Anyone who knows me or spends any amount of time with me, knows I am just a little OCD. Even though I can be a piggy from time to time, I like things orderly. I pride myself on my ability to purge and release unnecessary items and clutter from my life. My husband is a clothes horse and a shoe whore, not me. Tell me, who wouldn’t want their clothing organized by color and type, it’s the only sensible way.

Once Auretha helped me with techniques for releasing anger and other emotions that were causing dis-ease in my body, it was time to start some work on the outside. I was going to let this Soul Stylist into my closet. I was so excited to get started, but I knew it was important she saw everything in my closet, so no purging was allowed. I went through and sorted all the items I hadn’t worn in over 6 months and wasn’t in love with and put off to one side of the closet; it was almost half of what was in there! When she arrived, we went through each item and I told her why I was releasing it, beaming with pride. I loved how she gave me additional insight too.

Then we addressed what I thought were the keepers or the items I wasn’t sure about. It was a little scary as I slowly pulled out one item at a time. My goddess dresses were tucked in the back. Every time I wear them I feel beautiful and regal, thank goodness they made the cut and why the heck haven’t I been wearing them? There was a gold glittery jacket that I was emotionally attached to that I bought when I went to England when my husband and I were dating. I kept him, but released the jacket. I was amazed with myself as I joyfully released these items that no longer served me or reflected who I really am. As everything sat in piles on the bed,  I stood in disbelief. I can’t wait to explore and create a wardrobe for the real me!
