Ok, so this show, Hoarders, should be on a continuous loop 24/7. I feel for these people and identify with them. And it motivates me to get rid of some of this stuff!! I will say this to friends and family (both my own and that of others with hoarding tendencies): Be supportive and understand that to us, it's not just junk. We are more likely to succeed with a gentle helping hand than with a shove, telling us to just throw it all away. We are emotionally attached to this "stuff" and if you yell at us about it or throw it out behind our backs, you do more damage than good.
In the spirit of Hoarders night, I took a step tonight that may seem strange to an outsider (but it makes me cheer!) Those who know me, know about my love of candy and day-after-candy-holiday-sales. The items pictured below bit the dust today.
