Common Sense

I am enjoying a chapter in a book entitled, Creating a Charmed Life by Victoria Moran

Chapter 15 is titled Do The Next Indicated Thing

"Doing the next indicated thing makes taking the next action life presents whether you're inspired or not."

Ah, this seems so simple, yet just the prompt I needed.

I quite enjoyed her comment, "Our various responsibilities can seem like a roomful of unruly kindergartners shouting "Pick me,pick me."

It is a fun, inspiring book with some common sense suggestions.

And, I just finished Living Feng Shui Personal Stories by Carole J. Hyder. I enjoyed the stories, but, also, got a practical idea for clearing/organizing an area. She mentions through several stories that clients use a tactic of removing 9 items from area each for 9 days.

I found this to be a good suggestion for me so for 8 days I have moved 9 items from 2 different areas I want to have better organized/less cluttered. So even at 18 items I day, even after multiple trips to Goodwill this past year, I still have a lot of pieces of stuff.

Being involved with my conscious shopping practice, I have been giving more books and clothes to Goodwill than I have purchased. . . got a load in the car now to take. . . I am glad the things may go where they will be read, worn, used rather than just sitting unappreciated.
