Back in the summer, my mom and I went to South Carolina – to visit with my Granny Lou, and to painstakingly, go through, purge, organize and re-pack all of her STUFF. She had a storage space just down the country road and over the border in North Carolina and since I talked her in to moving out here to Lyons over a year ago, I offered to go help bring back all of her belongings. It was a chore to say the least, but it was also inspiring. Inspiring to find fun sentimental things from her father’s childhood, her childhood, my childhood … and inspiring to shed some of it via a huge 15′ truck to the Goodwill. Liberating and exhausting.

I am presently moving my studio from my basement/garage to a sweet little place here in town. I couldn’t be more thrilled. Moving always reminds me of how much STUFF I have though and I’ve been going through a bit of an overwhelmed spell recently. It has now been exacerbated. Maybe my mom will return the favor and help me go through all of MY stuff.

I am quite inspired by these two Time Magazine articles: here and here.
