The Stories We Leave Behind

Description

The Stories We Leave Behind is a legacy-based approach to preserve your core stories while sorting through a houseful of stuff!

We all have stories important to life today and stories we hope to be remembered by; and we all have "stuff". Things we bought over the years, pieces we inherited, gifts we received, oddities that live in the attic, things we're holding for friends or family. Lots and lots of things!

Traditional methods of tackling stuff focus first on your things. Does this bring me joy? Do I really need this? Have I worn this in a year? But for those of us with an overabundance of stuff, those methods can be overwhelming. In this course you'll focus first on YOU and ask:

1. What are my dreams for tomorrow (when all the stuff is dealt with)?

2. What themes and stories reflect the legacy I want to leave?

3. What possessions bring those themes and stories to life?

3. How do I want to live today?

In this introductory course you'll select and showcase cherished items that bring your legacy stories to life; create a warm and inviting home free of excess possessions; minimize time-consuming and emotional decisions for yourself today and for your heirs down the road; and reclaim space, time, and energy for you. Along the way you'll learn lots of tips and tricks for re-homing stuff and how to engage family and friends in the process.
