I had heard and even used the term before, but I had no idea how deeply it was impacting me personally. Throughout the stages of emptying our home… there was a TON of garbage. Let’s just say I am reconsidering my consumption habits!
It is no surprise that these things didn’t increase my happiness. What did surprise me was realizing that I had become a slave to my things.
This experience has already been a great test of faith … sell everything we have, our home, all of our belongings, and it heartbreakingly included saying goodbye to our sweet dog.
