This was a favourite posting of last year, and it’s time to revisit it again! What ‘red shoes’ do you have in your life during this time of COVID-19 as we reflect on what has changed in our lives over the last two months. What do we need to let go?

I am rooting around in a closet to find a seasonal jacket, and I cast my eyes on my beloved unworn red shoes!

I love THOSE shoes! I love RED shoes!

I feel strong and positive. I could walk anywhere and face any challenge when I have red shoes on my feet.

FORGET RESOLUTIONS: WHAT’S MY “20 for 2020” LIST?

Happiness expert, Gretchen Rubin, recognizes that for many of us, New Year’s Resolutions are not what helps us succeed in our hopes and dreams for 2020.

Did the idea of writing resolutions for this new year make you tired?

However, do you want to be proactive about some organizing or downsizing projects this year?

If so, then consider Rubin’s "20 for 2020" list.

In her recent blog posting found at Gretchen Rubin on “20 for 2020”, she discusses how finding a way that’s "fresh and fun” can kickstart projects that have been hanging around.

THE KEY TO YOUR NEW YEAR DOWNSIZING RESOLUTIONS

What’s the key to start my new year resolutions about downsizing and organizing? I heard several versions of that question over the holiday season.

I learned awhile ago that one-size-does-not-fit-all when it comes to downsizing! Personality, motivations and circumstances all impact how we best start and keep downsizing resolutions.

What method or key is going to unlock consistent downsizing possibilities for you?

For some, successful downsizing happens in incremental steps. For others, the giant step of a larger effort using bursts of energy works better.
