Letting go of old beliefs, ideas, and family stuff takes time and energy too. I'm right there with you and have been working on decluttering my mind, heart, and years of accumulated stuff that is no longer relevant. So, I feel for you as you go through the process. It truly does pull at our heartstrings, but once we let go, oh how much lighter we feel, both in ourselves and in our homes.
That's really the key, isn't it?
It's not that it's worthless, or that it's not useful; it's simply not relevant to how life works in 2026.
As much as anything, I have been learning the importance of making space in my head, not just in the attice and closets!
