Yin and Yang- The complete Tao - by : Jane Kifer

HOLD ON! I know I am all about getting rid of stuff and clearing out spaces and making space to allow goodness to come. BUT the opposite side of the coin must also be embraced. I'm seeing that as I move through my house and think I should get rid of certain things, I realize I actually have an emotional attachment to certain things and use. That is good too.I say KEEP IT! Letting everything go is an imbalance without the realization that we should also hold on to parts also. There is a special blanket from a special person that I got when I was 13. My kids use it , I love it, it is special. I realized I was trying to force myself to give it away. I spent a lifetime holding on to everything afraid to let anything go because of my past, now that I allow myself to give stuff away, so much is unleashed and embraced, However, it's like the pendulum swinging in the opposite direction, slowly coming to a calmer,balanced center swing. So I am going to hold on to the blankets that maybe aren't the prettiest, but mean so much to me.
