    I gathered 6 large trash bags of "stuff" during my decluttering that will be donated. I am looking for a local thrift store to donate to that would give back to our community. Not a big chain.

    Everyone can help save the environment by starting small and doing your part just by changing your daily habits. To help save the environment, try decreasing energy and water consumption; changing your eating and transportation habits to conserve natural resources; and reducing, reusing, and recycling to be more environmentally friendly.

    Decluttering my home and looking for things to upcycle has certainly opened my eyes. We have way to much "stuff".

    Have you ever taken the moment to wonder just how rain replenishes the Earth and how it does the same for our souls? Rainy days sometimes helps me to regroup.
