Thanks for your comments. I am always in the process of wrestling with what I want and what I don't want. What is clutter and what isn't . . . an examined life is worth living . . . I suppose? - amy kaplan Sun, 30 Aug 2009 05:48:39 +0100 http://ecohearth.com/eco-blogs/guest-blog/763-our-addiction-to-stuff-part-1.html#comment-291 This recession has put the brakes on many people's fantasy of their ideal future. It took hitting a brick wall, but I too have decided that I no longer want to scale those walls that were a challenge to me in my youth. In a light bulb moment, I not only don't need to scale those walls, I no longer want to. I believe that letting go is going to become the new green movement. As America greys, I am seeing more downsizing, more reflection, more commonsense. An article I recently read talked about a company in Texas that makes small houses. And it is successful, as is Lowe's Katrina cottage blueprint offerings. People that planned McMansions for their retirement are now letting go, seeking out homes that would have fit in the great room of their once sought after fantasy. And they are happy and fulfilled. Well, on to another closet. - Ann Lee Sun, 26 Jul 2009 09:09:28 +0100
