  1. Have just listened to this podcast and found it very enjoyable (like listening to 2 friends chatting) and insightful. The idea of things we own somehow having something of us in them came to me this week during the A-Z challenge. It’s good to think about why we find it difficult to let things go because sometimes even just taking a moment to realize why, can make it easier to let go. And I really like the advice to do someone a good turn if you’re having a bad day. I’ll remember that!

    1. So glad you enjoyed the podcast, Elizabeth. It was great to hear all about decluttering from a slightly different angle, wasn’t it?
