
  • empty 40 pound kitty litter buckets (great for gardening, organizing stuff, etc.)
  • empty Aunt Jeni's 1 pound plastic raw food containers (again great for organizing things)
  • vacuum cleaner bags for a vacuum cleaner I no longer owned
