I love the concept of stealing a thing from the person it is meant for! It’s interesting to consider the fluidity of things belonging to us only for a time, then they belong to someone else. Or maybe they will belong to us forever. Who is deciding? Is it us or our things or maybe it’s mutual. I can also relate to the warm fuzzy feeling of seeing others enjoy our things. Before I moved away from New Orleans, I had a huge estate sale and sold most of the art and things I’d accumulated over ten years. I was surprised by how much I loved seeing others love my things. Kind of like seeing a sweet dog go to a good home. 💗
This is so sweet. I often think about how our things, places we live and frequent, will likely outlive us. Doesn't that show how much a life of their own they have? This time is was so easy for me to part with things because it felt like THEY were ready too. It was such a lovely catharsis, not forcing myself to get rid of anything but instead knowing it had joy to bring to someone else. Thanks for reading!
Also love the quote about letting go what’s no longer yours - what is the Kabbalah podcast this was from? Would love to listen. Thank you as always for your posts! Totally going to do a deep clean of a closet that’s been weighing on me - thank you!
Im obsessed with the way your post are always so nostalgic feeling even when they are present day happenings. It’s a total vibe. 😍
What a lovely thing to say, thank you sweet friend!

Completing an organizing feeling is a great feeling.
But why do they call them metro racks? Should've asked your brother and SiL when they had them in their den in FL!
It’s a good thing I didn’t drop by for a visit! Your kitchen would have been attacked by my OCD self! It might have been too much for you to handle 🤪
Aaaaaa! I could’ve used your help, Sue! We must get together soon, miss you so much. ❤️
Let’s do this soon!
