This is so helpful, Sandra. It reminds me of the practice of temple cleaning. I'm going to incorporate some of your ideas into my year-end rituals over the next week. thank you, and happy solstice!
I am doing a different sort of letting go, Sandra. At 77, I am giving away things that I have loved and know that I will never use again and have not used in many years! The last give-away was my antique Christmas tree decorations to my Chinese friend, Jing, who wanted to really experience Christmas with a beautiful tree and all of the trimmings! I asked if she would like my ornaments' and she was so excited to get them and put pictures of the tree and ornaments all over FB! :). Someone else wants my Nativity set and all of the other decorations I had as a child. I love giving the things I have enjoyed and loved to people who I know will also love them. I have a lot of things I am getting rid of in the kitchen but I sort of do that bit by bit. One of these days I will tackle the medicine cabinet. So I am doing something a little different but it gives me so much joy to see my things bring joy to others! <3 Love to you, Sandra <3
Wonderful, Jean! You are so courageous and making progress in your own way. I love how you are using this process as a way to bring joy to others. That's beautiful!
