Today is the day of the yard sale. I sit on my back porch with my computer, getting some work done in between the thrifty shoppers.

I must admit, it feels lovely; letting go of all this stuff.

Certain items I have no attachment to & others are more difficult for me to let go of because of who gave me the item or who I associate the item with.

But does it make it any easier for me to live my life holding onto those sentimental items or do they weigh me down, simply by existing in the space in which I am trying to create the next chapter of my life? Do these items allow the flow of my energy to remain stagnant & out of date?

I feel that by letting go of all these things I hold on to, I am giving myself permission to move forward with my life. Living in gratitude for the past, but eager & excited for the future.

Giving away stuffed animals, old picture frames, blankets my grandmother made & concert t-shirts are a way for me give thanks for that experience in my life.  

By letting these things go, I am not forgetting that they ever happened. The events, emotions & lessons will forever reside within my spirit. There is just no need for them to take up the space around me.

I truly believe they were hindering me from moving forward.

I am left here now feeling renewed, fresh and energized.

In the book "Clearing Clutter with Feng Shui", Karen Kingston talks about all the areas we can unclutter from such as material possessions, cluttered thoughts, cluttered relationships and so forth. Today I'm focusing on the thoughts. There are a few cluttered thoughts in my mind that I'm intentionally working on through meditation and transmutation so that I can create sacred space in my mind!!!

Sheena,
That is awesome! Sounds like a great book, if you ever feel like passing it on, send it my way! Decluttering over all makes me happy. :)

I took the opportunity to do this exercise when our home was lost to a fire a few months ago & I was forced to simplify my life in more ways than one. Letting go of things that represented security was difficult, but soon after, I felt liberated & free from attachment. Thanks for sharing!

JLo-
Thanks for sharing your story. Interesting being forced into a situation of letting go. I am so glad things had a happy ending of sorts for you.
