July Challenge

Due to popular demand
we are going to have another challenge.
Same idea, listing whatever leaves our homes through donating, gifting or tossing.
I believe that together we will be able to beat our June Challenge Grand total! 😀

I would also like to suggest listing some emptional baggage we should toss.
1 grudge
1 regret
Etc......

A good way to toss emotions is to one by one write them down on paper. Meditate on one, then have a ceremony somewhat like a funeral.
Then bury, cremate or have a buriel at sea (flush).

This Challenge begins July 1st. 😀

what I got rid of lately...

1 huge worry about not having water. 😀
1 bag of powdered sugar
1 cup of sugar
1 half cup of baking cocoa
1 stick of butter
2 cups of flour

Had that stuff laying around for a while and wanted it gone so I baked a banana cake. Now I can buy fresh baking supplies. 😀 lol

WAY TO GO CHALLENGERS!!! Great start on the July Challenge. 😀

Recycled 5 mugs through mens sheds.

But gained 3 loads of guilt!!! (I told a close friend there was an EWS - Early Warning Signs. They assumed I was telling them they were ill). I finally figured out that it was my EWS for getting hurt 3 times before.

= 2 ahead for me.

Yay Tillie & Sally! Good Work "kicking us off" for the July Challenge "Kick OUT" the Clutter 😉

As Diane said so well -- I, too, am happy we have this monthly challenge to keep us motivated & moving forward! (I still need to catch up with everybody on the boards, but for now just going to post my 2-days-worth of items out so far.)

I also noticed that by listing regularly, I'm gaining more awareness re: the specific items/categories of items I have tended to hoard -- This will DEFINITELY help me to refrain from acquiring them from here forward =)

Hi Roxie, Dianne, Diane -- Thinking of you!

Hope everyone on these boards is having a good Tuesday 🙂

Thank you Tillie, I really need the challenge to keep writing down what I do, then can look back when think I am not doing enough, and see I got rid of so much. You are a blessing Tillie.
