Well, I'm doing it. I'm finally selling all the scrapbooking and Stamping stuff I have been holding onto as a visible/tangible sign of my ongoing struggle to maintain an identity during my marriage. I didn't realize until recently that much of what I am holding onto is not because I actually like it and will use it but because it is a symbol of a struggle and a war I no longer have to fight. And so, realizing that, I am letting it go. Over 40 stamp sets, a ton of embellishments (those are still being sorted, photographed and uploaded to the album on facebook), storage totes, tools, etc are all going. Why hold onto things I have rarely used in the last 8 years and not at all in the last 2??? What a liberating feeling it is to let go of stuff, to let go of the past, and know that I am making room for the future?! As well as, hopefully, paying down some debt at the same time (which means I am trusting God to bring buyers my way!)??!!

I am glad to see you are letting go of the past. It is unhealthy to hang on to things that remind you of bad times. Hope this is theraputic for you and makes you feel better!!
