This is so beautiful. Beautiful. I really felt it and related to the memories of all the packing and moving I've done over the course of my life. So many moves. I've been in the same place for going on 13 years. That's the longest I've ever lived in one place. I like it a lot...I hope to never move again.

So poignantly written. The sifting and sorting, wondering too always how it will feel to unpack them? How will they fit and arrange themselves into this new chapter… Gentle and loving care as you go about this process. 📦☑️💜

What a lovely observation on this particular experience that we all go through in one way or another. ♥️

This is such a lovely essay about what we choose to keep and when we choose to let go. Thank you, Katrina.

Oddly enough, even with a troubled childhood that included being kicked out at 16 with all my possessions in a black plastic bag, I still managed to hold on to some things that matter all these years later.

One of these days you and I will sit down and share our divorce sagas. For now, I wish you much love in your new digs. xx
