MEMORY -
Candy wrapper purses. The first year they came out, Uncle Pete went out and bought me one. I had not yet known of the recycled trend, but he did and he just had to get me one. I remember him being so proud of his find. He purchased it at an art gallery in Downtown Disney.
APPLICATION -
Cleaning day ;-( My closet had taken a turn for the worse! It was time to get organized. I have been a purse junkie for years. Collecting bag upon bag. Handbags, duffel bags, clutches .... had them all. For Christmas, Erik bought me the new Miche bag. The bag that has interchangeable shells. One purse, and hundreds of different shells. There was no need for my HUGE collection of purses anymore. Having no emotional attachment to my collection, I began tossing the purses one by one.
I paused for a moment and was happily surprised. There at the bottom of the pile was Peters Candy Wrapper clutch. I held it close realizing that it hadn't been put to use in quite a long time.
REFLECTION -
Currently planning the perfect outfit for the most perfect purse.
I invite you to follow my day to day discoveries as I begin Living Like a Loved One, I lost my Uncle to cancer a year ago in late September. It's been a challenging healing process for the entire family, and I've decided that it doesn't have to be that difficult. During the next year, I will take the most special memories of my Uncle and bring them back to a reality in my day to day life. I hope this brings comfort and enlightenment to all who subscribe.
