With all the media saying "buy this", "you must have this", it becomes easy for people to start BELIEVING they actually NEED some this "extra" stuff. Interestingly, the more money I acquire the less "stuff" I want. We are constantly giving things away and making space and having the space feels much better and is more healing than any kind of "clutter". The most rewarding work for me is helping others too. I love when I get emails saying I have empowered people to take control of their health or introduced them to a healer or healing modality that really resonated with them. There is nothing better! Thanks so much Clem for stopping by and for taking the time to comment. It is GREATLY appreciated! Gratefully, Jenny Hi Clem,

Interestingly, I have found the most reward in helping others.

You've listed many things to do, for free, but help others! We can donate old clothes, glasses, household items to help many shelters or centers. <abbr><em><abbr><em>BC Doans last blog post..<a href="http://reachbeyondlimits.blogspot.com/2008/10/do-you-want-to-grow-old-gracefully.html" rel="nofollow">Do You Want to Grow Old Gracefully?</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> This is a great post, Jenny!

I was always the one people went to for help and would internalize other's problems and emotions. I had to learn to move past that in order to heal myself. I love blogging because it has my words out there at all times. It brings me such joy when I get emails saying I have helped and empowered someone. Everyone deserves to feel empowered and alive and self love -- helping people get there -- is the most wonderful feeling. It seems my "love" is just expanding and I am so grateful for the incredible journey thus far and where I am right now! Thank you for your beautiful words. Love, Jenny Hi Liara,
