INSPIRATION for ProjectDistribute-2026: Getting Rid of Stuff and this Blog
February-2010...Good friend deciding to giver up her generous/spacious 3 bedroom, 2/half bath town house and move five hours north to be close to family; thus downsizing to a 2 bedroom apartment in an upscale retirement community.
Oldest daughter giving excellent "advise"/offer: Mom---choose what you want to take..move..and I WILL GET RID OF THE REST OF YOUR STUFF.
Knowing this triggered a happy thinking process for me: IF I were downsizing--what would I take???what would I leave???what would I get rid of...and HOW????
I do keep a neat, uncluttered house; living room, dining room, kitchen, power room ready for guests anytime; kitchen cabinates and drawers-orderly/organized, closets-orderly/organized.
Bedrooms/offices and baths--neat, uncluttered; chests, desks, closets--orderly/organized...
However.....THERE IS STUFF...accumulated and kept over XX years.
The "easy" decisions: furniture,pictures. lamps..either they "fit" or they go to a home consignment store, Goodwill, maybe an "estate" sale..
therefore the GET-RID-OF-STUFF challenge is all the "orderly/organized' STUFF in cabinets, drawers, closets.....
So The ADVENTURE begins....getting rid of ALL extraneous STUFF BY 2026.
DISTRIBUTED SO FAR:
1. 25 zippered carry-on bags receiver as 'gifts' from various tour companies --never used.
Given to the Unitarian Church Winter Shelter for homeless women.
2. 10 books to the County Library book store for resale...
WAITING/ready FOR DROP OFF:
1. TO HOMELESS CENTER: maybe 200 tubes of hair conditioner--gotten with hair color
2. To Salvation Army: 10 "oprhan" wine glasses
Distribute the Stuff... and...well thats the adventure.
Ever onward..Stuff Master..
