It encourages intentionality in keeping possessions, focusing on what is truly cherished, practically useful, and letting go of what is not. This philosophy can be applied to various aspects of life, including physical possessions, relationships, and even past experiences.
Applying the principle:
Keep What You Love:
This involves identifying items that hold significant sentimental value or are truly cherished and used regularly. These are the items that bring joy and add value to your life.
Store What You Need:
This refers to items that are necessary for daily life or occasional use but don't necessarily evoke strong emotions. These can be stored in a way that is accessible when needed but doesn't clutter the living space.
Let Go of the Rest:
This involves parting with items that are no longer needed, used, or loved. This can include items that are broken, outdated, or simply cluttering up space. Letting go can be freeing and allows for a more minimalist and organized environment.
Benefits of adopting this principle:
Reduced Clutter:
By letting go of unnecessary items, you can create a more organized and visually appealing living space.
Increased Clarity:
Simplifying your surroundings can lead to a clearer mind and reduced stress.
More Freedom:
Fewer possessions can mean less time spent cleaning, organizing, and managing belongings, allowing for more freedom to pursue other interests.
Stronger Relationships:
Applying this principle to relationships can involve prioritizing meaningful connections and letting go of toxic or draining relationships.
Growth and Transformation:
By letting go of past mistakes and regrets, you can create space for personal growth and a more positive outlook on the future.

Starting from Auckland to Hamilton our journey started in March 2025 (this year) and we have visited most towns preaching in the streets, parks, shopping malls and churches. It is an amazing journey as we video and document our travels on our blog on our website: www.soulsforchrist.co.nz...
We have seen many miracles and healings, praying for multitudes of people with over 5,500 giving their lives over to Jesus since March this year. We are a mobile outreach made up of 4 volunteers, travelling in two buses and a van from town to town preaching the Good News. When arriving at a new town on our planned journey we will book at a campsite and then sleep in the converted buses overnight. The next day after prayers we will travel into town and find the busiest human footprint (mall, park, city centre) and set up our small gazebo and preach from there. Reaching out to the public for anyone who wants to hear and respond. Many people are so thirsty for Jesus and receive salvation.
We do not belong to a denomination nor a particular church but we have a burning desire to give people the opportunity to return to God. For those that receive Jesus into their hearts and repent of their sins, we refer them to the local churches in that town. On many occasions we make contact with pastors in that town and advise them of new converts coming in. These pastors sometimes will ask us to preach at their churches or share our testimonies when we are there too.
Feel free to follow us on our journey on blog on our website of each town and city visited as we will soon be journeying on to the South Island as we finish up here in Wellington.
I'm thinking of starting up a local Coffee Meet if anyone would to have a chat, laugh 😃 make a positive start to a new month. Call/text 027 3862680 if you're keen. Cheers Helen

Life gets busy—really busy. Between work, family, appointments, and a never-ending to-do list, it’s easy for things to pile up. Add fast fashion, online sales, and homewares aisles that whisper “just one more basket won’t hurt”, and suddenly we’re swimming in stuff and tat.
… View moreLife gets busy—really busy. Between work, family, appointments, and a never-ending to-do list, it’s easy for things to pile up. Add fast fashion, online sales, and homewares aisles that whisper “just one more basket won’t hurt”, and suddenly we’re swimming in stuff and tat.
Sometimes, that stuff is cozy and familiar. But other times, after a long day, you walk through the door, look around, and think: “Okay. Something’s got to go.”
And when that urge to declutter hits, the question is—where does it all go? We're not talking about broken bits and pieces, but those perfectly good things that simply no longer fit your life or your space.
In her piece When decluttering can’t be avoided much longer, Joanna Davis shares the everyday items she's finally ready to part with—and it might just inspire your own clear-out mission.
We want to know:
🧹 How often do you get the urge to declutter?
🎯 Are there certain things you’ve got your eye on to donate or rehome?
💛 Do you have any favourite charities, op-shops, or community organisations you support with your preloved items?
Let’s swap stories, share ideas, and help great stuff find a second life—outside our closets and shelves.
