I really needed to see all the clothes I owned to identify those I really loved. I respectfully thanked and said good by to the rest and I felt energized. I am happy to share those clothes with others who can love them more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-63692217931245708392015-02-25T21:34:06.463+00:002015-02-25T21:34:06.463+00:00It seems like an inspiring book.

It’s good to know that the tricks you got from it actually worked for you.

Does this person never buy anything ever again? I did agree with " be ruthless". If you are a person who holds on to stuff, you are never going to reach your goal if you can talk yourself out of giving things away. Instead of saying" I'm going to start and de-clutter" ...just do it. Its actually very liberating.Caz.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11206843820602358144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-63134101992767303892015-02-03T14:09:12.983+00:002015-02-03T14:09:12.983+00:00I don't really comment but I've been read...I don't really comment but I've been reading your posts for some time and they've really helped with mindfulness and starting to de-clutter.

I remember so vividly when my father died everything seemed so unreal without his presence but I learned that he is always with me in my heart and thoughts.<br />Thank you for summarising Marie Kondo's book. It's always good to hear other ideas about de-cluttering and like the statement about discarding first and not being distracted by storage methods.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233631855574286076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-44529892028509904572015-02-03T00:19:42.089+00:002015-02-03T00:19:42.089+00:00Jill,

I liked your take on things. I've been simplifying my life and posessions now for 3 years, which has been a bit of a challenge with a home here in the US and in the UK. Retirement is just a few years away and then we will live full time in Devon. I have found that although I have minimized drastically, I still have retained items for the future abroad. In reality, I know many things are different such as electrics and mattress/linen sizes. I didn't think I had saved anything "just in case" until I read your overview. My subconscious mind isn't yet a minimalist! Looks like I still have some work to do :) Love to you and your family during this difficult time. Thank you for taking your time to post and share with us.

Otherwise it may never get done. I think from your list #2, 3, 6, and 14 were the most meaningful for me. I have done my whole house and got rid of tons of stuff. I still go through once a week and clear away or give away things. However, being a book lover there is no way 30 books would ever be enough for me.

I loved the idea of asking if an item has already fulfilled its purpose and then being able to let it go if it has (I found this to be true in the category of books I think I'll read but haven't yet...I've had the chance, but have chosen to read other things instead). And the simple question..."Does this bring me joy?" is a great one to ask.Jill Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919221814694982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-68857990875857230172015-02-02T16:10:32.833+00:002015-02-02T16:10:32.833+00:00I read this book at the end of last year, it's...I read this book at the end of last year, it's really quite an unusual book I think. Quite radical! Can we really do that?!....I've reached another stalling point I think. I like the idea of holding something and seeing if it sparks joy, I must remember to do that. Funnily enough some of the things I find hardest to let go of are the things I brought by mistake. All the things that were never used or the wrong size!
