The Urge to Purge and Other New Year Ideas

The Urge to Purge at Wellness Media Group

We are now into the first week of 2019.

I am hungry for chocolate 🍫

& thirsty for wine 🍷 but I sit with 

my water 🍶  reading through my favorite blogs.  

Four of them extolling the virtues 

of starting the New Year with a

Whole House / Whole Head purge. 

There is even great fanfare for a full reality show 

Tidying Up with Marie Kondo 🧹 on Netflix! 

I am here to tell everyone to 🚦slow down a bit.

Over the summer 🏖 my sister sent three boxes 📦 of

items my mother carefully saved 🏛 over the years.

My sister did not want the “clutter” any longer.

The boxes were full of Grandmother Eleanor's glassware 🥛🍷🥂 

wrapped in yellowed newsprint 🗞 from 09/21/2003, long after her death.

There were photos of my Grandmother Jenny, whom I never knew

 and of her mother left in Sweden 🇸🇪 when Jenny immigrated.

There was a teacup and saucer ☕️.

Then shoes ---

Mine ….

And my mothers

These treasures I shall never purge. 

So go to your closets, junk drawers, garages and proceed 

with . great . care.

I will purge the need to purge and eat my 🥦 instead.
