“I can give back and make order in my office … I always wanted to volunteer somewhere, now I can make a stop at the new Salvation Army and donate my ‘shlop!” Nurse in CO
Let’s face it, if you have abundant clutter in your life, you are abundantly blessed. It’s our philosophy that you should count your blessings! However, and while we’ve determined that you don’t need to improve yourself (because you’re just find the way you are) – we’ve also determined that the one thing we can’t get enough of in our lives is pleasure! Giving to those less fortunate than ourselves is one of life’s great pleasure, and you are in a position to do so.
If you want to minimize your shlop, we recommend you do it in small doses. Pick a room, a closet, or maybe just your end table to start. Get two garbage bags – one for actual garbage, and one for those useful items that someone else needs more than you. Fill one trash bag, and one charity bag. Tuck the charity bag in the trunk of your car and drop it at the nearest shelter, thrift store, Salvation Army, Goodwill or any other worthy charity. You’ll feel great! So will the person who gets to benefit from your gently used goods!
