The sentiment below is one that I expressed eight years ago, and it is still valid.

Written October 17, 2017 ✍️🏾

Not sure who this is for, but I'm going to get this out and keep it moving.

As blessings are poured upon you, everyone will not rejoice with you. Some would much rather lament on what you did wrong no matter how long ago it was, and no matter how many times you've apologized. If you have done all you could to prove yourself, yet it still isn't/wasn't enough, accept it, and remember that God hears and knows. Don't block your own blessings or hinder your growth because you are stuck in the past. We all have sinned and fallen short at some point. The very ones criticizing have their own shortcomings. There is not ONE perfect among us.

I say all that to say you have a choice. You can choose to remain among those who don't have your best interest at heart, or you can accept better. It's your call.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Back story: The husband and I shared a closet until the youngest child graduated 10 years ago. I kept the MBR closet as the years progressed. Unfortunately, one hanging rod fell some time ago, so we utilized temporary adjustments for hanging and shelving. Being the borderline packrat that I am, I accumulated a "few" things which made it difficult to organize.

Fast forward to September 2025 🗓

Him: Surprise! We are going to remodel your closet!

Me: YES!!!! (Over-the-moon excited, because this has been at least four years in the making) 💃🏿

Him: We have to take everything out. We need it completely emptied by 🗓

Me: 🚪
The project just became overwhelming. Now I am wondering 🤔 How do I... where do I.... 😭
🙏🏾

Took me about three days to mentally process, then I finally started the removal of stuff. I'm honestly uncertain how many days it took to get the closet empty, but we made it happen. Now the sorting, because the new closet will be pointless and unattractive if all this mess goes right back inside.

Categories are:
•Keep it 🤗
•Trash it 🗑
•Try it on to be sure 😏
•Consignment shop 🔖
• WHY did I even order this? 🫣
We won't even talk about the variety of sizes 📏 to choose from. I discovered garments that I thought were gone years ago. The number of never worn items, some with tags 🤦🏾‍♀️ humbled me to the point that I dare not indulge in retail therapy any time soon, not in-person nor online.

If you happen to see a post for Sharon's Boutique, just send a couple of customers my way. 👕 👗 👚 🎽👗👖

I've been a civilian for 21 years, and NOW I realize one of the benefits in moving every 2-3 years. We were forced to purge before moving on to the next duty station, because it made no sense hauling excess stuff across the country or abroad only to chunk it in a closet and never use it.

Has anyone else engaged in the task of completely emptying and sorting a closet? I've done bite-sized pieces in recent years, but never on this level! This sort of project is NOT for the weak!

Just over seven years ago, I published a book to honor mom's memory and legacy.

Happy Birthday to the sweetest mom in heaven, Sweet Magnolia. Your love, wisdom, and legacy live on in my heart and through the pages of my book. I miss you more than words can say, but I know you're celebrating with the angels today. Sending all my love and birthday wishes to you in heaven.
