Pretty funny!

I never thought she was trying to make people have perfect homes. Rather, I took her method as a way to make sure the things that surround me are things that are truly meaningful to me.[/quote]

I agree. I think she said that if you really love all your stuff, keep it. But most people don't really love all their stuff as much as they like space and freedom.

My stumbling block is economic security. There was never enough money growing up to buy new clothes that fit and we had to keep whatever we had (sewing up holes, ignoring stains) because there wasn't likely to be more. I think her book talked about letting go of that worry and trust the process, but it's hard.[/quote]

I came from poverty too, and so my instinct was to hold on to everything also. But then I realized that all these things I was keeping just because I was afraid of having nothing was [b]keeping me from actually enjoying my home, and that was even worse[/b]. [/quote]

What helped you really grasp the last point? How did you get yourself to that stage? My situation is similar. I know the above intellectually, but have a very hard time realizing it fully. [/quote]
