May 12 – Downsizing: Quality Over Quantity

Downsizing is the task that delays many individuals from moving. It is easy to put it off when we have a multitude of things we would rather be doing.

Hear a local expert talk about simplifying your life as well as the physical and emotional aspects of downsizing and aging in place.
