Selling everything also has me wanting to minimize or omit the unnecessary components in my life, too. Let me tell you how this ‘sell all process’ is going, what else has been taking place, what I am learning, and what I am gaining.
Progress this weekend:
Going
Husband decided he wants to have a garage sale (yeah!)
Cleaned out 1 Closet and started sellable pile
Husband added that we should ask my momlist on eBay, Craigslist, etc… for a small percentage of the sale
Cleaned out costume jewelry box (wow, clean)
Cataloged and bagged costume jewelry for garage sale
Also, repriced Half.com items for lower than suggested value – want to get out of my inventory!
What else has been taking place
This process has me cleaning out the unnecessary components in my life
