Such a fun game!

This was sooooo satisfying to watch! My favourite part of decluttering is finding people who will be happy receiving a thing I'm getting rid of. Recently I found a new owner for a beautiful trenchcoat that hung in my wardrobe unloved. I'm so happy to let it go.

The recycling room with the open shelves for neighbors to share and exchange things - how genius is that!

There's a Good Will around the corner; they work so hard there to present the donated clothing in an attractive way so people can not only see it, but feel good about purchasing. It's these small acts that make such a big difference.

@@mihaelaclaudiap..2 Yes, I don't see it that way either. But many others, I think. I always like, when I get a bag of decluttered stuff to look through. Sometimes I take 2 or 3 items, sometimes nothing.. I think, everybody could offer, what he has leftover, and the one offered does have the oportunity to say "no, thank you" at any time. But I think, many people are like "if it's not "good enough" for you, why should it be good enough for me?" and refuse it.. Even since all of that has nothing to do with it. They have an other lifestyle and therefor _of course_ need other stuff. Or colour. Or size.. But they are not able to see it like that. It's a matter of ego/pride, I think.. And as I say, a pity.

@@FrogeniusW.G. It May just be the sign of a low self-esteem. And it May also be a reaction to the giver's mindset and attitude. Pity or compassion ? The greater winner may not be the one who recieves. The ego of the giver may spoil the win/win transaction.

How I wish I had access to a recycling room like you have, it’s such a useful resource. Disposing of my decluttered goods is always such a long-winded performance here and though we do have recycling collections for some items, there are others such as fabric recycling that there is no local provision for. There is a limit to the number of rag cloths, buttons and zips one might wish to store in one’s minimalist home. Thank you for suggesting June’s journey, I have been considering trying it for some time now so with your recommendation I will get on and download it and give it a go. I doubt I will catch up with you though.

I have been on a purging binge myself. I have taken probably five full carloads of items to the thrift stores. You might say I have hit the wall and am really going whole hog on minimalism. I'm at an age where even your average household of items is too much for me now and so watching your channel has really inspired me to continue my new life and know what I have been doing is making me happy and is so worth it.

I am at the beginning so have quite a ways to go but it is a process and I respect that. I am 53yo living in Oz, recently returned to Sydney from country for work and it is my opportunity to dramatically reduce, reuse, and recycle in preparation for a pared down and fuller life. After our recent lockdown here I have finally found a small apartment and been able to move everything out of storage again. I have had to store my belongings a few times over the years and I have avowed that this is the last time - it is the last time in my life that I will 'do' my life like this: moving around and renting tiny apartments that I can only just fit all of my possessions in, while paying off someone else's mortgage and just making ends meet.. I am slowly unpacking and literally sifting, sorting, and donating as I go. I am excited by the prospect of entering my later years doing something completely different and more fulfilling, but I'm still in the process of making some major decisions. I am deciding if a tiny house, an rv (or converted bus) is the way to go. It is difficult for me because I inherited both of my parent's belongings and so I will reduce my own excess first. You are so inspiring and I am loving each episode that I come across - I am now following with keen interest. I appreciate your common sense and logical approach and I suspect that this will be the best way for me to approach everything also. Thank you! Happy New Year 2022 from Oz 🎆🍾💮

The leggings caught my eye. I waited, holding my breath to see the description. They are keepers!

White (or light coloured) cotton shirts & clothes can be dyed. I always do that with clothes, that I like in shape, size and material, but not in colour.. So I do for my kids. Pink dresses get blue dye and become purple, grey & white become blue and so on. Sometimes I even go fancywith yellow or green. ☆😄
