Recycle your old stuff

Everyone I know has old things that they are not using just taking up space in closets, drawers, basements, and garages. Clean up your life and help someone else out. You can either pack it up and donate it to charity or freecycle it. www.freecycle.org is a community email group that is dedicated to recycling rather than trashing items. You post and people pick it up; everything from clothing (especially baby and kid's) to electronics to old magazines. It is a wonderful way of cleaning up your clutter, simplifying your life, and helping someone else in the process. I just freecycled almost all of my infant clothes. Letting go of things can be very liberating, not to mention that it freed up my daughter's closet for her new clothes.
