Survey #262—Full Response from Brenda B.
| Describe a reality check you’ve experienced as you’ve worked to declutter and organize your home—a moment when you realized that your ideas about stuff were at odds with the reality of your life. | I kept the majority of my kids school clothes and papers which took up many boxes in my basement until it came time for us to downsize and move across the country. I thought they would like to have their grade school report cards and 3rd grade shadow box of the desert, but I was wrong. The majority of it all went away. It all took up valuable real estate in my house just to go out the door! |

| Please share an “Aha!” moment you’ve experienced as you’ve worked to declutter and organize your home—an inspiration or flash of clarity that made the work easier or less emotionally challenging. | My daughter came home to help me declutter and pack for the big move. She gave me the permission I needed to let go of things I was sure she would want. Was such a weight lifted from my shoulders. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Thank you for addressing my comment last week about having a house full of dead people’s stuff. It really helped me! Can’t thank you enough! |
