COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

Joyously Releasing the Dream | minimalist packrat

Joyously Releasing the Dream | minimalist packrat:


"Wisdom that may or may not help you remove clutter:

1) It’s o.k. to be overwhelmed. I have been overwhelmed about my jewelry making supplies for many years now. I waited until I was ready to face them, ready to release the dream.
2) It’s o.k. to go in stages. I got rid of some three years ago. I got rid of some two years ago. And I got rid of some last week. It’s o.k.! It’s progress. Maybe some day I’ll dig in to the heart of the matter and start culling the hard ones like my $50 tanzanite strand and my $80 rutilated quartz strand. Stages will help you release as you’re ready to release. Embrace stages.
3) You are not your stuff. I am not a jewelry artist because I own beads. I WAS a jewelry artist when it gave me pleasure to create with my beads. I am not a jewelry artist right now. I may never be one again. That’s o.k. I can be something else. And you can too. You are not your stuff. I am not my stuff. We are not our stuff.
We are better than our stuff. We are free, happy, joyous, quirky, fun, experimental, moody, dynamic and absolutely exquisite!"
