Make Space for Happiness: How to Stop Attracting Clutter and Start Magnetizing the Life You Want by Tracy McCubbin    224 pages

This book explores the reasons why some of us tend to cling to an overabundance of "stuff" in our lives when living with far less in our living spaces would make us so much happier.   It is a seven step program that gets at the root reasons we cling to "stuff," long after its raison d'etre/purpose has ceased to be meaningful to us, why do we continue to hang on to stuff like it is our child?   This book begins with the why we have it then explores many ways to say goodbye and mean it.   We often form relationships with our things for sentimental reasons, it was your mother's or a favorite Aunt passed it down, someone you long ago cared for gave it to you, you inherited it and it would feel disrespectful to get rid of it or I paid good money for this I am not going to toss it!  While all these reasons are valid they are also holding the reader in bondage!  Break free of allowing your stuff to hold you down and hold you back from the life you want instead of living piled up in the one you have created for yourself and yes, own it you did it to yourself reader now take Tracy McCubbin's verbal hand and allow her to help you climb out of that rubble stack and further your wonderful treasures on their journey to other loving places where they will be appreciated and treated like the true marvels they are instead of collecting dust in all the unloved places you have relegated them to because you are too overwhelmed to truly love them yourself anymore.   A good book by a good author.  I recommend this book to my fellow clutter bugs who form emotional attachments to our things to the point we need a little push from Tracy McCubbin to let go and live our best lives clutter-free!
