It was powerful for me (I recycled over 5 feet of paperwork, and donated boxes of books to the Library). Glad it worked for you too! Thanks for sharing the post and question with your readers.

I do have one vintage suitcase that holds the sentimental stuff. If it fills up, it's time to cull. Thanks for checking in - your blog is amazing!

I had this exact same epiphany back in the summer. My question now is always 'does this represent me now or how I was in the past?' which is basically the same as you have said Just imagine all that stuff holding you back in the past! I can never decide on the 'do I love it, do I use it' items, but if something is holding me back, then it's time to let go. I have one small cardboard box which is old things like letters, photos and school stuff, but that is all I've allowed myself. And I only keep that because I have kids who might want to take a look at it one day. Fabulous! I had this exact same epiphany back in the summer.
