Big Burn Releasing Ceremony


So ..... I have been hauling around these boxes of life mementos for about 14 years.
Little keepsakes and memory items. I have drug them from one basement, attic, or storage room to the next.

Well.... its a digital age and 1000s of pictures fit on a tiny zip drive.

So, why am I hauling these every boxes everywhere I go.
Today I am spreading it all out across the floor... sipping tea an sifting through it all for one last time.
I am taking pictures of everything, and will keep a small suitcase of items that are really special to me.
things I can feel, touch, smell, and hold in the future when I look back....
but the rest is going to be released lovingly in a big bonfire tonight.
a beautiful release ceremony.
It feels so good to lighten the load.

*Big Thanks to Ashley for letting me use her zen house for the day!  what a magical, special place!
