Yes, you heard me right.  It's the perfect time of year for you to go through closets, shelves, and drawers and get rid of anything you don't need or haven't worn in 6 months.  

• Bag it up

• Take inventory

• Take well kept things to your local donation center

This will make you feel good and additionally it will show your family that these things are just that..."things." They don't define you and make you who you are.  There are always people less fortunate than you that will really appreciate it.

**As a best practice, I try to do this every 3-4 months, but trust me, it doesn't always happen.
