Giving away baby stuff is the surest way to conceive, intentionally or not.

Laureen,
Let that energy flow, and also allow yourself to keep some of the memory energy. I think you’ve found a great solution. And if you’re ever in need of girls’ baby items (or what’s left of our unisex items after our April boy will be through them), just holler - I’ve not gone through those boxes yet Franziska

I understand what you mean. It’s so hard to pass on those clothes, to consciously acknowledge how fast they grow up and change.

I’ve come to look on each change on clothing size as a milestone, to recognize where they’d been and where they are in their lives.

Hey Laureen,

I *just* faced this two nights ago. I sat in front of the boy’s closet looking at the bags of waaay too small clothes and feeling something close to panic. Do I give these clothes to the two dear friends I know are expecting boys in the spring? Do I give them to freecyclers? Do I keep them for a third? Can I even handle a third? And then I feel panic and freeze again. Good, strong, tidying thoughts coming your way

I think I have that hoarding disease/disorder. I have such a hard time getting rid of those things. I will be crying with you, totally supporting you in keeping those bits that have meaning. It does go fast doesn’t it?

I’m not sure I needed convincing that I need to do some tidying and sorting around here, LOL, but I like the perspective you’ve now given me, and the incentive to get back into it. We have so many boxes of partly-sorted papers and things… no wonder the energy feels like it’s stale (is it possible for energy to go stale? well, anyway…)

So (((hugs))) for the letting-go, and for the clearing and tidying of energy, whoever it’s being cleared and tidied for.

And thanks for the renewed incentive!
