I used to be quite a pack rat ~ I would keep everything
sentimental factor does that to a person.
Also it depended on who gave it to me
did not want to hurt anyone’s
feelings by giving something away that you absolutely hate.
A couple of things got broken accidently on
purpose
during a move a few years back ~ less guilt that way.
Then came along the show Clean Sweep with
Peter Walsh on TLC.
I would sit and
watch it and something clicked…..
it’s not the item that holds the memory ~ the
heart does.
Talk about an Oprah aha
moment ~ it was a push that was needed.
I no longer hold onto things because of who gave them to me.
I have purged and purged items from our
home.
I go through my closet at the
change of every season.
So letting go of
the stuff ~ I am getting there.
I still
have a few things that I just cannot part with yet but there is still
time.
Now if I can just get my dear
husband to clean out his closet!

I used to watch Clean Sweep too - love Peter Walsh! I have moved so much over the years, that I am pretty good about purging. I've actually been doing it all week. Now, if only Alex would get on the purging bandwagon too! Have a great day!!! xxoo
Oh yes I love having a purge - a good clear out. Nothing better than a car load of stuff going to the dump, recycling, charity thrift store. It makes my shoulders fill lighter and the house look lovelier. Win alround. Happy Thursday to you.
