Suzanne, the eBay Selling Coach, is giving away a $25 Shell Card on her blog….eBay Selling Coach! When you stop by and leave a comment for your entry, would you please let her know that I sent you?
She has several opporunities posted for additional entries.

One of our goals here in our Sustainable Backyard is to become less burdened by the material possessions we currently own. Simplification and less clutter are high priorities-thus the Lighten the Load Challenge. Throwing our unwanted items away would be the easiest manner to de-clutter, but it is not the responsible thing to do. Recycling, upcycling, sharing, and selling are our chosen methods of simplification. Selling is a means to becoming debt free as well. The only way I can live the type of sustainable life I want is to become debt free. Through her blog and her WAHM Facebook Group, Suzanne has given me many great ideas for selling successfully on eBay. So, if you are an eBay seller or if you have ever considered becoming an eBay seller, spend a little time on her site. Suzanne offers so many wonderful ideas for making your business grow!

Come visit the Lighten the Load Challenge on Facebook, for fun and commeraderie in de-cluttering and reducing debt in your life!

With all the uncertainty of today’s economy complete with rising costs of EVERYTHING, it is nice to find a giveaway that is sure to save money. Suzanne at eBay Selling Coach is giving away 500 coupons! You may remember that she is also offering her eBook, SAHM’s Guide to Selling on eBay, as a free download as well. If you decide to drop by and add your name to the drawing, would you please mention that I sent you? Thanks!

 OH! And GOOD LUCK!!!!

Lately, eBay has been my only source of income and I suspect that many of us will be turning to such opportunities to make ends meet in these coming months. I know that eBay is a bit far from being sustainable, but right now it is keeping me afloat. Sharing what we can is good…so I am letting all of you know about this wonderful freebie that is being offered.

Suzanne Wells, the famous eBay Selling Coach, is offering a free copy of her book Stay at Home Mom’s Guide to Successful Selling on eBay as part of the Good Karma Experiment on Facebook.

I personally have this book, read her blog daily AND belong to her SAHM eBay Facebook Group. Everyday I am amazed at the free information that Suzanne offers. Stop by her place at eBay Selling Coach and grab yourself a copy. You will not be sorry. Oh…and would you mention that I sent you, please?

This past week has been the most exhausting in a long while. Being sick and trying to keep up with everything has been near impossible. It doesn’t help that Hais is coming around with what appears to be a secondary infection/illness and DH is still not quite up to snuff with the cough that followed his illness.
The Lighten the Load  Challenge was definitely NOT in the forefront of my efforts this past week. Having said that, I am embarrassed to post my tiny bit of progress at only 25 UNITS.

eBay– 20 UNITS
trash/junk –5 UNITS

I didn’t even take my earnings to pay on debt, but hopefully this next week will show at least a bit more progress. Maybe-Maybe not. It is Wednesday and it is still an effort to concentrate to even write this entry…so we shall see, right?

 CindyDianne reported a success of 121 UNITS with Craigslist and donations this week over on the Facebook Group. A big woohoo to her!

Good luck, and happy lessening to all, on your Lighten the Load Challenge!
