Don't you have a dedicated small space for sentimental stuff

Well, I do...and it's getting pretty full! But the thing is, I really am trying to look at things objectively and to also think "How attached to this am I and could someone else receive a blessing from it?" In this case, although I love it, I think someone else should have it that needs it and can really use it.

Whenever I come to something like this...I always think of MEND. They are our local abortion alternative organization and I really want to support them.

Compromise. Keep it, because it has such sentimental value. Buy something for the organization, and donate that.

My biggest problem is getting rid of stuff that I don't want, but it was given to me as a gift. Like when people come to visit these things should be there displayed, but I just want to pitch them.

That is a good organization to assist 2J. I gave all my maternity clothing to a place like that in Waco. They also used to have a Thrift Store along the lines of Salvation Army that I used to donate to. But, it moved and I never located the new place so switched to Salvation Army.
