Surprise hobbies! Writing and photoshoots.

Lots going on this week! But the most exciting is that I wrote an article for Optimistic Lifestyle, a life improvement blog, and it got posted today!

I'm so moved and grateful for the positive response my writing has been receiving lately. My hope has always been that what I write will inspire others to find solutions within themselves to the problems nagging at them and to show that change is possible for anyone, in any time of their life, as long as they are ready to accept it. So thank you for continuously inspiring me through encouragement!

I've been a busy little getting-rid-of-stuff bee. Until yesterday, my living room floor had been piled with the stuff to get rid of, pulled out of closets, drawers, and cupboards.

I give you: Exhibit A

 Here is a photo album of everything I am parting with, in case you're interested in perusing a bunch of my castaways.  I actually reached 102!!

 My friend, Handy, did some modelling for the countdown.

If you see something you like, my readers will get 1st priority over Ebay-ers, so let me know (but quickly)! However, I had to make room to walk through my apartment, so everything marked Thrift Shop is already at my local Goodwill.

So far, I've really enjoyed the cleansing quality of getting rid of a bunch of stuff. It doesn't seem to have made much difference yet in terms of space in my apartment, but it is still cathartic. I want to see if I can do it once a month, until I absolutely can't give more up.
