Welcome to a Year End Message--A Bit Early

Normally something like this gets written closer to the New Year but Spirit is moving me to write this impromtu message...and when Spirit calls...we all must answer by heeding or ignoring.

Yes...answering can be by simply ignoring and going on our merry way as though we never heard the call...but not for me today.

While sitting here and sipping my Amaretto flavored hot chocolate...yummy...and shivering because my furnace is not yet working...brrr...I realized that I have had a pattern over the last 5 years in this particular season and that I need to break the chain. For added emphasis this year, I've been thrown back into silence by having the recently added TV with the indoor antenna stop working and my DVD player along with my VCR also stop working.

SOOOO...what's the message? There is something I definitely need to hear and some very dear friends agreed with me about that...and at least part of that message has to do about STUFF!!!

My home is filled with "STUFF". Much of the stuff is related to my work and art and crafting but there is other stuff that is no longer needed. More of the message?...get the STUFF out of my home...clear the way for a new abundance and new opportunites to start flowing in once more.

This is something I tell many of my clients and I do know that it is for myself as well but...you know how it goes...sometimes you just don't pay attention to your own messages until they smack you in the head or pull you to a screeching halt.

The SOLUTION??? I've started it with the year end clearance sale on the business end and I'm starting in the home with clearing the items I have which others have wanted me to sell for them. Most of those items will be posted on some auction sites within a week or so...just in time for the items to make it to the buyer for the holidays.

Alternately...some items...mine included...will be donated to a variety of thrift shops before the New Year enters. The remainder of the items I cannot seem to get sold for other people will be returned to them...getting much of the energies of others out of my space...not that their energies are bad...far from it...it's just that they are items which no longer serve their purpose for them and they never served any purpose for me. I gave them their best shot at finding new homes but there is nothing more I can do after this go-round.

Message for others?...yes...look around you and see what you no longer need in your space. Check if you are holding things which really serve no purpose...both physically with items and emotionally with others. Are you the repository for STUFF?...your own and others'? If so...now is an extremely good time to release it all.

Best of luck and Happy Holidays!!!
