Time for round three

Hi Everyone,

How are you all going?  I hope this finds you well, and that you are having a relaxing time.  If you are in America have a great Thanksgiving break.

So I have decided that I am going to do round three of getting rid of 1000 things.  Each time I complete a round I find that I feel better, hence why I am going to do it again

If you feel free to join me on this round, you are most welcome. Leave a comment below saying you are getting involved, and share in the fun.

Till we meet again, have a great weekend.

Sunday Inspiration: TED talks

Hi Everyone,

How are you?  I hope this all finds you well.

I have been thinking about how having less gives me more freedom.  As a result I watched some great videos. Here they are below:

Downsize Your Life: Why Less is More | Rita Wilkins | TEDxWilmingtonWomen

Less stuff, more happiness | Graham Hill

 Sell your crap. Pay your debt. Do what you love.  Adam Baker -TEDxAsheville 

These videos have given me a lot of thought.  I am finding that I have too much stuff, and that it is limiting what I am able to do.  Especially when you consider having to move this all around to take advantage of new opportunities.  

I will continue to thing on these things over the next week or two. 

Do you have these same thoughts?  if you are, feel free to share in the comments below. 

Till we meet again.
