RENEWED!!

Intervention.

Have you every been the subject of an intervention? Or maybe part of an intervention "team"?

I was on both sides this week. My sister and best friend Janet performed an intervention on our STUFF. Yep. Hoarding disorder!! Really!

We literally could not move nor unpack in our new place because of all the stuff. Last Thursday my sister showed up with a 17' UHAUL.

Guess what?

We FILLED it. Half went was donated and the other half went to the dump. I'm completely embarrassed to admit that the half that went to the dump totalled OVER 1.3 TONS. How does this happen!?!?!

Yeah, well, don't be so smug, you've got more stuff that you probably realize!

But I literally feel more FREE, lighter, more clear and less oppressed. Over the next two weeks the goal is to pare down to only the essentials (in personal AND business).

It is pretty exciting to have set up my work area for candles yesterday. All my "equipment" is pretty much still in boxes, but soon everything will have a home. And if it doesn't - off with it then! I'm really getting good at purging stuff (both Janet and my sister are PROUD of me!!)

Silly, huh? Not really. There is a website devoted to this problem...

I was SHOCKED that we fit the ticket...I suppose identifying the problem is 99% of the cure, huh?

If you know someone who needs help, please, for their sake step out and kindly bring up the topic in a non-judgmental, caring way. I have difficulty associating our family with the word "hoarding" but that is how it is named, oh well! Reality check!

I'm so glad to have friends and family who love me so much!!

So...ONWARD to unpacking those candle boxes!

More soy candles and new stuff coming soon (can you say "scented TEALIGHTS"?) :)
