As I grow into adulthood, I am still learning to balance work, family, personal time- volunteering, hobbies, clubs, sports and entertainment. In addition, daily I will have an intense, relentless need to de-clutter my life. But there never seems to be enough time to do the things I want to do...
It has come to my attention that spending all of Sunday afternoon “organizing” an uncontained bookshelf is just one of many things holding me back from enjoying the aspects of life that I find to be important. Other examples are:
o Cluttered apartment rooms that need constant cleaning;
o A catch-all purse growing a body of its own;
o Started projects that were great ideas yet failed to keep my attention;
o The blaring e-mail inbox that I sort neatly but neglect;
o My enthusiasm for being drawn into groups/clubs/organizations bigger than myself and not knowing when to say “sorry I am too busy to help” or “no I don’t have time to do your project for you, I have too many of my own”. (I guess you could say I am a natural leader who is still discovering her limits)
Therefore, to address my issues, a goal of mine is to create a livable environment that inspires creativity not overwrought feelings and desolation that I have no time to think let alone clean.
Donating clothing is one way I am creating this sustainable environment for myself. Clothing in itself is art, the colors, the shapes, the material was all designed by an artist. And, I appreciate it so much I find my personal clothing hard to let go of! Although, I am able to let go little by little and in the process I am learning to sort, purge and donate.
My mission is clear, and the purpose of this blog is to document the clothing that is donated, so I am able to reflect back on my life and time spent wearing said clothing.
I hope this blog inspires you and brings out your inner creativity, enjoy!
