Hi all,
as some of you will remember I'll gett married in Jan. and thus will have to go through my things in order to make them fit into the new home. After all, he wants to live there too. ;-> OK, about a year ago I had gotten me a book on de-cluttering your home with feng shue by Karen Kingston which I got out now. She talks about hoarding things that clutter your live out of a feeling of poverty. The theory is, however, that you get what you expect. So, if you feel wealthy instead of poor, wealth will come. Better go to her page and read her version, but I think you've gotten the general idea.
So, while doing this and feeling the weight of the wardrobe full of fabrics next to me, I thought that I was perhaps overdoing it with my cloth. But then I thought that whatever I'd get rid of to make my things fit into the new place, I wouldn't part with my fabrics and my books. And since I know that you all are fabriholics, too, I tought I'd ask you for support. No, fabrics don't clutter my life, they enrich it! But still, it's amazing how tidying up gives you energy. I feel so much better only by getting the summer stuff out of my sight. And, for those who are still with me at this point of my text (and who happen to care), I downscaled things concerning my wedding so far that I'll wear some old stuff for the ceremony. After all it's just the civil marriage. See and hear the loads tumble off my shoulders? Come on, pat my back, looks like I finally seem to get the hang of things: don't try to go through the wall directly, use the door, girl. ;-)
Thanks for listening,
U.
