I now have 3 large tubs of decorations, and a 4 ft tall nutcracker. That is all. I feel great about it too. I can't wait to pair down the Halloween and Easter stuff now! thefarmersdaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285164600604381321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-53521847431803039072015-01-12T11:26:53.789-07:002015-01-12T11:26:53.789-07:00Marian--you grew up here? Oh small world!
Kondo ...Marian--you grew up here? Oh small world! <br /><br />Kondo only reveals the part about objects having feelings very slowly. But I can imagine that if they have feelings (and labels, by the way, "talk" to her, so she doesn't label anything) living with lots of objects would be like living with lots and lots of people. Not fun. (By the way, their desire is to serve you--her universe is quite benevolent. And if the only "purpose" of something was to show you you can live happily without it, then it is happy to move along.)Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-23262191922919026372015-01-12T05:18:19.710-07:002015-01-12T05:18:19.710-07:00Too funny - I had just, a couple of weeks ago, hea...Too funny - I had just, a couple of weeks ago, heard of Kondo's book, and had been thinking of buying it (our library doesn't have it). But now that I hear that she says objects have feelings and desires, I think I'll pass!! (I have a copy of Karen Kingston's Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui, which I've found very useful, but I have to ignore/take with a grain of salt her assertion that we are connected to our belongings by strands of energy! I think hearing that objects have feelings and desires would make it harder, not easier, to get rid of things? Unless she's saying these objects are asking to have a useful and loved existence in another home?)<br /><br />And small world...I have to admit I've known for a while that you live in the city I grew up in, but now I hear you've also lived in the banana belt!! :)Marianhttp://greengreyandgezellig.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-75175544685836554992015-01-11T19:59:17.043-07:002015-01-11T19:59:17.043-07:00Blast!
