I have officially purged my closet of some maternity clothes. I have held on to a few of my favorite articles, but the rest I have given away to a soon-to-be mom I have never met, who is 4 months pregnant and has found herself recently single and without a clothes budget.
And you know what?
It feels good.
I'm not hoarding them in hopes of getting pregnant again. I'm living in the present and the present is that I am NOT pregnant.
She was shocked and grateful and said, "There's a whole wardrobe in there!". I didn't tell her the stories behind the beautiful blouses and dresses or the comfy jeans and big over-sized shirts. Sometimes, it's good to keep them in the bubble, you know?
Letting go of simple things makes me feel just a bit lighter.....but enough.
Go me!

((hugs)) It is a great and wonderful thing to do.
I also recently carted off two big boxes of baby boy clothing, to someone who needs them. It killed me, but it was good to let go.
I would probably do this if I a) knew where mine were, and b ) had the strength to sit and sort through them.
good for you!
"GO ME" is right!!!! I am so proud of you....You sound so good and like you are in a little bit of a better place, at lease for the moment. :) This is huge!!! I don't know if I could have done it myself...But you are right, We ALL need to live in the present....for me, I stuggle with letting go of the past....thank you for these words...I will say them over and over.."I NEED TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT" afterall that is the only thing we all have....
hope you have a great rest of the week!!!!!
Go you, indeed. XO.
Wow. That's incredible. Very generous of you, and also really touching. I'm sure it wasn't easy, but it is very inspiring.
Good for you!
I think letting go of things allows space for something new.
And goodness knows that those clothes hold memories. Sure not all of the memories are bad, and at the very least they can be bittersweet, but it can feel so freeing to let them go.
Yay for feeling lighter:)
Oh, so proud of you. That's such a huge step and one that'll help someone else out. I'm sure she's grateful.
good for you...it seems you are in a good place lately, and i'm glad you're gaining from it. for today.
Go you :) Getting pleasure out of giving to those who need more than we do feels darn good.
