Is your stuff adding to your life – or draining your life?
We were recently inspired and changed by a thought provoking man and his message. James Wallman, author of Stuffocation, is revealing our relationship (as a human community) with our stuff and how it is changing. His message is much deeper than just letting go of stuff. We agree with him that releasing is just the beginning.
As a global society we have more stuff than ever. Our homes are busting at the seams even after putting many of our “precious belongings” in storage. According to the Self Storage Association, the self storage industry generated over $25 BILLION DOLLARS in revenue in 2014 and continues to grow. What?!?! We are spending mass amounts of money to store things we will most likely never use, let alone see! Just think of the experiences we could have with all of that money.
We love having things, but we realize they don’t really provide the profound connection, meaning and value that we all crave. Experiences like spending time with loved ones and exploring our world are what deepen our true enjoyment of life. The experience and the memory it creates are what we really crave.
Everything takes time, energy and money – not only to buy, but to maintain. (Tweet this) We get to choose where we want our resources to go. Will it be taking care of stuff or having experiences? The choice is yours!
We’d like to invite you to listen to James’ conversation about “Stuffocation” with Doug Fabrizio on Radio West.
Breathing through this together,

Fall is the time to let go of what is dead, dying or done!
Tip 2. Follow the wisdom of mother nature. Every Fall she releases the dead, dying and old stuff back to the earth to be recycled and used differently. We can do the same. Commit to taking the month of October to clear the clutter that has built up over the busy summer (or maybe even many years). Trust that by letting it go you will create open space for new things to come in.
To get help with this and make it easy – check out our C&S 30-Day Clutter Clear Out and get started. The idea is to let go of ONE thing each day for 30 days. You will experience a break through, we promise.

“Are you ready to organize mindfully?”
Recently Marla shared her journey of the last 15 years helping people around the world clear their clutter and get organized – the Clear & SIMPLE Way. She knows how overwhelming the clutter and chaos can be. Join her on the Organize Mindfully Podcast, an educational, inspirational and fun interview with Mark Dillon.
“Imagine being surrounded only by the things you use and that you love.” – Karen Kingston
Early on her path of becoming a professional organizer, this juicy quote struck Marla to her core. She just had to know what it would feel like to live this way. It was instrumental in her business being born and what she desires to help every client achieve in their personal space(s).
“This time with Mark Dillon was inspiring to me. It is a joy to share with someone so present and deeply caring about his purpose. Thank you for this gift” Marla Dee
