Part 1: Enough Is Enough
The other day I was “organizing” my bulging closet, and I bought some canvas storage bags to put away the things that were dangling off of the upper shelf. I stuffed them like a turkey at Thanksgiving. They were so heavy that when I put them back on my shelf, the nails holding my closet up actually came out of the wall and everything started to tumble. It was a heavy moment indeed.
As I sat there with my tons of clothes scattered everywhere, I had an “Ah Ha” moment, to quote an Oprahism. It was time for me to surrender. I had to admit that I have a problem, a shopping problem. I am tired of it.
Just before my wardrobe almost buried me, can you believe I was even thinking of hiring a closet organizer to design a new layout for me so that I could have MORE room for MORE stuff? I didn’t have too much stuff—it was just that my closet layout was not efficient enough! Yeah, right, girlfriend.
