The answer to this question can change everything. Our family just finished a media fast for the last month. I spent the month starting my next book. My wife and I began getting rid of things we do not need.

What is essential?

When we began, there was a lot. Most of it was stored away somewhere not being used. Now we have brought it out and asked this question of so many things we held dearly. There is a lot of emotion wrapped up in our stuff.

Some things we kept, but put them out where we could find them and actually use them. Many things we let go of and it feels really good. Freeeeedoooom!

What is essential in your life? What needs to go?
