97 | Let It Go, Keep the Memory; Tips For Decluttering Sentimental Items.

Hey friends! So you want to declutter your home. And one of the top categories of items hogging up space in your home are sentimental items. Items like...your kids baby clothes, family heirlooms, a collection of music tapes from your adolescence, clothes from 10 years ago...(Insert the item here). Perhaps you are decluttering a loved ones home and coming across handfuls of similar types of items.You've tried to declutter these items before. But emotions gave way and you found a reason to hold on to them "just a little bit longer". Clearly all these items are deeply tied to a person or a memory you aren't willing to part with. Running in parallel I am here to honor the memory and provide perspective to help you let the stuff go. I pray that when you leave todays episode you feel more confident to take the steps, to finally bless and release items that are in the past or that no longer serve you in this season of life.
