500 Items

I just started a new 500 item purge and this time I am taking inventory of everything. I am down 55 items so far and have consolidated storage locations for several things already. I have enlisted Adele's support by asking her to choose her favorite things over all to keep. When I ask her to choose what to donate, she suddenly chooses to keep everything but when she's asked to choose her favorites, the outcome is revealing. This technique has made a difference for both of us - choosing what we love to keep and donating what's left over.
