"Our lives are so filled with junk from the past-from dried up tubes of glue to old grudges-that it's a wonder we can get up in the morning," exclaims motivator, best-selling author, columnist, and life coach Gail Blanke.<BR><BR>"If you want to grow, you gotta let go," is Blanke's mantra; and that means eliminating all the clutter-physical and emotional-that holds you back, weighs you down, or just makes you feel bad about yourself.<BR><BR>In THROW OUT FIFTY THINGS she takes us through each room of the house-from the attic to the garage-and even to the far reaches of our minds. Through poignant and humorous stories, she inspires us to get rid of the "life plaque" we've allowed to build-up there.<BR><BR><BR/> <UL><BR/> <LI>That junk drawer (you know that drawer) in the kitchen? <EM>Empty it!</EM> <BR/> <LI>Those old regrets? <EM>Throw 'em out!</EM> <BR/> <LI>That make-up from your "old" look? <EM>Toss it!</EM> <BR/> <LI>That relationship that depresses you? <EM>Dump it</EM>!</LI></UL><BR/> <BR/><BR/><BR/> Once you've hit fifty-you'll be surprised how easy it is to get there-and once you've thrown out that too-tight belt and too-small view of yourself, you'll be ready to step out into the clearing and into the next, and greatest, segment of your life.
