About The Album of Letting Go: Keep the Memory. Lose the Clutter
Objects Are Never Just Objects
A purse is rarely just a purse.
A baseball glove is rarely just a baseball glove.
A coffee mug is rarely just a coffee mug.
And if you have ever stood in a garage, attic, closet, spare room, or storage unit holding something you have not used in fifteen years while simultaneously feeling completely unable to get rid of it, you already know this.
Objects are sneaky that way.
They start out as things. Then life happens.
Are you paralyzed by boxes of family keepsakes, childhood mementos, or inherited heirlooms? Standard decluttering advice often fails because it treats every item equally: Keep. Donate. Discard. Next. But when you are clearing out a family home or your own closets, you are not just arguing with a cardboard box—you are negotiating with memory.
