[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some useful tips for sure, and Marie is darling, really an appealing human being with such a kind heart and spirit.

But I'm always surprised that so far (after watching 7 episodes) I never hear anything about how donating can help others. For example Mario with the 150 pairs of shoes, many of which he'd never worn and were too small for him, but he had such a hard time letting go of them. I kept thinking, there are kids and men out there who need new shoes, if I were Marie or his wife I would have said, those shoes could be useful somewhere else, bringing joy and helping someone with less means than you, instead of just sitting here in boxes. This is one way I am able to purge my stuff: I think about whether someone else - especially someone less fortunate than I - could make better use of something than I am doing.  It helps to give things up knowing that they will be used instead of sitting in my closet or in a box or cabinet.  I gave a huge amount of household goods to Wider Circle using this line of thinking.[/quote]

I think the beauty of Marie’s method is that it meets people where they are. Does the item spark joy in YOU? It doesn’t matter if someone else could use it better. The question is whether the item is meaningful to you. [/quote]
