Every time the seasons change I view it as an opportunity to conduct a major cleanse of my home and office. Don't misunderstand me, I 
have regular cleaning staff that sees to the day to day needs, otherwise I am doing it myself - but let's face it every once in a while something deeper is required. For Fall cleaning I like to pay particular attention to de-cluttering. Fall is a time of harvest and bounty and to make room for new things you need to purge the old.
I take time in the fall to go through all of my closets and donate anything that hasn't been used in over six months to charitable organizations. This includes appliances, book, clothes and shoes. The truth is that there are people who would find the use of these items a blessing and in this economy need these items. And as my load is lightened I am free to enjoy more prosperity. Yesterday I was taking out closed escrow files and making room for new escrows in the office and cleaning out my in basket which magically seems to fill up no matter what I do. But when everything is in its place I feel much better and I promise that lightening your load will only free you to enjoy more peace, tranquility and prosperity.
At the office I take the time in the fall to have my computers maintained, files compressed, hard drives defragged and everything backed up. I have found it well worth the time spent. Everything is on schedule for a check up in the month of October. As I share this with you I do the same for me.
