After 27 years of marriage, and many, many years of inheriting family heirlooms (which are 1/2 of the most things I cannot rid myself of), going to yard sales , auctions, goodwill, etc I have accumulated A lot. My 2/2 is clothing that I purchase mostly from goodwill and consignment stores, but also I get “that high” when shopping clearance in store, and online. I’ve began to feel like it’s all taking over my life. Due to neck, & hip problems, I can’t physically stand long enough to do all I want to do. It’s gotten worse over the past 3 years, but I did start the fall of last year trying to clean out. But I am trying to legitimize getting rid of $1,000’s of dollars of clothes, that even though I’ve gained weight, I have 2 whole wardrobes of size 12 & 14 clothes in storage. I’ve got to make a change NOW! Thank you for your inspiration and advice.
It’s a struggle for all of us, Allison—We’re with you! I’m glad this article was motivating for you, and I wish you all the best on your decluttering journey!!
