I purged!!  I did the KonMari method of taking every single item out of my closet.  I held each one up and asked, “does this bring me joy?”  Turns out that there weren’t many pieces that brought me joy.  I got rid of about 50% of my closet – including the dress I wore to my rehearsal dinner, the nightgown that I wore on my honeymoon and other sentimental but outdated items.  This time, I put a lot of thought into where I wanted to donate these items.  I decided on Big Brother Big Sister.  Their mission aligns with my own, mentoring young people with your time and energy.  I felt good about my donation!
