“I will let go of what no longer serves me.”
My goodness, what a read! I’ve read a few books about clutter and getting organized and I’ve often indulged in thoughts about minimalism, all while adding to the heap of things I love but do not need or will not need in the future.
And then I read this book… the perspective from a Black person was exactly what I needed. My favorite parts were the “ For the Culture” sections which give historical insights on events that environments that may have influenced the need to hoard items of perceived value.
I have slowly gone through JUST my clothes and was able to donate four bags of clothes that I barely even wear and Everyday, I move with intention. I’m so thankful for Christine. Read this book, read it again and forgive yourself and others through the process. A beautiful, sensitive and thought provoking read.
