http://greenmedianews.com Halloween. On 10/31/09 I'm fulfilling a promise I made to myself and others about a month ago: to make a difference with my life by shedding excess possessions, downsizing my apartment, and doing it with the same commitment and dedication I used to amass a life worth of stuff that, after years of holding onto, has only held me back. By making this change on a grand scale, I encourage others to make small changes in their own lives.
