Good morning Tammy!

Delete.

That sounds like a Wow! As I've been taking end of the year personal inventory, my spice drawer is full, I have multiple sets of most things I've collected or accumulated over the years, mostly parts of something bigger, a collection or sometimes things I'm curious about and yet never actually followed through with. My mental space is constantly working on something. I have shredded and burned old journals, love letters, and other things, given away, thrown out or disposed of in some way.

Deleted in the way we used to do things.

I have wondered with all the accumulation of things created in the internet space, what happens when it's time to let go of it? I'm glad to know of someone who is open to that instead of having the equivalent of an overstocked garage packed with organizational paraphernalia that is in itself an accumulation.

Like, how does one Just Let It Go? (You should see my office/studio space! Far from zen or feng shui and yet I am working in the direction. Who do I want to be? and then Be that person.)

What's really truly important. I guess along with the Delete goes the Stop Doing. My choir is doing Mozart's Requiem. I've sung it before with another choir a long time ago when I was a very different person. She couldn't actually read the score. It's hard to explain how that works. I'm finally learning how to read music and it's changed completely my experience with music. I could have kept the same score that's full of comments. Instead, I've chosen to buy a new score. Making space for what ever comes up.
