Practical Steps
Jane Green on YouTube
Check out these raw (as in impromptu, unscripted, unrehearsed) video vignettes. Zoe from Seniors Homing Together is preparing for her SERIOUS downsizing sale and I stopped by to lend a hand and offer suggestions. She decided on the spot to record the visit in hopes of inspiring others to start clearing their stuff. If she can do it, anyone can!
There are 9 little segments in all. Here are two of them:

Yay! If you are in the PDX area, the sale is this Sat/Sun July 30/31 from 10 to 4 in NE PDX. Email Zoe for directions: zoevapa@gmail.com

STUFF coming up!
“The thing I came away with the most was a real paradigm shift – I was able to think of keeping the house clean and clear of clutter as an act of self-care rather than just a chore. I think that will really help motivate my efforts.” AH, NE Portland
