Day 5

Today's assignment is to clean out the door of the fridge--or if the whole thing is a mess, clean it All! And to shop for food for the next week--buying nothing in a tin, a package, or a box. Check out these recipes! Inspiring and lovely! And only 5 ingredients. :) Start sorting thru books, which I had begun doing the beginning of the year and going for a walk and finding joy in anticipating what is coming into the space I am creating!

I've actually started cleaning up/out other things...my closet, my dresser, my bathroom cabinet, my computer and all the e-junk. I am evolving thru this whole experiment and am feeling particularly thankful for it.

Something I do know for sure is that anywhere and in anyway that I do not love myself I am creating a space for things that do not belong to me to come in...all the stuff that I have saved--particularly the e-junk--comes from not trusting in myself, in who I am and how I show up each day. When I am loving myself, I don't need the latest creams, lotions or potions, gadgets, fashion or the self-help 'how-to' stuff. While these things are not inherently bad, if it is blocking me from hearing myself or it is confusing my own wisdom or taking time and space from creating my life and my joy, then I most definitely do not need it. So I am choosing to be very selective right now. :)

As for adorning the body beautiful, well, if I don't like the energy of the clothes or jewelry or how I feel wearing them, then off they go to find a new home. And the new home can't be my 17 year old daughter. I am seeing that I want my things to go to a good home and then I want to pick the receiver. LOL Sort of defeating the purpose here because I don't want to turn anybody else into my personal dumping ground...kind of what happens in my family when it is time to get rid of stuff.

What I am presently getting out of this experience is that it is time to trust myself and to let go of all the things I have held onto because I have been afraid that I won't do a good job just being me!

Peace In!
