Releasing/Letting Go

I am really charged and excited! "A state of excitement, and it comes like a faucet: nothing comes unless you turn it on, and the more you turn it on, the more comes." This morning I began going through my books. I have a box and a bag ready to take to the library. I'm going to try and sell a few (see list below).

I'm always surprised at how often friends take my cleaning and decluttering to mean that they should be cleaning and decluttering too. To be honest, I'm not thinking about them at all. I am trying not to beat myself up by feeling that I am not getting any closer to my goal of a simpler life. Then I realize that it's still about process and I take comfort in that. Did you know the originally the word comfort meant "to make someone stronger"? (The Dictionary of Words Origins by John Ayto). I also accept that straying from the path is always a part of the journey.

Okay, books are the price listed plus shipping (media rate unless you want it shipped differently). I'll charge you whatever the USPS charges. If you buy , we'll work something out. Books are like new unless noted. Thanks for helping in my journey!
