This and That
Closets
I cleaned my main clothing closet and removed three bags of clothing. I'm ashamed I had so many clothes and I didn't wear them. We have so much and really need so little.
Then, I forgot.
I forgot that I cleaned my closet. When I walked in my closet later, I thought I'd entered Narnia because I didn't recognize it. It was a wonderful world my closet, but it wasn't Narnia.
Message conveyed: Don't clean your closet or you'll become confused.
Revelations
It’s going to be a great week if I make it so. I had two revelations this weekend—revealed about self-power.

1. If you are waiting for validation from someone and you can get it to save your life, stop. The waiting isn’t worth it and the validation is not on its way. And, if you continue to wait for that validation, you're putting your power in the hands of someone who does not care about you or you would have experienced the validation already.
2. If you don’t look fear square in its face, fear will pursue you relentlessly. Fear will also take your power from you.
Message conveyed: Don’t give away your power. It’s yours.
A New Year's hope for you and me.
"Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours." ~Swedish Proverb
Happy Monday!

Seriously, wonderful revelations...now if I can convince myself, life would be much calmer for me.
Have a good day, T :)
(helps that when I give away stuff, I always regret it)

And I never clean my closet. Who knows, maybe there's a wormhole lurking in there.
We're all linked in this world of inernet, holding each other up, catching one when he falls.
Again thanks. Barb
I'm cleaning my closet, too...because a shelf fell off the wall, it had so much stuff on it! Sigh.
I love what you said about power and validation. I'm going to remember those points. Thank you.
