Great stuff, I liked the part:
"Getting rid of all (or most, or even some) of your possessions is one of the toughest things to do, but one that is illuminating and immensely freeing. Only once you are up to your eyeballs in “stuff”, deciding what to keep, and what the heck to do with the rest, will you realize just how entrenched we all can get with constant materialistic messages encouraging us to “buy buy buy."

Reminds me of leaving for Central America in 2004. Also reminds me of that great line in Fight Club:
"The things you own, end up owning you."

Yep, getting rid of stuff sounds like a plan. :)
