Organized Simplicity: The Clutter-Free Approach to Intentional Living

Organized Simplicity: The Clutter-Free Approach to Intentional Living
The book Organized Simplicity by Tsh Oxenreider is a good book.  Strange first name for the author though.  Did she simplify the vowels out of it?  She has vowels in her last name though.  Hmmm....
Anyway, she explains reasons why one should simplify and then gives tips and guidelines on how to simplify our lives.  I like that she said "we should calculate every item's value by asking:... 1.  Is this thing useful to me (us)?  and 2.  Is this thing beautiful to me (us)?. 
I have been inspired and am going to participate in our neighborhood garage sale next weekend.

  1. I've read this book as well and thought it had some excellent ideas for simplifying one's home and life.

    The author has a website and did a series of "Project Simplify" challenges this spring which I did. It was life-changing...and I got rid of so much in the process (to donate, throw, and recycle).
